Here's our list of the stuff WE have to have on board.
* Family and friends to enjoy a day on the lake with us (not every time but once in a while is great)
* Extra beach towels in case friends show up and want to go swimming or for on the seats while just cruising on a hot day
* Trash can under the helm (can double as a porta pottie if need be)
* Wet wipes (unscented ones in the baby section at wally world for a buck something work fine for us)
* Our small softside roller cooler (water - soda and sandwich meat and cheese to keep cold)
* Sunscreen (seems like we have 10 varieties from lotion to sprays)
* Bug spray (evening cruises in the summer)
* Good Camera & Cheap Waterproof Kodak camera/video camera (for sandbar pics)....going to tryout the gopro on a mount this year for tubing footage
* Cell Phone (in dry bag that floats)
* Sunglasses
* The catch all bag that always goes with us (things we normally forget and just leave in the bag)
* Clips for the changing room that hangs from the bimini
* Bottle of 303 cleaner and protectant with extra micro fiber towels
* Spot detailer for panels and trim (more micro fiber towels)
* New cd full of mp3's to play (when the radio has nothing but commercials)
* Wireless remote for radio (can change from rear of the boat with no problems)
* Floating chairs/loungers (sandbar relaxing)
* 12v air pump for floating devices (tube and others)
* PVC Sand anchor (sandbar once again)
* Tow rope for tube
* Towing bridle (for towing boats not tubes....never know when you might need it)
* Misc rope and bungee cords (mainly for transporting towels/stuff on top of the cooler from car to boat at docks)
* A small toolbox with simple hand tools like screwdrivers and small wrench set - fuses & testers (from old boat) - electrical tape - zip ties - sparkplug wrench and plugs....for our old 2 stroke 50 just haven't taken them out yet and some odd and ends.
* 12v jump box (newly added)
Then there is all the docking and safety equipment on board.
* 3 large bumpers w/rail clips
* 1 extra bumper (in case of rafting up or out the front at some docks we use)
* 2 - 20' 1/2" dock lines and a couple shorter ones (depending on docks again)
* 3 different anchors (everything from a homemade one we have used on the floating chairs to a 15# navy anchor)
* Ton of life jackets from adult to small kid sizes (15 or 16 last count)
* Throwable cushion
* Fire extinguisher (safety thing)
* A paddle....for the boat and not me (just in case of emergency)
* Dock hook
* Whistle
* Air horn
* Distress flag
Last but not least.....
The BOAT KEYS (yes we have left them at the lake house before and had to make a trip back to get them) Getting old and forgetful is a real pain sometimes
Wow now that I go over that long list of stuff we have on board it's a wonder there is enough room for us to go out and enjoy the boat
