itch, if you have black on your hull, the vinegar/dist water is a must!
Other than that, you should be good with your list. If you are going to big water, a flare gun and VHF are also handy in case of emergency.

A money laundering facility would be ultra-useful.
Glad to hear you got into a new boat! That boat's going to throw an amazing wake, the fun will never end...

That's funny. I check my running gear after almost every set I take, to clear them of weeds and junk. We ride in some WEEDY places.
Accessories I have found very valuable have been:
1- whatever you need to satisfy your state CG laws
2-at least 3, and preferably 4, bumpers
3- A good carnuba based wax like Trewax
4- 1 gallon of Babes Boot Butter
5- 1 gallon of Babes Boat Brite
6- I gallon of Babes Seat Soap
7- 303
8- at least 6 microfibre clothes, color coded so you know which ones are for the vinyle, and which ones are for the gel
9- A chamy
10- Diamond-grit ultra-fine rubbing compound
11- 3 terry towel clothes
12- at least 3 fifteen to 25 foot dock lines
13- A trailer lock hitch lock
14- Wheel lock for the trailer
15- Trailer tie downs with padding where the tie-down touches the gelcoat
16- spare impellar

If it's a new boat the dealer should be supplying the CG kit.
Jackets, oar, fire extinguisher ... ...
Find out what is already supplied by the dealer. Then work from there.

| Boat hook. Telescoping pole with a hook on the end for fishing things out of the water, pulling your boat to a dock,etc. You can get one with interchangable heads so you have a pole with a hook, a paddle or a brush on the end.

The picture shows boards on racks but you are not at water - do you intend driving there with your valuable boards held on with just a bungie cord or is that for the camera?

Some vinyle people say not to use fantastic. They say it rots the stitching and degrades the UV protection. I don't know though....

Cameraboy, those people are incorrect.
Fantastic is great, its one of the only cleaners that wont dry out the vinyl. Anything like simple green or 409 however may (in my personal experience WILL) rip out the seams.
Furthermore, its one of the few products actually recommended by the boat manufactures. I don't know about Malibu's supplier of vinyl, but CC's also says to use Fantastic to clean.
Itch, that boat looks great! By far the best one I've seen. Everyone else has seemingly got everything that you need for it.
Congrats!

You should see this lake, it is fairly shallow, but there is not a single square inch that doesn't have weeds all the way to the surface.
The problem is, you get weeds wrapped up going forward, then when you reverse to get the weeds off, it starts wrapping more around in reverse, so it's a never ending cycle. But that is the price you pay for glass at 3PM on a saturday.
