Congratulations Bill! Excuse me Capt. Bill! As a holder of a USCG Uninspected Towing License for almost fourty years i can assure everyone they just don't hand out those licenses to anyone. You have to put hours and hours of studying in to pass any USCG course. So i applaud your efforts in aquiring your license Bill
It's not 360 days otw it's actually 540 8hr days on western inland waterways for pilot 1. I'm a mate for Carlisle and bray Enterprise on the Ohio river. I've been out here a little over 2 yrs
Yes Bill has not clue what he is talking about like a guy on a sailing vessel with a VHF radio talking like he is a big vessel captain. Embarrassing to us for him to try and look cool to his buddies. He holds a mate pilot maybe a 100 ton at best he can drive thing under 20 meters with a person without a mate pilot can too.
You should be more specific of the license you hold. Is it a masters license if not your just a mate not a captain. And what is the tonnage of your license? Deck safety, deck navigation, plotting, and rules of the road for an inland and near coastal. Then there are a few more test you take to get your western rivers and great lakes endorsement. Once you hold a mate pilot for 18 months you can apply for your master. A mate needs to have a master on the vessel or he can not operate the vessel. Once you hold a masters license you can now call yourself a captain if you want. We will still laugh at you if you don't at least hold a master of unlimited towing if your call yourself a captain. FYI😮
Its a 6-pack. I am allowed to take 6 paying customers out on my boat. That makes me a Captain. I took all the tests for a 6 pack and passed them (plotting, etc). In fact I speed ran the test thinking I could re-take it the same day for some dumb reason. I passed with flying colors. Others in my class didn't pass because they went fishing instead of studying for the test.
Was thinking about doing it later in my merchant marine future. I serve aboard military sealift vessles. I have plenty of sea experience ( sailing the high seas lol! ) appreciate the video boss!
It all depends on the state and county. I got a county business license and pay state taxes through it (kind of a double tax). You have to pay federal income tax too. Which makes anything I use for business purposes a write off. The testing for the Captains license was not easy.
@@jbreawilliams4507 The school I did was only a week course. I wish it was a little longer. Was a ton of information to learn quickly. Business licenses can vary from place to place. You may not need one.
The guy I talked to say depending on the state too do most captains have one he said probably not unless they are LLC or inc. So he kind of gave me a yes or no answer
What a studious young man you are you dad WOULD really like you. And congratulations on getting your Captains license 😎 If I would contact you for guided trip probably from the bank. I like dry land and you to fish from the bank. Again congratulations Bill. PEACE OUT Panfish 🐝🐟😎🐟😎🐟🐝
I set on the over 5 hrs last night had skip Jack shad chicken AND live bluegill for bait changed and checked my bait every 45 minutes I got nuttin I'm going get my telescope out and mess with it and the skyview app on my phone it's Purdy cool I mess with it while I'm waiting on the bite THAT NEVER comes😭 PEACE OUT Panfish Hopefully you're catchin NOT fishin🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 🐝😎🐟😎🐟😎🐟😎🐝
Well I will say the Skyview app helps feel the blank spots I'm a fishing geek AND kinda a night sky geek too and the hoot owls calling back forth was cool I was able to count at least 6 different owls calling last night. PEACE OUT Panfish 🐝🐟😎🐟😎🐟🐝
I never saw anything about that in the training or application. I did see where I could volunteer for assistance when needed (floods, etc). I checkmarked that so they can call me if they need help.
Yes once you sign to get your tankerman of dangerous cargo PIC LIC, MATE PILOT, MASTER OF TOWING, OR MASTER OF UNLIMITED TOWING LIC. you are agreeing to be first drafted.
Congrats and you will likely be needing a federal tax ID number and taxes can be a big pain but on the plus side for you, you'' ll be able to pay annually if you have no expectations over $4k per year. Great way to start, especially as a part-time venture... Regardless you should sit down with an attorney, perhaps an accountant and certainly your insurance agent before making the leap. If you have neither currently, ask friends and relatives. Your local SBA office is probably a waste of time, federal office is kind of a joke but the basics are likely available online. Again congrats and good luck! And hey, come to think of it, I've never been to Tennessee...
Congratulations on getting your Captain's license! Keep up the great work and informative videos. Capt. Billy... Has a good ring to it. :)
Thanks!!!

A 6 pack is only 360 days.

Cap'n Pan & The Lost Boys! What about drifting? Isn't that technically considered underway?
Yes it is! As long as your not physically tethered to something with a rope.

Congratulations on the captains license was wondering if you need a business license after you pass the test and how hard is getting your oupv
It all depends on the state and county. I got a county business license and pay state taxes through it (kind of a double tax). You have to pay federal income tax too. Which makes anything I use for business purposes a write off. The testing for the Captains license was not easy.
Was thinking about going to sea school I was asking about the Business license because some people say you don’t have to have it which was weird to me

Ok thank you so much
Congrats Bill.
Thanks!
Can you perform marriage ceremonies?
I can't with only a captains license.
No he can not you have to be a captain not a mate pilot and you have to be in US waters on a vessel to do it.
Congratulation Bill
Thank you!
Congratulations on getting your captains license. Now change the name of your channel to Captain Bills

LMAO!!!
Does the US Navy request your services in time of war if need be? Like in the movie Benjamin Button?
I never saw anything about that in the training or application. I did see where I could volunteer for assistance when needed (floods, etc). I checkmarked that so they can call me if they need help.
@@TNRVG thats cool. Congrats man. Im happy for ya.
