Ok I know life jackets, boat registration, fire extinguisher. Im I missing anything?

Thanks

Steering Wheel ...............i always check that.

whistle or air horn.

I don't know which state you live in. Every state is different. I believe in Oklahoma you have to have an anchor. Most states require a paddle. Throw cushion. If out after sunset or before sunrise navigational lights. Not required but is a good idea-First aid kit, tool kit, and jumper cables.

something to keep you warm

My son would say, " Food."

You need a throw type flotation device, either a ring type or a USCG approved seat cushion

All the above and depending on which lake, Like Falcon or Amisted, where US Coast guard has jurisdiction. You need a 50ft. rope tyed to the throw devise and must not be wrapped or inside a closed compartment.

reg. card if it has motor

Visual Distress Signals, Anchors and Line, Bright flashlight or searchlight, Sound-producing device, paddle or oar, First Aid Kit, Sunscreen, Small Tools, Communication back to land, and a fish till the boat is full attitude.

so much for the question about what the Law requires.

Go to your local Wal-Mart and pick up a parks and wild life regulations book in the sporting goods section. It will tell you everything you need to know.
