Not sure about Cali but I like what Washington State started doing a few years back. Boaters are required to pass an exam pretty much like a driver's test that includes rules and regulations for safe boating.
Over the next few years a new age group is required to take the exam and get a card. Currently it's age 25 and younger, in 2010 it's 30 and younger, etc until everyone is required by 2014.
As far as a boat goes, if you are bringing one into the state you have 60 days to register it. If buying one in state, you have 15 days. Some boats require Coast Guard documentation along with State registration.
