Guess it depends where you are and how controlling your local government is. I've never heard of a boating license. The boat itself has to be licensed, but not the operator.

yes; i would trust someone renting a boat less than someone owning a boat- you need to know how to navigate the lake if you are going in a boat. the rules and stuff.

Yes same as renting a car.
