    I'm sure it would vary from state to state, i'd start with a whistle , a two way radio (cell phone) ,fire extinghusher , life jackets and a flare gun and first aid kit.... would be some basic requirements..

    I am assuming by safety equipment they meant a pfd (life preserver).  14 ft boat is actually pretty small if you encounter foul weather and high seas (large waves).  The boat can flip or swamp (swamped boats collect too much water from waves and slowly sink.  Also, depending on how many are fishing on the boat someone could accidentally get pushed overboard. Some people who fish get pretty aggressive trying to get the fish on board before it gets off the hook.  Having clean pliers to remove hooks that accidentally embed in you is a good idea too.  Have fun but PLEASE throw back any fish that is too small or that you do not plan to eat!!!!

    do you mean 14 foot boat?

    You funny guy Romos...lol

    I suggest adding to the list, when in the Cleveland or Detroit area, a shotgun, pirates you know.

    Yes, sorry about the mistake.

    A rear view mirror is a safe idea........

    I would say that life jackets would likely be required in most municipalities.

    A certified life jacket for each person.An anchor,A white navigation light centrally mounted,red & green nav lights,red to port (left),green to starboard,(right).may be optional on small open boats.An EPURB unit is also optional.Oars or paddles.These are basic requirements by international marine law.

    thank you so much and sorry about marking it in inches and not feet.
