Drinking and boating is not only dangerous, it's illegal. In addition to boat- ing while intoxicated laws, there is also a Federal BWI law, enforced by the Coast . Guard. This law applies to all boats, including foreign vessels in U.S. waters and U.S. vessels on the high seas. There are stringent penalties for violation of BWI laws, including the possibility of a large fine, suspension or revocation of operator privileges and with id purchase of a 1996 Polaris Personal Watercraft We're rewarding you for shopping early for your personal watercraft blast this water season!
