I don't think you need a licence to pilot your own boat as long as you don't take passengers for hire but I'm not sure. I know I didn't need on for a 51' boat but there are some different rules at the 65' and over.

The rest of the system has not been specd yet, but I have a lot of research (3 years). Comments please on components and or complete systems.
