What is the legal consequence of operating an unseaworthy vessel?

  1. A fine

  2. A warning

  3. Imprisonment for up to five years

  4. Revocation of boating license

The correct answer is: Imprisonment for up to five years

Operating an unseaworthy vessel can have serious consequences, such as putting the safety of passengers and crew at risk and potential harm to the environment. As such, the correct answer of imprisonment for up to five years reflects the severity of this offense. A fine or warning may not adequately address the severity of the situation, while revocation of a boating license may only affect one's ability to operate a vessel, rather than facing consequences for their actions.
