can i deduct by boat?

currently to take a boat to sea you do not need a licence, however I strongly recommend that you should take a course in boat handling before doing so.
You should be aware that you sould know the rules of the road,basic navigation,radio proceedures and most importantly the International collision regulations.Failure to to adhere to this can lead to prosecution under international law resulting in a heavy financial penalty or even imprisonment.
It is always better to under go some training for your own safety and the safety of others.
If you are in the UK you can find out about courses on boat handling from The Royal Yachting Association

where Can I find a wiring diagram for 1981 Johnson outboard control boxa/?

No but, in NJ, and CT, you must take a basic boating course, in NY all pwc operators MUST take the 8 hr course, it (NY) will probably follow NJ and CT with "Boat operators" needing the 8 hr course, I think it's a great idea, you should at least take the ABC basic boating course offered by the coast guard, learn from THE BEST ! It may very well save your life ! It's easy, it's fun, they do a really great job, and you get a CD for review of the basic course, just a little quiz at the end of the class, THEY WANT YOU TO PASS, and will help you if you need it. GREAT FOLKS !

Where can I get a list or a directory of all Italian owned ships?

it depends on what state u live in. I'm in Michigan. You have to be born before either 1968 or 1971 (I think) to drive a boat w/o a license. Just go down to your local DNR (department of natural resources) office and they will give u info. To find this office, search the phone book, or try asking at the post office or Secretary of State office. Hope it helps.

There is a reproduction of and old sailboat or ship in California, that you can take a tour or trip on.?

If you are younger than 18, yes. If you want to ride a personal watercraft (Jetski, Seadoo, Waverunners), then you need a lisence no matter how old you are. I have a license and I had to take classes every week for a month, then I had to pass a test to get my license. I've had it for 5 years now. There are many laws to follow. Speed limits, the Right of Way, Water signs like slow down or do not make waves. And it is illegal to be within 100 ft of another boat or personal watercraft while driving.
