When Boating Inspect the Equipment

(Jefferson City, MO) When you take your boat out to Missouri rivers and lakes, Missouri Water Patrol officials urge you to inspect your boat and equipment before you hit the water. Missouri State Highway Patrol Corporal, Dallas Thompson, says they can inspect your boat and make sure you have a proper equipment list of items you should have in your boat at all times.
