So while we are clarifying laws here:
Someone please explain the law that states PFD's are not required when the bow rail/gunwale of the boat is a certain height? Is this really true? So my 25 foot bowrider with high freeboard is exempt? Not something I would ever test out but I would love to hear the interpretation of this one.

Not freeboard, but the distance from the rail or gunwale to the deck. Read the last paragraph in post #6 for clarification.
