Assuming you are talking to me - but not sure why you would say that. You obviously don't know me.
I'd just spend the money on something else that had absolutely no return, other than turning dollars into fun.

So here's a question...What PFD requirements usually exist at a normal poker run?? I know I know Lifeline is the best of the best but I'm simply not in a position to spend that kind of money on life jackets...Yes I know there is no price on safety I get it trust me...but what are some other alternatives?? I saw some mustang ones that are like 80 bucks at bass pro and although they say "fishing vest" on them they do have a 100 mph rating for what its worth...what's everyone's thoughts/experiences on the subject??
thanks |
How Poker runs make you feel: you’re poor and your boat is slow 😂😂😂 |

At a poker run a few years ago, we partied too hard the night before - woke up late, needed fuel in the boat, and thus, missed our group's start, and had to start in the (last group) cruiser class. Nice slow 30mph ride to the first card stop, could barely stay on plane LOL. But we were boatin' and that's what matters.
Just get out there, get involved, and enjoy the day/weekend! ...and most importantly, meet some new people! |

Most rules say "life jackets" it doesnt mater if they are orange, boxy and say k-mart" on them.. hopefully you have something marginally better than that though... but most require you have them on whatever they are...

The last time I checked Lifelines still were not USCG approved.....Best jacket available but you still need a bag of $20 jackets on board. The inflatable horse collars are good also. Just make sure you have them on correctly and adjusted.
