[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 194274, member: 4585"] In FL you are required to have a 1staid kit, horn or whistle, paddle, and fire ext. Along with a life jacket for each person onboard and a throwable cushion or life preserver if there are more than 3 people (That is for boats under 16 feet in FL). I think boats over 16 feet have to have a throw cushion no matter what. There are different requirements for different size boats and HP as well. Be sure to check your state requirements. Nothing will ruin a fun day more than a a fine from the Fish and wildlife people. Here in FL they do not play. The FWC along with the Sherriffs dpt. and the U.S. Coast guard will do random inspections at the boat ramp and out on the water. Last weekend I put in, and beached my boat right beside the Clay County Sherriff patrol boat, at the ramp and went to park the car and trailer. My wife stayed with the boat and when I got back they were asking questions about the length. When I told them 15ft he said "Oh Ok" Can you show me your life jackets? Of course I did and I asked if he wanted to see my safety equip. He said "No Your ok, Thanks and be safe". [/QUOTE]
