CO Kayakers: Question on Vessel Marking

[ferrum]

Just to add to this.
I have boated in Colorado for 20+ years.

For my gasser. I register the boat, have a boat ID on the side , per regs.
I carry a fire extinguisher, sound making device (whistle) , lights for when I run at night, a throwable flotation device, and pfd for everyone on board.

For my inflatable, human powered , pontoon I just wear a pfd and have a whistle. Nothing else.
Been checked by CPW many times and have never had an issue.

Edited to state. A sound device appears to be required for a kayak and it looks like I do have one for my pontoon. Current regs do require name and address to be on the kayak in a clear and durable fashion.
