'Lo, all (hope everyone had --or are having-- an awesome Labor Day)!
Does anyone have any suggestions for equipment that do not already appear on basic lists such as this one, by the SBC?by http://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/assets/docs/boatersequipmentchecklist-pb-26ft-8b.pdf
I did a couplel searches prior to initiating this thread (combined words like "equipment," "list," "new owner," etc.) as I am sure my question has been asked and answered but alas, I did not find what I was looking for (I did; however; find some pretty amazing discussions and neat DYI ideas!)
Anyhoo, even though we won't take delivery of our boat for at least several more months, it occurred to us a lot of places are having end-of-season sales and perhaps we should start gathering the various pieces of equipment every sport boat owner needs. (Since we're on the water and have our own dock with lift (and next week, electric!), we will only be enjoying our SPX-190 outboard during the day (no overnighter's or trailering, to speak of)
So, please chime in: What neat, unique or specialized equipment items have any of you found good to have aboard a small sport (day) boat, that doesn't necessarily appear on any "official" lists but, which you have found helpful to have aboard? I'll start with what we do have:
Personal Flotation Devices (plus spares to stow on-board) CHECK!
PS - Thanks in advance!
