    What a great boat ... why do we sell what we wanted so bad .....

    Big Bass,

    There is a porta potty only. I always wished for a more elaborate system but this was enough to keep the wife happy.

    Cove Hunter,

    We sell what we always wanted in order to get something bigger and better that we always wanted. :) I am looking for a 29' Tiara open to replace the Pursuit.

    Ken,

    Thanks for the reply. I agree with your assesment that the flag & strobe are not as effective as the flares, smoke, dye etc. I will continue to keep all of these on the boat but I just thought it might be less expensive in the long run to buy the strobe and flag in order to fill the Coast Guard requirement in case I get boarded.

    Regards,

    Phil

    No, the only distress "light" that meets requirements is a special one which flashes SOS automatically when turned on. The only company I know of that still makes one is ACR. The problem with the light is that it just may not get that much attention.

    The flag DOES meet the daytime requirement, but in my opinion is a joke. How much attention do you think that will get? Most boaters probably wouldn't even know what it signified. If you're REALLY in trouble, you'll *want* flares, rockets, grenades and whatever else. So choose wisely.

    I went through a similar thought as you about these - except in my case I didn't like having the highly flammable and potentially dangerous flares on board. However, after watching these videos, I changed my mind. I decided to go with orange smoke for daytime and meteor flares for at night. Yeah, like flares they still expire 42 months from manufacture, but they WILL get attention and at least they seem a lot less hazardous to use than flares.

    The Personal Marker Lights are not a requirement for non-commercial boating - though very much recommended that you have one on your lifejacket.

    Looking for help here. I am tired of spending money on distress flares that expire every 2 - 3 years. They are perfectly usable and reliable and I will continue to keep an ample supply onboard but they do not fulfill Coast Guard requirements. Will I meet the requirements for visual distress signals with a distress flag for daytime and personal strobe lights for nightime?
