joe, inflatable rubber saucers (what were long ago erroreously referred to as
"lift rafts") more safe the smaller they are for the number of people onboard.
In other words, a two man raft with two people onboard is safer (or less
dangerous, take your pick) than a four man raft with 2 people onboard. A
lightly loaded raft flips over more easily in any kind of wind.

Picked up a 30 man switlik liferaft this weekend at a garage sale.

It's 110 pounds in the soft case. Last inspection was 85.

Its been well taken care of, and shows no wear at all. It was a govt
issue that came off an aircraft. Do you think it can be re-certified ,
or is it just to old?

It loaded with all types neat stuff so I may just pop it off here.

It would also be great as a last resort to stop a sinking boat. Just
toss it in the galley and pop it off. It gotta be huge.
