    Good start but remember I have a twin engine boat and all the things I said Nope to were great ideas but not absolutely necessary for me because I could limp in on one motor.

    The tools I want need to be... absolutely necessary must have items.

    Your knife although basic in thought IS A HUGE MUST HAVE why because if you get fishing line caught up on props or kelp you need to get the job done. One that floats would be bad azz and had a lanyard so if your cutting away stuff if it slipped out of your hand and end up at the bottom of who knows were your SOL.

    That is why this crescent wrench put up by Jerry is bad azz it provides redundant tools for you just in case you need another knife or thingama jig.

    Keep thinking its a great start.

    I want a great light...but don't know if flashlight or small spot light is better. I bought a Energizer head lamp that works bitchin in the boat. I used it at night to put the cockpit cover on. Lets you use both hands and is LED puts out tons of light.

    I don't care about your boat, you asked what I had

    Those are the basics, can't remember everything that's in there, but I'll tell you what John... It's the same toolkit (with a few enhancements, and replacements) that I've had for the last 24 years of boating, so I'll go ahead and stick with it it's done me good for a long time.

    I do like the multi tool dealio though, might have to add that.
