I pick up my new bass boat next week. I'm currently making a list of things I need to buy. I have other boats but I prefer not to swap stuff back and forth since things like PFDs get forgotten at a crucial moment. the boat is new so it should have fire extinguisher and comes equipped with fishfinders and a powerpole. I'm looking for those small items that you tend to overlook. So far I have

Docklines
PFDs and Throwable
Marker Bouys
Dip net
Tool kit
Fish Rule
Scale
Weigh Bag
Spot light
Head Light
rain suit
fuses
tie wraps
paddle
G-force Tmotor cord
Needle nose pliers
Bass Boat Saver/ Microfiber rags

Im old and was brought up tuff, best sunscreen is to get burned once and if cigarette smoke won't repel the bugs crank up and run somewhere else. As for rusty needle noses, worm bits and empty cans and bottles that's a given.
