I got stopped by lake patrol last week and they gave me a hard time because I didn't have a Coast Guard rating decal on my transom. My boat is a Brother Breaux that I purchased off the original owner. (I don't know how to reach Brother). Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of those commercial rating decals? Thx! |

Has anyone had trouble with exceeding the rating by WLF? Or is it more of a suggestion |

My phowler that doesn't have flotation just has a sticker that says "Do not remove For commercial use only" stuck to the stansom only thing funny about it is that on the title for the boat it has a max capicity of 6 persons but doesn't say anything about weight. I thought that being a commercial hull I would have been able to register as OR |

What does the rest of the thing say? "Do not remove For commercial use only......" Mine's been painted over. |

Ok, the decal on my friend's PD simply says, "Commercial Use only, do not remove this decal". |

Came across the Q & A below on the Gator Trax website. Pretty informative, but I'd like to confirm it with USCG regs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is a commercial hull (with no flotation) legal? A: Yes! A commercially rated hull is a hull that either has not enough flotation to keep the hull afloat when full of water, or no flotation at all. Most of the aluminum flats you and I have hunted and fished from our whole lives are commercially rated. A little flotation under the bench seats is not enough to keep you afloat when the boat fills full of water and it is loaded with motor, people, and gear! You either have enough, or you don't. A commercial rating simply lets you, the buyer, know that this boat, while it meets the requirements of being seaworthy, will NOT float if 100% full of water. It means no more than that. It does not mean that you have to use it in a commercial capacity as a consumer. It is a recommendation, not a requirement. Our recreationally rated hulls, WILL float full of gear, motor, people, and water, as long as the limits on weight are not exceeded. The advantages in a commercial hull are a lighter hull, more dry storage, and a cheaper price tag. One of our competitors cites a law and they want you to believe the law makes commercial hulls illegal. Not true! If you read that law, it will state that it is illegal to claim a hull is recreationally rated when it is not. Nothing more. http://www.gatortraxboats.com/s-12-faq.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
