We had designed a little TUFF boat for the kids (and big kids) for 40 hp and then to be upgraded to maybe a 90 at most. But the floatation requirement law has it stalled right now.

The question is, what floatation requirements are there from Coast Guard on the little boats? Are they loaded with foam, or do you exempt them somehow?

TeamSaris 11-20-2007 06:03 AM

My boat doesnt have foam.

Our 2006 15' Seadoo Sportster, 155 HP 4-stroke closed cooled ROTAX 1500cc 3 cylinder engine, that does 48-50 MPH with 2 people and 1/2 tank of gas. This thing is alot of FUN!.
Smallest boat I ever owned.

I wanted one of those for years just for cruising the channels or out to the beach. Those little b@stards sure hold their value because I could never find a good deal!

any boat less then 20' must have foam flotation.
Please read laws if you are going to build a boat for public purchase!

10' Bonanza, (GW Invader knockoff), with Modified 50 Merc, plate, tabs, etc. Haven't driven it in 10 years. Moved off Gun Lake to Lake Michigan. 2 footers were about the biggest you could still have fun. After that, stuffed it every time.:D

Bob,
LOL! Yep, with the price of gas, we use the the Seadoo all the time, except if we are going out in the Atlantic, or have more than 4 who are going boating with us. The boat runs like a top,:D thanks again, and please stop by for a ride if you are on the space coast.
