Re: New boat owner: Critique my shopping list

I agree on the 8" finders, also if the boat doesnt have midship cleats, and extra cleats for the finders. The pop-up type are nice, but takes a little more to install.

No fishing gear on the list!!! :jaw::fish::bounce:

Anchor line - Amazon.com: 1/2 X 200 Nylon Anchor Line with Heavy Duty Galvanized Thimble: Sports & Outdoors

How deep are the area's that you'll be boating? It's recommended to have a 7-1 scope for your anchor line, so in 30' of water would need to have 210' of anchor line out, to hold the boat in rough condition without the anchor pulling.
