Paddle Laws

I have been having this debate for about 4 years with a friend of mine. He say’s that SCDNR Reg’s or law says u must have a paddle on your boat or vessel. I have looked for this timelessly over. And cant find it. Tell me how do u paddle a 22 ft CC.

Only if its under 16 ft.

wow, i was under the impression you had to have one on most boats. i too had the same thought about it doing little or no good.

I keep one on my 21’ but it is mainly for other reasons than paddling.
The top-end has a boat hook which has been used several times, and the paddle end has been used to “Mix the shrimp” with the ice when I used the boat for shrimping.

paddles are no longer req. in any size boat per DNR…
