I think sales of inflatable pfd1's and boats over 4.8m just got a very big boost.

These jackets are not cheap, but then what cost do you put on your life we just bought a car we cant afford to run due to the always increasing petrol prices and now the boat will stay in the carport till I can afford new jackets.

It's not law yet Karren - boat away, your old jackets should suffice anyway.

Thanks mate,
My jackets do need replacing but I was gonna wait till I get another boat.
So I will be using the old ones till the law is changed, I thought the new law was to come in last April, I shouldnt listen to those who think they know all but know nothing.
Thanks again Steve.
