tournament load ups arent much different than any other fishing trip. bring everything that is required by the tournament. bring a good scale and a good measuring board. i would recommend bringing an extra bag of ice and also livewell additive, if a fish is acting up in the wells just add a cap of the additive and pour some ice in as well. i like to keep a first aid kit and a tool kit in the boat as well. prepare for the worst, it seems like the worst things happen during tournaments.

I would look into GMAN trolling motor CABLE on Amazon. It's not a rope. It won't break and it's $25. Once your on the water and you break a rope you'll be getting one your so mad.

TPWD lists, for Class 1 boats(16 to 26'), the following. Title, registration numbers, one type 1,II,III or V wearable flotation device per occupant, one additional type IV throwable device on board. Fire extinguisher- one type B-1, sound producing device(whistle or horn) and lights. Most of you are seasoned boaters and know these but I thought it was worth a mention.
