So IF [and I am not sure]....class A is a boat less than 16, then your 17 foot boat does not require you to wear a life jacket.
I hope you are correct and if so I will bring proof to court however when I asked the Warden about it bein 17' he said any boat with a tiller!I wasnt wearin the safety lanyard either but he said he would let me slide on that!
