Some of the dealers will include a safety package when buying a new boat, Shep Brown's for instance includes all necessary items to satisfy marine patrol/coast guard regulations depending on if you are staying on the lake or down on the ocean. Right down to the ridiculous bell that is still necessary on larger boats...Anchor and rope, fenders and dock lines too!
