- Familiarity with stern drive and/or outboard engines is ideal, but not required
- Certifications (e.g., Mercury or manufacturer-specific training) are a strong advantage but not mandatory
- Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and Missouri Boater Education Card (boater safety certification)
