The Survival Products raft is a lot cheaper than my Winslow quote.
I know some life preservers have 10-year inspection intervals. What raft has the longest interval?
For the ELT requirement, I think I can just strap a PLB to the raft.
FAR 91.509(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may take off an airplane for flight over water more than 30 minutes flying time or 100 nautical miles from the nearest shore, whichever is less, unless it has on board the following survival equipment:
(1) A life preserver, equipped with an approved survivor locator light, for each occupant of the airplane.
(2) Enough liferafts (each equipped with an approved survival locator light) of a rated capacity and buoyancy to accommodate the occupants of the airplane.
(3) At least one pyrotechnic signaling device for each liferaft.
(4) One self-buoyant, water-resistant, portable emergency radio signaling device that is capable of transmission on the appropriate emergency frequency or frequencies and not dependent upon the airplane power supply.
(5) A lifeline stored in accordance with § 25.1411(g) of this chapter.

Looks like you finally found the glass slipper! Glad to see the smiles on the faces, it's hard to put a price to those. You've got a thoroughness that I wish many people had, soon you'll be the expert on the 350's.
Cheers,
Sean Fowler
