What are your boat must haves?
« on: April 20, 2011, 09:15:56 PM »
Just bought a new Parker 2120 sport cabin. I am very excited to get this boat outfitted to fish all the Puget Sound and coast has to offer. Is there anything that you just couldn't live without (boat accessories, gear, electronics, tackle, etc) on your boat! Tight Lines

I like empty bikinis.  :chuckle:
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Be sure to have separate gps and depth finder displays as trying to watch both on one screen is a pain.

I am sure I will think of more....  Good fishing!

Depends on the women that were in the bikinis in the 1st place! A cooler full of ice and beer  :brew:

Very true, some bikinis are best left full!

Compass, spare plugs, GOOD electronics, up to date safety gear, paddle, mooring lines and rescue tape!  None of my boats move without all of these on board!

An anchor and line, probably more useful than a paddle on a 21' boat, keeps you off the rocks/beach/Japan while waiting for help.

You will need extra plugs, fire extinguisher, paddle, signal device, throwable PFD, life jackets, extra battery, fishing nets, rods and tackle.  Down riggers if fishing salt an depending on age, boaters saftey card as the coast guard may board your vessel.  Bumpers, 300' of anchor rope, chain and anchor.  A good fish finder and charter.  I use the Raymarine A70D.  A good set up.  A lot of money for fuel.
