Thread: boat inspection by the coast guard

I would question the marine radio. I would say it's necessary on the ocean or the great lakes ,but not in small inland waters.

I got mine checked about a month ago on Truman by MO water patrol. He gave me a sticker to put on the boat for passing it. He did check that the fire ext. was mounted. Never said any thing about a radio though. He did check my life jackets and throwable out real good. He liked that I had a whistle even though I had a horn. Nice guy and explained a few things to me that I did not know about.

DITTO.
Got checked by the warden in Angel last Tue morning. Checked licenses and fish. Good thing we had em seperated. He asked how many we each had caught and I told him I wasn't sure because I wasn't close to my limit just yet. (I only had 11 beads pulled down on the counter) I told him the ones in the right side were mine and he could count them if he liked. He said he didn't need to....they looked fine. He was a real nice guy. Very cordial and professional.
