Boat builders flotation "? Any boat builders here heard any thing about a new requirement starting 1 oct that all boats must now have flotation foam. Had a builder tell me this so I wanted to here it from others?

USCG - Approved floatation has long been required on boats built
for sale across State lines on all hulls built for recreational use that
are sold to the general public. Gator Tail has somehow sidestepped
that rule to get a USCG Exception. Commercial hulls are not normally
required to have USCG floation nor are Custom built or Home built hulls.

Each State also has addtional rules regarding the issue of titles and
rules about the issuance of licenses for use on their waterways.

Custom built hulls are more likely to have State imposed regulations
than federal ones. You should look into those State regulations.

Here is a link to the applicable USCG regulations: http://www.uscgboating.org/regulations/ ... tents.aspx

I didn't see anything new.
