yes had mate/pilot of towing inland great lakes western rivers 200 ton near coastal now have near coastal & western rivers master of towing. problem is i on 489 ton utv linehaul boat western rivers (mississippi river) which is ok because western rivers has no tonnage restriction. But my understanding is that the near coastal covers inland routes to the limit of license which i beleive is 200 ton, so if i go through locks and into inland waters would i be legal. Old license had inland and near coastal seperated which inland had no tonnage limit and near coastal was 200 ton.
