Cheap? I can find allot more uses for my $130 + 30

Like Ronnie says depends on boat size. 99% of the boaters on this board comm fishing with a state license won't "need" say an epirb. You run into more regs if comm tuna fishing, someone told me if your comm tuna fishing you are required to have a liferaft. I know lots of guys who fish giants in boats less than 25' and don't have one. So not sure on that deal. If you want to fall aslepp fast its all in the CFR's. I go to sea for a living on commercial ships and the regs change all the time.
