we prefer our guests to wear denim cutoffs as opposed to swimwear. rivets help keep the upholstery polished.
and if something does scuff the interior, magic erasers are your friend.....

Sig MCX rattler in 300 blk out, 5.5" barrel and a banish 30 suppressor, 5 extra mags

The area I go to has been experiencing "porch pirates" I'm not sure what differs them from regular pirates but I'm not taking any chances this being my first boat and all.

Perhaps a tower gun rack? Lol

In case you didn’t know, magic erasers are effectively fine sandpaper.

But let’s add to the list that all ladies must have fresh pedicures with RED toenail polish so that they streak it all over the vinyl

I’ve always used them very lightly in coordination with Collinite leather cleaner and conditioner, but it’s nearly impossible to keep white vinyl looking like new without them

Cant carry weapons into international waters so hidden is best.
What, y'all don't take your wake boats out to sea?

for those afraid of porch pirates, here's the best place to keep your whip and nothing like your own private sandbar to chill at......

only downside is waiting for the chopper to take you to the lake. took 2 permits and an hour to drop it in and out......

Golf shoes help with the frequent slipping from the spray on sunscreen. Better traction on the board too.

As many hand bags as possible. Preferably enough to fill every storage compartment to prevent ballast filling and so that it takes a minimum of 45 minutes to find anything. The fuel savings from not being able to fill ballast and remaining stopped looking for stuff is significant. You won't regret it.

Please bring a giant Yeti cooler loaded down with sodas of all variety and beer. Please make sure your shoes are on when you try and step into the boat with the Yeti cooler that has been in the back of your truck and is covered with all sorts of shit and set it right on the cushions and then place it directly in the middle of the floor.

I love the bring your own yeti folks! Sure you can set that gigantic cooler anywhere you'd like, how about in the driver seat or right in the middle of the aisleway?

Looks like we have a great list of boating essentials for the new boaters...

I also think every boater should have an 80lbs yellow lab with long nails.

Honest question regarding 80# labs with nails......how well does gatorstep handle dog nails?

Keep them trimmed like normal and it'll be fine. We sometimes throw an old bed sheet on the main floor area for extra protection, but we've never had a problem.

If the cooler is full of beer and I knew it was coming then all good. Extra seat and ballast.

Have you been spying on my wife again? (and daughters and mother-in-law and all other females that come within 50 feet of the boat)

Instead of those expensive handbags, we prefer plastic shopping bags. The more holes the better as they dry out faster.

Surfboards prevent ballast from filling too when placed in the rear lockers, they might get a little jacked but it's definitely the best place to keep them. Right David? [emoji1787]

My favorite thing was a jar of pickles and tomatoes complete with a cutting board and knife for cutting both. I didn't see it until it was lunch time and they all came out. Was terrified the jar would drop and break and we would be smelling pickles for the rest of time.
