Just wondering what kind of bags people use for their "boat bags", as in a bag that you would keep your registration/keys/manuals, maybe some tools, cigars/cutter, anything that you can think of. Also wondering what people consider essentials to take out for the day excluding the flares and fire extinguisher and all of that jazz.

I saw a guy with a small pelican case and thought that it would be cool, but i'm thinking the small one is too small and the larger one would be too bulky.

Thanks!

I use a plastic sealable tote for my essentials. Registration(in a small zip lock), flare gun and flares, first aid kit, small tools, sharp knife, zip ties, Electrical tape, garbage bags, bottle openers, phone charger, . ,,,, I think that's a lot of what I have besides a towrope extra towels and hoodies. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I think that's most of it for me anyways

I highly recommend a utility knife with the hooked end razor blades (often used for cutting shingles) just in case something wraps the impeller. If our lake level gets really low the weeds love to wind around the impeller shaft, and the hooked razor slices through them instantly without potentially scratching anything up (as opposed to tugging and tearing with bare hands or even slicing away with a straight razor).
