Jim, most of the safety stuff is as simple as padding any sharp edges. However the one safety item that you must have are kill switches for both riding crew members. Theses need to be the pull off cap type that connect to your life vests.

Otherwise, some good helmets and life jacket are what you need most. You can read the SBI or APBA rule book regarding safety issues. OPA is basically the same as theirs.

Sweet ride Donzilla.....I look foward to meeting you...welcome to the addiction.

Donzilla, Boat loks great!! Nice work:cool:

Ron P,
Do the life jackets have to be orange lifeline? I have lifeline pokerrun jackets. Got the padding covered> how about non skid on the decks how much required? and the saftey check list from opa says transom grab rail? Also got the cap type cut offs. Pretty much there. Got halon on the way and just need a vhf.
Qball and R addiction Thanks for the compliment! I look foward to meeting everyone soon.
Thanks again,
JIm
There is a peak at my new353 in the back ground

Jim, I don't have all the details. Please call Kurt at 732 477 7400 and he'll have ALL the answers.

Are you on the OPA mailing list? If not, join it at www.njoffshore.com so you get all the updates.

That boat looks like it would fit in Outlaw "A" class APBA or GLOPRA (if they decide to make it a class)
