[C320-list] Inflatable PFD

[Jerry Brown]

Hi

We have the Mustangs with manual toggle gas inflates and harnesses.  They 
are comfortable and easy to wear when getting around the boat.  Like Jon we 
have not had to use them for real yet, thank goodness.  I also have a 
Mustang floater coat for nights and cold weather.   I tried it in a pool and 
it works really well as a PFD

Regards
