Buffalo Harbor / SBH


Recommended Posts

Just finished up with a meeting with all the NY Sate,County,Outer Harbor Development at the U.S. Coast Guard Base Buffalo.Now listen to this carefully, they have taken down the 10 mph Speed Limit signs for the Buffalo Inter Harbor. They will no longer pull you over for speed in your boat as long as you are not reckless and putting others at harm,U.S. Coast Guard discretion.So if you respect other boats by using navigation rules on the water for passing other boats and move a little away from drifting or anchored boats you will have no problem.

Also the intersection of Furhmann Blvd & SBH boat Launch road will become a 4 Way Stop,eliminating the problem of speeding traffic down Furhmann Blvd causing near collisions with trailered boats trying to turn left coming out.

Doesn't mean the U.S. Coast Guard will not stop boats for safety equipment checks,just they will not ticket you for speeding if your following the boating rules of the road.This time of the year the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves are doing their training time and they will stop boats for safety checks a lot.Once you have been inspected once,they usually have your boat registration number and leave you alone.
