[quote=tarch][quote=MN3][quote]..just wear a lifejacket and they have no reason to stop you in the first place.[/quote] Wearing a lifejacket is not required by law unless you are under 16. Having one for every person on the boat is required. after years of not wearing one, i decided it was stupid and wore one all the time. "A child under the age of 6 must wear a USCG-approved Type I, II or III personal flotation device while onboard a vessel under 26 feet in length while the vessel is underway. " - [url=https://myfwc.com/boating/regulations/#:~:text=A%20child%20under%20the%20age,to%20the%20shore%20or%20aground.]https://myfwc.com/boating/regulations/#:~:text=A%20child%20under%20the%20age,to%20the%20shore%20or%20aground.[/url] [quote]16ft is the limit like you said. [/quote] 16' is for registration ... this is not the same thing as title (ownership) - both are illegal to not have, either can get your boat impounded/taken away (albeit i have never heard of this happening).[/quote] Ah, makes sense. I always wear PFD since I don't trust my skill that much :-)[/quote]
