You DO NOT have to report a boating accident

That statement is generally true. You do not have to report a boating accident if the damage is under $1,000. However, it’s important to check the specific laws and regulations in your state or country, as they can vary. Reporting requirements can depend on factors such as injury, property damage, or whether there was alcohol involved. Always ensure you’re aware of the local laws regarding boating accidents to stay compliant!
