By flares I hope you mean aerial or meteor flares. I wouldn't use the "roadside" type while on a fiberglass boat full of gas. Now the former may likely be mistaken for some fireworks, especially this time of year, but I'd rather that than set the boat on fire. I guess you could duck tape one of the fire spewers onto the end of a boathook and hold it waaaay overboard though, that might work and be safe enough.



You do have duck tape on board ...don't you ?
