Newbie with New R-23 - Looking for Recommended Stuff

[austingwatson]

Now that we are about to take possession of our new R-23, named SCUFFY, Now we need stuff so I’m asking the group what stuff works well.
1) what stuff do i need? here’s my generic guess list...
2) dinghy with electric motor or with oars
3) kayak
4) dishes and cookwear
5) outside rail BBQ
6) grasping hook, extra lines, extra bumpers
8) bedding for two
9) emergency kit, first aid kit, spares kit, tool, kit
10) binoculars
11) foul weather gear (i plan to boat all year)
that’s enough for now...
hope to hear from some of you about what works well for you.

thx,
austin :shock:
