    There are new rules from the COE that supercede MDWFP Regs. You can go to the COE webpage for complete details, but they basically require a PFD to be worn at all times for boats under 16', and worn while underway for boats over 16'. Also anyone in the water outside of an approved swimming area.

    Thanks for the info. Glad I thought to check on it before I went and got a ticket.
