    What's in your 'Boat Box'?

    My Boat Box is the big plastic box I put in the tow vehicle when we head to the lake. It's meant for short term and emergency service. In it, I keep a quart each of the various boat fluids, battery charger, muffs, lug wrench (the jack goes along separately), gloves, wipes, emergency poncho...
