hey guys i jus bought an 18' boat. can someone point me to a website for what kind of equipment is legally required to have b4 i launch the boat i.e life vests, flares, fire extinguisher etc.. thanks!
you dont say what state, but check with DNR (dept. of natural resources) or the dept. of watercraft at the DMV they will have a booklet (at least in oh.) that tells what you need .
if your new sign up for a boating course from the power squadron or the coast gaurd aux.
Another possibility is to go anywhere that sells licenses, and see if they have a pamphlet on all the boating regulations in your state. Handy to have information in printed format when you're in the learning phase. I still grab a new booklet every couple years to check up on any new rules.
