What safety equipment is required in a jon boat?

In a jon boat, the required safety equipment typically includes a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board, a whistle or sound-producing device, and a fire extinguisher if the boat has an enclosed space. Additionally, it's wise to have a first aid kit, a throwable flotation device, and navigation lights if operating after sunset. Local regulations may also impose specific requirements, so it's important to check local laws.
