I was trying to find what I am required to have on the boat? Lifejackets, etc, cant find a list on the forum, yet..
Otherwise, I am all set on insurance, I already have my Safe Boating Certificate/license, registration is done. If you think of something I need shout it out!
Thanks

Hi SOB,
I see you are from Pawtucket, RI, I am as well, I live in the Darlington Section between Slater Park and McCoy. Lets commute to the lake
Make sure you have a boat hook,
one or two throw pads,
life jackets for all those traveling on your boat at all times, good Idea to have a couple extra in case of odd sized people and to use as floation devices as well.
First aid kit,
good lines,
a bow anchor and a anchor for the stern for the sand bars so you are not swinging into people.
a radio and a cell phone that has see tow, BoatUS and Marine Patrol programmed into the phone
Fire Ext
Bizer Chart/map
and most of all buy your own gas station
