: Shawn, the cleanest and easiest workaround for using your new PFD --- and a
: totally legal way, to boot --- is to satisfy the letter of the law and
: visit your local Boats'R'Us store, buy their $4.95 Type II PFD, and store
: it in an area which you could realistically get to if you had to evacuate
: your vessel.

Better yet: take the certification label out of the $4.95 vest and sew it into your masterpiece! This will satisfy all the factions, the scoff-law, the Canadian beach cops, the US Geolocical Survey, the USGC, and KMart.
