Its just your good looks!!

I never got boardered till I made eye contact one day, Pay them no miknd and don't look at them, they will pass you *bye.

If not tell them to take a picture so they no have to stop you any more.

They have monthly quota's to meet also. :-/

Re: keep getting pulled over
 

*In our state it was common practice to pull vessels over 16' because of the likelyhood of required equiptment not being on board and the fact that the larger vessel's owner had more money.
Yes it comes down to quota and money just smile and comply. :-/
Oh by the way, have you changed your boat registration?

Have you got a lady onboard in a bikini?

Seriously...happened to me and the Mrs. EVERYTIME we went by the CG station untill I told her to cover up till we got through there (right next to the launch). Didnt happen again... ;)

They just want a closer peek. ;D

If no lady on board, it must be the boat...they just want a closer look ;) ...

kajun, i got pulled last week for the first time in about 15 years. the officer was real nice and quick, no checking of registration & license, just a quick look in the coolers & live wells. Also a PFD check. If you don't have fl regs on the hull that might send up a red flag. Just grin & bear it til they get to know ya. i have heard that with gas prices, they don't "patrol" anymore, but hang around the pass and do checks there. just stop & troll through the pass & they usually won't stop you..

I always look straight at em and wave. This normally throws em off. The last 2 times I got stopped were during the big GASPARILLA boat parade in TAMPA, before that the only other times I got stopped I can think of were during lobster season.
