I will send a pack of soft baits to the first person that gets this right.

A person under __________ years of age must wear a USCG-approved Type I, II or III PFD at all times while underway on any vessel less than 26 feet.

18

[spetro]

nope....and nope

[Fishaholic]

when underway...you should always wear a vest no matter what age you are.

[Sharon]

  guess thats just the laws in Massachusetts

[spetro]

when underway...you should always wear a vest no matter what age you are.

That is absolutely correct Fishaholic........But there is a mandatory age.....that is in effect for almost every state.

Hint..........guess lower.

[DAWG]

16 years old

[Sharon]

under 6 yrs in Fl
under 12 was for Ma

[Fishaholic]

The age point varies, however, 27 states specify the age as either Under 13, Twelve and Under or Under 12, 6 specify it as either 10 and Under, Under 10 or Under 8 with only four states specifying this age point as either Under 7, Under Six or Five and Under. For Tow-Behind activities the number of states requiring a life jacket be worn regardless of age is 38 while for personal watercraft operation the number totals 46.
