My wife and I are looking for some inflatable pfd's to go with the 36ft Grand Banks that we have an accepted offer on contingent on sea trials. The sea trials will not happen till spring, so it's going to be a long winter!
My question is inflatables pfd's. I believe that we want automatic. Should we go with 25 or 35 pounds buoyancy? We will be doing the loop and will be in open water getting the boat to WI from MI as well as doing the Gulf crossing. Also, should the pfd have a harnesses? After doing some research, I found that Landfall has a pfd that I have not heard of. It's the AI-150AH Automatic Harness from Firstwatch Wavebarrier. It's automatic and has a harness and the price is right.

Is anyone familiar with these? Are they worth buying or is there something else that I should be looking at?
