Default Re: FREEBOARD ?

Fishmaster, been takin' my kids out in the V20 for last almost 7 yrs and other boats since they were in diapers...now 14 & 16...never a problem w/anybody goin' over the gunwales...

Rule #1...kids have on PFDs when under way...no compromise!!... ;)...I've been lucky no doubt, but your kids in the boat as w/any other situation are as safe as YOU make 'em...NEVER assume anything...count heads BEFORE you crank the motor, every year, kids lose life and limb because somebody started a boat motor w/out knowing there was a kid too close to the prop... :'(...keep your eyes open and use good judgement... ;)...

And God help the MORON who takes the kids out for a day in the boat w/a cooler of beer or any booze... >:(...not sayin' it's you, but some who do... ;)...
