What is the minimum term of confinement for Boating while Intoxicated?

• A. 72 hours
• B. 48 hours
• C. 96 hours
• D. 24 hours

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the statutory minimum confinement required for Boating while Intoxicated. The law sets a mandatory floor of 72 hours, meaning a person convicted of this offense must serve at least three days in confinement. This three-day minimum reflects the seriousness of operating a vessel under the influence and gives a baseline punishment that cannot be reduced by the judge. Other numbers listed are not the standard minimum for this offense; they would only apply under different circumstances or penalties, not the default minimum.
