Gotta have's
Okay folks. Again, thanks to all for taking the time to provide advice and information. We are now in the midst of finalizing our purchase and marina...but more to follow on that in a later posting once the deal is "finalized."
On another website, I found a list of items that a new boat owner should consider that I'll paste here.
Also, I'll look around for some folks to show me around the lake. Here's the list I found:
Gotta haves:
- First Aid kit,
- Flares can come in handy (required in some places)
- Marine Fire Extinguisher
- Type IV PFD (this is the throwable type)
- Mooring lines (at least 2 but would recommend 4)
- Fenders (at least 2 with lines)
- Large Flashlight
- boot hook
Not required but will keep you from having a bad on the water:
A spares kit
- Extra prop with hub kit,
- Extra hull drain plug,
- Spare fuses,
- Extra light bulbs for nav lights,
- Extra engine hose clamps,
- Engine oil,
- PS fluid,
- I/O fluid,
- Power Trim fluid
Toolkit
- Prop Wrench,
- Wrenches,
- Socket set,
- screw drivers,
- Pliers,
- Grease gun with extra grease,
- Duct tape
- Any other tool that you think you might need
Nice to haves
- VHS radio
- GPS
