Most boats 16 feet or longer are required to have a Type IV throwable device, usually a U.S. Coast Guard approved boat seat cushion. Youso notes that this is a common boating law violation, although the requirement has been around for 12 years in Minnesota.</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.ifallsdailyjournal.com/news/police-reports/sheriff-urges-safety-over-fourth-july-9750">read more</a></p> http://www.ifallsdailyjournal.com/news/police-reports/sheriff-urges-safety-over-fourth-july-9750#comments Police Reports Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:57:53 -0500 Journal Staff 9750 at http://www.ifallsdailyjournal.com
