[100mbs]

Does this mean for Closed Bow Boats and/or for Open Bow Boats that have Seats that are made to be seated in????

How can you not be allowed to ride in the bow of an open bow boat?
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question?

You cannot ride on a closed bow boat on the bow...on an open bow boat, you can ride in the open bow seats but not on the open bow gunnel area....there is a specific rule somewhere, but I cannot find it..

AW HAH! I was going to say, if you can ride in the seats of an Open Bow boat then why and the heck do they sell them.
I get it now, it was what i expected.
Thanks for the clarification...

See Mbrown2's answer. I was trying to ask can you ride in the bow of an open bow boat or not?

I also believe the no bow riding deal is only on plane...
I have no reservations to having someone stand on the deck, so I can nose the boat upto the dock and send them to get the truck. I dont belive this is illegal (maybe @ castaic) because i've done it infront of the ranger w/o even a funny look.
BJH :idea:

I was told by a sheriff at Shasta this year that it is while underway no matter the speed. My kids were riding on the bow in a 5 zone and he waved and told me about the law. He was real cool. Said it was $500 fine if he was in a bad mood.

I was informed once, at havasu, the only time you can ride on the bow of a closed bow boat is when you are inside a no wake, or 5 mph, zone with a boat where the bow has a perimeter railing.
Maybe this has changed, that was a few years back.

I think it's wise, the life you save, may be of one you love
