Below is my nickels worth.

Well I think it is a no brainer. Why put a life jacket hidden away in your boat if you don"t intend to use it. I wear my PFD before I get in the boat and take it off after I get out. If I have a boating accident and am unconscious and in the water.....I will float.....will you. I spend 4 days a week on the water. Every year there are so many that drown and the wearing of a PFD would more than likely have saved them. Yes I do believe that PFD's should be mandated as must be worn on all watercraft. I am on everything from a kayak to a cruiser and wear my PFD on all. Not to be condescending but sometimes the government has to protect you from yourself, just like safety legislation at your workplace....it saves lives.

I'm like "longfish", anytime I'm in the boat, I have my PFD on.

If I'm out alone, I also have the lanyard motor shut off attached to my belt.

That way, if I go overboard, the boat will be there, as opposed to me watching it disappear over the horizon.
