life rafts
im seriously looking into life rafts for the v-20 since i plan on going out further within the next couple of years and i found a model that they say is for coastal water and then they have the ones that are for offshore. they seem to have the same basic things. balast bags hand pumps and canopies, where the offshore models get different is that they have flares and paddles and other sorts of things. but they basically look like they would do the same job. i also will have an epirb so i dont plan on spendign that much time in the water and in the GOM there is always some type of boat, aircraft or manned oil rig in the vicinity. i will have a ditch bag with the epirb, handheld vhf, gps, food, water, paddle, emergency blanketsm full array of flares and such, with teh appropriate 1st aid items. so is the offshore raft worth the extra 1300 dollars? thanks
