It's a 22 foot v hull cuddy


Up here its volutary for pleasure craft but if you have a radio then a
radio licence is mandatory. Check what your local/national requirements
are. And also look into digital radios and their licencing too.



You could be right, Ron.

I don't think that my 22 ft'r would require a radio, and I will check
out the idea of licensing, But I'll check out what the Coast Guard has
to say about it.

Thanks!


If other on a small lake, you need a VHF. May not be required, but needed.
If you have problems, and do not know exactly where you are, and use a cell
phone, you are going to possibly be looked for, for a long time. And how do
you hail another boat nearby? You have his cell number?
