Life Jackets PFDs Storage / Bow Seat.
US Coast Guard regulations require that every vessel on a water, including
inflatable boats, must carry enough Personal Flotation Devices (Life jackets,
PFD) for each passengers on board. Police can stop any boat, and issue fine if
there are no PFDs on board, or not enough for each passenger. However, space
inside inflatable boat is at premium, and finding place to store PFDs can be
challenging.
BoatsToGo introduces new invention - Life Jacket storage that helps organize
PFDs inside your boat, and also doubles as a bow seat.
Bow space of inflatable boat is usually empty, and seems to be most suitable for
life jackets storage due to its shape. Our new bag/seat offers neat storage for
PFDs that can also serve as a convenient bow seat for a passenger.
Our PFD storage was designed to work with most common, inexpensive general
purpose life jackets sold in retail stores such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, etc
for about $20/pc. It may not work perfectly with all shapes of PFDs on a market,
just those similar to as shown on pictures below.
PFD storage bag will fit in a bow of mostly large inflatable boats, size 12' and
up. If life jacket shape fit into bow of your boat, then storage bag filled with
PFDs will also fit in just fine. Up to 4 or 5 life jackets can be stuffed inside
storage. Ideally 3 or 4 jackets is best for seating in a bow.
