    Personally I prefer the Mustang hydro static "horseshoe" style PFD, if you go in they automatically inflate and flip you right-side up if unconcious, plus they are very comfortable and cheaper then the Lifeline, which I find uncomfortable......but it is all good, we are at least discussing safety stuff.................
    Yes I sold the Scarab, eyes open for an 18' with no motor, can you say, "LSA"?

    If you go in, don't hit anything on the way out, and don't tear it off when you hit the water at 70 mph, they automatically inflate and flip you over.....

    I see value in the LifeLine more for the protection it's going to give you between when you leave the seat and when you stop bouncing.

    Boxy's point is very valid. It's not so much the getting tossed in the water that gets ya, it's the stuff you hit on the way to the water that hurts ya..

    FWIW, I have been pulled several times while wearing lifelines. I have yet to have an officer give me a hard time about it, nor ask to see an approved PFD...
