Hold on to your hats - a real question by Wannabe

It occured to me that I don't have a paddle in my boat and it seems that the MDFWP may require it. Don't need no Christmas Card from Mr. Green Jeans. Am I required?

Also, what about a fire extinguisher? Ever boat I've owned before now had one mounted when I bought it, but this one doesn't. I know it's a great idea, but is it the law?

And just so you won't be dissappointed in my sudden serious tone - Fee-lay is a gewber that should be forced to fish from the bank next spawn as punishment for his ample, audacious and sustained gewberness.

Wannabe...

Pretty sure you gotta have both in boats over 16ft, along with a throwable floatation device....

And yes, fee-lay is a grewber....

As the old saying goes...." Got your Gewber...ness" if that is such a word. I believe that is from the WB Dictionary for Dummies...Version I, of course.

Fire extinguisher is required, don't believe a paddle is though,I could be wrong. Now as for being a gewber.... I am the fish catchinest gewber y'all will ever know.... I expect rude comments from Wb, he's just insecure about his own inadequecies, but stone...Who pulled your chain? I may have to come to grenada and open a can...No Tim and I aren't related, though I might be your Daddy, Patrick! Ha!

FF has no idea about my powers and what I can make him say.....Obviously....:D

Page 6 of the dictionary plainly defines "grewber" as what FF did as a child. He grewbered into a full growed gewber. That kind of gewberness, you're born with. You can't buy it in a store. Today, FF is a complete and fully mature gewber, full in all his powers of gewberishness.

Fire extinguisher - YES

Paddle - Not required

Throwable - On boats 16' and over

Yep, and if you get ahold of the right (wrong?) guy, the fire ext. better be in the
"green" if it's got a gage, or the button better pop back up if it's that kind...

Yep, from experience :rolleyes:

Mississippi Boating License and Boat Safety Course - Chapter 4: Legal Requirements

Agree with the extiguisher, paddle, throw device, etc., and while a paddle is not mandatory at Reelfoot Lake in TN., if you fish it in the summer you might want one, mandatoried or not. It's real good for flippin the snakes out of our boat when they come for a little visit. This too, from personal experience.

Ding Dang MSHLS, you just took all the fun out of this thread with that link. Think of all you joy you robbed these fellas of poking fun at me. C'mon now, if you're gonna post, you have to think of others before yourself. :)

Thanks for the link.

Didn't mean to spoil the fun! On the other hand why should they have fun while I'm at work.

A paddle won't do you much good in these hurricane winds we've been having.

Might not get far, but may help you maintain control in a bad situation.

Don't forget the whistle or horn. I am told there is a certain warden on Washington who will pull out all stops to write a ticket if he can.

Fire extengisher is only required on boats that have enclosed or permanent(built in) fuel tanks. As for a paddle, I honestly dont know(I dont carry one either)

Talk about gewbers! WB, what kind of gewber wouldn't have a paddle or fire extinguisher in their boat and would have to post as to whether they actually needed either???:D

Whats up with having a sounding device(horn/whistle) in the boat ?
