You guys forgot one of the most important pieces of equipment... duct tape! LOL!
The number of life jackets on board should equal or exceed the number of people your boat is rated to carry. They make some nice life jacket bags to hold them. I also have an officials whistle in case I have to signal someone. At 110 or so decibels, it tends to get some attention quick.
Anyway, if it were me, make sure you get a nice GPS with whatever boat you buy. Make sure it takes the Winni C-Map chip. It will help you to get oriented to the lake while making sure to keep you from skippering off into a hazard! You should still carry a good Bizer Map.
