Re: What every boat needs??
 

Way back when I was doing the towing/salvage job ,We came across more than 1 boat that had been borrowed & folks left float'n or stranded on a Key. Soooooo ! Just don't stop in the "Park" with it.Its small, The only drawbacks- If Ya got "hands" its grip/clip comes 1/2 - 3/4 in My palm. Heavy ! Helps w/re-coil.When Ya put it in Your waist or pocket You fit in !
(Your pants Hang down past your BoXers)! Still a Cool lil' Backup! :cool:

Sounds kinky to me...

Re: What every boat needs??
 

For me it’s what I don’t have that I enjoy the most.
1. a defined agenda.
2. a cell phone.
3. exact time to come home.
4. traffic, stop signs, stop lights, etc.
5. speeding limit.
6. a care in the world.

For my must have list.
1. a live well full of bait.
2. a full tank of gas.
3. the smell of salt water as I am leaving the inlet.
4. a few good friends.
5. most everything on the boat working right.
6. blue skies and 1-3 footers.
7. fish in the box.
8. and a story to tell when I get back to those who were left at the dock.

Put plastic bag in hole insert spray foam tube into plastic bag depress trigger on spray foam can if all goes well spray foam will fill bag and hole then turn on bilge pump wait for water to leave boat or not and drive to nearest boat ramp and hope your truck and trailer are there. This will work on holes above and some spray foam will even expand enough under water if you can keep it in the desired location ie the plastic bag. I have used the two part expanding foam to float many boats successfully that had very large holes.

If you look closely you can see the tarp covering the hole in the front of this boat that was large enough to drive a small car through behind the tarp is 30 gallons of two part expanding foam we towed this boat 35 miles to the lift and kept it afloat with only one 2 inch pump.

Whiskey He wont be happy with that either ... He doesn't like the "yellow" boats!!!

Re: What every boat needs??
 

Yellows fine, just as long as you have something. :rolleyes:

I've heard of people carrying nerf footballs on board to plug any small holes that may develop.
