[QUOTE="Gman4, post: 427109, member: 21897"] Thanks Dearl for your insite! I did a little research and yes there is a Federal and Coast Guard regulation stating that if your vessel is less than 20ft it must have adequate level floatation which means your vessel when filled with water should float level or neutral with the top of the gunnels. Most Boat manufacturers adhere to this regulation and fill boats with the adequate amount of foam required. So technically the CG could give you a ticket if they were asses about it, but I think your right, if you have all your personal safety gear and required documents you should be good. A friend of mine purchased a brand new 1448 Weldbuilt from a dealer in Alabama and he custom ordered it with no foam in the back bench for storage reasons. Along with the yellow and white Coast Guard Placard there was another placard stamped into the boat that was bright red and it stated This vessel is designed for shallow water use only!
