The truth of the mater, is that those rear facing loungers are probably legal to use while underway....

What is not legal to use was is many MFG.s are doing with bow riders and CC boats, is butting a seat to be used in conjunction with the Swim deck when you are at anchor... those are most certainly not designed to be used while underway, and I have seen a case or two of that happening....

The Marine Patrol has a hard job, interpreting the true intentions of the law. I applaud this officer for approaching taking a picture, and then bring it up with his superiors.... they aren't out to ruin anyone's fun....
Related to Marine Patrol, but not seating. We were watching the boating in Alton Bay and the young son of a guy buttoning up his pontoon boat next door was on the dock with dad. 1st or 2nd grade age. MP slow cruising down the bay. Young boy wave to him, and MP turned and came over to the dock and talked to the boy for a few minutes. When MP left, he wished the dad a Happy Father's Day, and gave a final wave to the kid. Nice job, MP, for making a young boy's day. 👍
Back to the thread at hand.
