[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3773727, member: 14646"] Didn't read all of the post but here is my .02 pesos worth. With the plug, as opposed to what others have said, insert the plug from the inside of the boat. Get some 550 cord and tie it to the plug "T" that you twist to tighten it and then tie the other end to the outboard bracket so it doesn't get lost. Then buy a second and third plug. One to keep in a compartment in the boat and a third to keep in your trucks glove box. For life vests I'd buy two auto/manual inflatable vest and the rest standard type. They wear better and more comfortable and some have lights built in to help rescuers find you floating in the water at night. I'd also invest in a nice waterproof backpack or rolltop duffle to keep survival supplies in it and an extra change of clothing and windbreaker or light jacket. Make sure you buy a good portable external battery pack and appropriate charging cord for your model phone to be able to charge your cell phone if you get lost or stranded. Never want your phone to die on you if you are in trouble. Lastly, since it is a jon boat, many have open space in under the front, middle and rear bench seats that you can use spray foam to fully inject into those spaces to keep your boat floating even if fully swamped. This could literally be a lifesaver. [/QUOTE]
