Hi everyone. This is my first post. I just completed a new jon boat (will post photos later). Have a few questions about SAFETY. My boat is 10', with a 5hp gas motor and a trolling motor. Live in South Florida. Will be taking my boat into the everglades mostly. Will be within 50' of shore always. My boat is small and I dont want anymore on the boat than I really need.
According to the coast guard my boat needs the following safety items
Copy of registration, drivers licence and fishing licence
Life vests
Throwable cushion
Air horn
I plan on including these additional items
Fire extinguisher
Multi-tool
Spare fuel
Paddle
What are your thoughts?
