Default Re: What Makes Party and Charter Boat Captains Tick??

Is that airboat on federally controlled waters and needs to be compliant with USCG regs as an OUPV. It's not an inspected but last quite a few regs like ALL TYPE I PFD's.

And you are restricted to 6 fares on board if you're running for fare services with an OUPV license.

I don’t own the business so I don’t worry about maintenance, insurance, or where my next costumer is coming from. I get there at 9 drive the boats and leave at 530. I love it and am finally happy making a living on the water.
