In SC you must have ID with you while boating.  The DNR guy who gave  
a written warning to a friend for lack of ID while kayaking said a  
laminated photocopy of a drivers license  would be fine.  I keep an  
old GA temporary license in my PFD. It has survived eight years of  
sitting in various PFDs during that time and still looks new.
