What Do I Need to Buy to Get My Hull on Water?
NAT W asked:
I have a 1979 Cajun Bass Boat. I am purchasing a 1984 115hp Johnson Outboard motor. What else will I need. I know nothing about boats. I just love to fish, and am getting frustrated asking neighbors and friends to take me in their boats.

Comments on What Do I Need to Buy to Get My Hull on Water?
u will need controls and steering for it as well as fuel supply and battery
If I could suggest only 1 thing about boating, it would be “Buy a good “PFD” (personal floatation device), and always wear it” !
in addition to the first 2 answers you will need anchor and rope, mooring lines, a throw-able life preserver, fire extinguisher, running lights [ if you are planning on being out after dark] a paddle, flares, and any other required equipment. in addition i would suggest charts of any waters you boat, a depth finder, ship to shore radio, good flashlight, first aid kit, tools, and rain gear.
since you admit you know nothing about boats i highly recommend you find training. the US Power Squadron offers very good classes. invite a few of the friends you have been boating with out too. most boaters are only too willing to help a newby learn
i also recomend a boaters safty check list. to run though every time you go out. we have one tha tis a sticker. up near the console it says things like stearing systems adiquit fule level drain plug secure weather conditions ok.
