It's a great lesson in how important it is to remember the safety things.. (Amazing how much water can come through that little hole in so short a time, isn't it)?  BTW, I've never seen it mentioned, but speaking about the drain hole, a great tip is if you see that there's a lot of water in your bilge from not putting the plug in, and you're out on the water and not at the dock, throw your motor into forward gear and get up on plane in a hurry.. the speed of the boat thru the water creates a vacuum that acts like a syphon and actually pulls the water back out through the drain hole.. It's like a last line of defense bilge pump, but it gets the water out in a hurry. Obviously, once the water's out put the plug in.

Get a Orange Amo box put all safety equipment in it and leave in boat at all times.
If you don't have the trailer hitch you won't have to worry about the boat! Any how once you get set up most will be on there all the time any way. One thing I did not see was a First Aid kit?? Also a nice clean pair of cutting pliers in with that kit. When some one drives a hook thur there hand (and they will) nothing like a nice pair of rust free pliers that can cut the hook for easy removal! I also add some gauze, tape, and wrap for any large cuts that a band aid will be to small for.

Two other things I always have on the boat are sunscreen and a balnket. It always seeems someone is either getting roasted or is suddenly chilled.

TWO working VHF radios.. one mounted and the other a handheld, sealed in a waterproof plastic bag. (you can buy them made just for handhelds)
A CB radio isn't a bad idea either.. you'd be surprised at how many people use CB on the water.. And if you really want to spend money on something that hopefully you'll never use, buy an EPIRB. If you think back a month or so ago about that 16 year old girl that was sailing around the world and got into trouble.. the way they found her was by her EPIRB. They are a pretty good thing to have in case the unthinkable happens.

(And before you start disagreeing with me... consider this: They play in New Jersey as their home stadium. That stadium complex is home to both the New Jersey Jets and the New Jersey Giants, and until the new arena was built in Newark the complex also housed the New Jersey Devils and the New Jersey Nets. The stadium is located in the meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey. More season ticket holders to the New JERSEY Jets live in New Jersey than in New York. More non-season customers live in ..... you guessed it... New Jersey, than New York. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not putting down New York.. it's a great place to visit and I have several friends that live there... It's just that New Yorkers seem to live under this misconception that looking westward there is Manhatten, an ultra tiny strip of land not worth mentioning, and then the Pacific ocean. There's a whole country west of Manhatten Charlie... Honest there is... Cross one of the tunnels or bridges and come visit... New Jersey and you... Perfect together!!)

I second the drop the hammer and siphon the water out cure for forgetting the plug. It happened to a friend and myself not to long ago (his boat) and while he was on plane I put a plug in on the inside of the boat. We laugh now about it but when your boat is filling with water it can be a hairy situation. I personally carry a plug in my transom compartment, cabin, tackle box and the center console of my truck(cheap insurance)....
