Boat has capacity for 10, where are y’all storing all the life jackets? The new molded T-top only can store 2. Three in each forward seat compartment and two in the console is what I have so far, but really was hoping to have everything aside from the two in the top to be in one forward seat.

I have a 236 as well with 3 kids. I bought a 10 inflatable PFD, put it in an XXL Ziplock type of bag, and keep it in the T-Bag
 
Soccer Guy - how many people do you typically take out? You only need a jacket for everyone onboard... not the cap plate. Meaning, maybe "most" of the time you only need a few... and then deal with it when you have a BOATLOAD.

But really, they fit where they fit, you know? There's no magic :)

FYI, inflatable PFD's MUST be worn to be legal. Having them in a bag does not satisfy the law.

The kids have their PDF's on all the time on the boat and I have 5 inflatables. Good to know that they need to be worn. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'll be in the same situation trying to find storage for them.
