[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 193648, member: 4585"] I Wouldn't call it a closed compartment. Its just a piece of plywood painted green with velcro to hold it down. Plenty of room for the stearing controls and fuel lines to be run in and out. plus about a 6 inch gap for any fumes to escape. I do have a fire extinguisher on board. It's the law here. Not in the fuel compartment though. I live in Fl. FWC (Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission) does not play and niether do the Sherrifs office. There is even a show on the NatGeo channel called "Operation Wild" about the FWC. I got inspected Sunday at the boat ramp by the Clay County Sherriffs patrol boat. Passed with flying colors. I didnt have a throw cushion or throw life preserver. On a boat less than 16' With 2 passengers on board you only have to have life jackets for each passenger. With 3 or more you have to have life jackets for each passenger and a throwable life preserver (a cushion meets this req.). They thought I was over 16 feet and even after they did thier insp and saw the coast guard placard that said 15 feet they still measured me. I was a little worried that with the added length of the motor they would say that I was over 16 but I was good. Anyway I got a cushion today anyway. I don't want to give them any reason on mess with me. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Middleburg-Clay%20Hill-20110320-00121.jpg"]22167._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
