I just purchased an 18' bass boat that will only be used

for PFD's? I know I need a wearable one for each

Some people say yes some say no. What's the deal?

Minimum: One throwable device.

Look up your state's boating regulations on the Internet - all the
detail is in there. Most states also publish a boater's guide - go to
a boat dealer and get one.

Good luck.

The square cushions count as a throwable device. And they are handy to have
when you want to take a little nap.
