Agreed. Not saying it's right, but I cant remember the last time I've been on a boat where anyone (other than children) were wearing jackets.

:bsflag::bsflag::bsflag:

WHILE running the boat!

Not while at Harbor park or claudios.

That boat was at rest god damn it!:eek:

I really don't understand the B.S. flags on a post when a member states that they don't drink while operating a boat. I don't want to get on a soap box ,but I
haven't driven my boat after drinking even a single beer for the past 10 years. I do drink some but have not while boating since owning faster boats. Things happen quickly at speed and I want to know that even one drink didn't slow my reaction time or reasoning. I also have a jacket law in my boat. They are the inflatables for recreation but everyone in the boat will have them on or they don't ride. I have had no complaints. I agree, at speed the inflatables are probably useless and I do have 4 lifeline orange racing jackets on board but they really are confining for the tight seating on my Jag. I do wear the lifelines on some poker runs but I must admit althought they are safer and better the comfort factor frequently wins out. Doug

Hmmmm, memory might be failing me, but I'm close to throwing another flag! :D

Okay, but withing two or three minutes! Dont make me throw another flag!!! :drink:


You might not, but 30 sure does!!! :eek: :lolhit:

That is funny sh!t Scot.....you caught him AGAIN !!! Hahahahaha, yea, and his Sutphen doesnt porpus either! Hahahahaha.................:lolhit:

Did you see Jeff doing his flipper imitation on the CT river last time out? I do recall Justin saying something about that... Being a cat guy I find it kind of comforting. :D Kev, maybe an idea for a new thread? :drink:

Let's get back on topic.

Ditto :drink:

We went with the Mustang MV4600. You can get them for around $100.00 and I have 10 on board !!!

Those are what I have for the family. They claim to have a 100 MPH impact rating. I know the lifeline guys are going to say that they don't have leg straps and may not stay on, but for a pleasure application I think they are good.

I think if you get ejected or slammed into the dash at high speed luck is going to be a huge factor. Just like a car wreck, sometimes people walk away and sometimes they don't.

$80-$90 bucks here...they look like good vests for a good price for guys like us that don't run crazy fast..... http://www.machovec.com/catalog/mv4600.htm
