So I got most everything on this list plus a few other items, then I ran it past a buddy of mine and this is what he sent back to me:
You'll also need a bag of basic life vests. This will cover you when you have guests on board. You have to have a vest for each person. It's the skippers responsibility, by law. They usually sell them with 4 or 6 per bag. Make sure you have enough to cover a boat-load full……arh, arh….
By the way, those square seat cushion/life preserver things are required by law. They are "throwable" life preservers.
Make sure you have two of the window pocket suction thingies….his and hers basically. Otherwise you'll have lipstick and other sh*t in your drivers-side pockets. ; )
Get a water-resistant map bag….I keep all of my maps in this, my insurance and boat registration (required by law) in this in the glove box.
Suction cup orange water-skier flag….(required at some lakes - like TRL)
Spare box of various fuses for your boat and truck
Two Optima Blue Top batteries, I think the model number is dm31 if I remember correctly.……does your boat have a dual battery setup?
Lock for trailer and lock for your draw bar if you don't already have one….
Spare bulbs for lights (trailer and boat)
Couple of Tupperware type boxes with semi-lockable tops to get things like paper towels/toilet paper in….to keep them dry….
Spare tire and rim if the boat/trailer didn't come with one...
Make sure you have a lug wrench that fits the lugs on your trailer - if not (mine didn't), I found a little set at Bass Pro that I keep behind my seat in the truck.
Build yourself a drive-up-on ramp for changing flats on your trailer - used mine for the first time last summer, worked GREAT!!!! It's basically just 4-5 staggered 2x10s nailed together.
Lantern, flashlight and a spotlight that plugs into your cig lighter plug
Flare gun if it didn’t come with your first aid kit
At least one oar in case your engine dies out there
Red support thingies for your lower drive unit for traveling - to protect against a hydraulic failure/leak - you'll have to cut them for your specific drive unit
Spare prop - they ain't cheap, but good to have - it can seriously ruin a planned-out weekend - happened to us at Lake Ouachita, AR
Prop wrench for your drive unit - keep in boat tool box
Chalks of some sort for trailer
Large beach towels for the ladies to layout on……<devilish grin> ; ) At least 4 of them……<devilish grin> ; ) I always try and wipe the boat down with these at the end of the night as well. Depending on how drunk I am….LOL!
Bottle of vinegar for removing water spots on the gel coat
I'm sure you already have a set of FRS radios - comes in handy when your talking the "old girl" through backing down the trailer at 2am and drunk….. ; )
Boat name sticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naked feet only stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (no shoes stickers) - you'll be amazed at how many people will want to walk right off of a dock or beach with their frickin shoes on……unbelievable
Vinyl cleaner (for seats and trim in boat)
Wet buns….

Intertube if you like
Add skeeter repellant, sun-block, and other stuff like this to your first aid kit. added gauze, Neosporin, rubbing alcohol and stuff like this
Just kidding. I knew there would be more, but damn.
