So my questions are simple: Has any buddy else heard of this debate? And does anybody know if it is something that is still being considered.....

Mandatory wearing of PFDs was the word the Coast Guard Commander "floated" two winters ago—and it was
for all passengers in a moving boat.
It got shot down pretty quickly by special interest groups, and I'll bet he's sorry he ever suggested it.
I recall one boater-group known for speed, noise and fashion complaining, "How are we going to look cool while wearing PFDs?"
