What type of PFD would you buy or do you have

[jfkfisherman]

I am going to buy my own PFD and was wondering what would you buy or suggest?

Do you spend most of your time on the water in the ocean? if yes, you want a Type 1 PFD
If you are a lake or harbor guy, a type III PFD will do.

Always buy quality and from a boating type store so you can be fitted for the proper size.

sorry should have gave more info yes most time spent on the water is ocean, would like to get a pfd like the guys that are pros, like a vest that inflates by its self

Mustang 3183. Hydrostatic auto-inflate. The manual ones are worthless. How are you going to inflate if you are knocked unconscious? The auto-inflate models that use a soluble "bobbin" need a lot of maintenance. They will inadvertantly deploy in high humidity situations. If you need a contact to buy I know a place that has the Mustang at a great price. They also have the full harness model.
