I was thinking about having Class IV throwable devices for our HOBO boats. ************************ from source **************************************** USCG PFDs approved must lift:
Throwable: Cushion 20 lb. Ring Buoy IV 16.5 & 32 lb. ******************* end source ******************************************* Does anyone know if inland recreational boats might ever need the higher standard of 32 lb?
I was thinking that a hard foam round PFD throwable device with some logo on it would be nice to hang on the stern of boat. Free to members, $15 to buy. Many families will join as a single to get a "free" PFD. Once joined, they may upgrade or become more active. The novelty sizes retail for $9.95 It must be maybe $3 by the gross. I'm looking into it. OR it reads Lake Martin HOBO, member, if a member, Lake Martin HOBO, if not. I also like Lake Martin HOBO (over) Captain (under) for entry level family and Lake Martin HOBO (over) Admiral (under) for an endowment type of extra donation with levels in between, I have to work on that. A captain in US Navy is very high (O-6) already and words like vice Admiral, fleet Admiral are not well known. Could be Ensign, Commander, Captain, Admiral,
I have had the "six pack" approved IV and they are monsters!
I will throw out these ideas in case I can't make the meeting. Going to Pelham tommorrow.
No, don' have a six pack of beer now. A six pack license allows the captian to carry up to six passengers.
