In Washington we seem to be required to have a life jacket, whistle or horn, and if operating around dark a light. They seem to use the HIN (hull ID number) as a way to try and differentiate water toys(pool toys) from actual boats. We have to have those items for kayaks, SUP's, canoes, rafts, ect..... Most if not all of those craft tend to have HIN's on them and thus aren't a "water toy".
I fully expect you'd not win the argument with an officer that it was a water toy since it doesn't have a HIN. They don't seem to care about the water depth, temperature, ect....
Was just curious what folks were using. I have a few kayak vests that are fairly light and compact. Could also be a camp/glassing seat on the hunt.
