OK, I bought a 12ft Jon boat ww/ Minn Kota trolling motor about 9 months ago -- good deal -- $125. (Nothing else came with it.)

Now heres what I need, but add to it if you can think of stuff:

Trailer hitch and trailer
Seats
Oars
Life jackets (I have two young sons)
Anchor
Motor and gas tank
Marine battery
Paint (Pretty grubby looking in its current state)


Now, a nearby lake is designated non-gas motors only, so I don't need a motor and gas tank right away, which is good since they're the most expensive items.

On the wish list is marine plywood and carpet planking for a custom finish. Maybe built in compartments for live well, tackle, etc. A Bilge pump would then be in order -- in the mean time, a coffee can should do.

For a boat this size, a fire extinguisher is not required, but I may get one anyway once I get a motor.

What am I missing?
