Excellent suggestion. We keep ours in a big Rubbermaid round container sized for a cake or big salad. It holds plates, napkins and plastic flatware nicely and can stay in the boat all the time.

We also bought cases of relish, ketchup, mustard and mayo packets to keep on board. They are far easier that dealing with jars and plastic bottle of stuff. We keep them in a small Rubbermaid container and replenish it as needed.

If you can mount it and store it easily, a marine gas grill is awesome. We have a Magma 17" party kettle grill and love it. Ours mounts near the transom in a fishing rod holder so that it is over water while in use. It also converts to a powerful single burner stove and is great for making coffee in a stainless steel percolator we bought at a kitchen store. Might seem like a silly little thing to have, but if you are like us, you'll find it's money well spent and will add to the amount of time you can spend on the water.

Be sure to get a bimini with the boat too. Shade is nice in July and August.
