Opinions of PFD's

[hawgdog]

Was pondering on getting a inflatable PFD. Was wondering opinions of the people who own them

Thanks for any advice

Kinda wanted on too, more so to save space in the boat. Found out that in MS unless you have it on it doesn't count. So unless I was gonna wear it all day it would not save any storage space because a regular would have to be in the boat.

Well that blows.....Kinda defeats the purpose of saving space as you mentioned

Got the auto and love it,thought you only had to have it on if under power.

Thats what I thought, but remember this issue coming to light on another thread several months back

You can take it off when not running if your boat is over 16 ft. in length but you better have a regular life jacket in the boat because the automatic pfd only counts when you have it on.

I looked in the state laws for Ms and I cant find where it says that.

I remember Wannabe getting caught in a storm and a broke down boat at a tourney. He got so wet from the rain that they went off on him

I can't find that on their website either but it is in the printed rule book that I got at WalMart.....Mississippi Outdoor Digest.
