[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 57467, member: 55"] Not exactly. Just looking at the cost of doing it, and the number of boats that I run through here. The statistics show it not happening often at all. But, I figure that if I did lose one to it, I would probably about break even in the added expense of putting it in all the boats, and the space lost by having it. As far as safety factor, I look at what is really important to float - me, and whatever people/dogs are in the boat. That is what the PFD is for. Not to mention, apparently a lot of manufactured boats don't meet specs, as I have seen quite a bit of untended boats sunk at the marinas, because they either developed a leak, or filled with rainwater, and didn't have a functional float switch controlled bilge pump, and were ignored for a period of time.
