I just got a boat last month and we finally took it out to the pudd last weekend. Here is a video of our trip. Watch the video and give me some ideas on what to add or do to the boat.

Safety amigos !!!
Rule #1 jackets all times ...not anyone's mommy/daddy but way too many accidents
Happen more than u think. Every lake and even 2funerals in 20 years of boating with my
Boat group wasn't fun..
Cheap gear: I use supersoaker cannon from Costco $10 as bilge, and old brake rotors as anchors!
Tons of rope from harbor freight. Batt powered boat lights from Walmart
Be willing to part with anything not tied down if u fliP over. I tie down motors/batt.
Hey it's bug season! 10 hoops per boat and go get them !
Hit me anytime. We 626/818. Divers/Yaks and mini-boats my group.

We had life jackets in the boat. As for rotors there a dime a dozen at my work. But the boat came with an anchor. I was thinking of taking out the taller seats and make the beaches into storage.

Nice little fishing boat! I'm excited for you guys because I've been there with a couple boats in the past. What size is that outboard? Here's a website that specialized in aluminum boat stuff. Lots of pics to give you guys ideas..

Clarification: Hand launch ranch is currently out of the water until March, you could still launch if you're willing to carry your small boat over the rocks small opening to the sand. They craned it out of the water for fear of High tides.
For bigger boats on trailer, there is a hoist on the left side about $40 crane your boat into the water; but you have to be on their hours before they close. Or you will be stuck driving to Cabrillo or MDR to retrieve out of the water.
Long Beach x2/MDR : 24hr access
Cabrilllo: parking lot locked n closes @ 10pm. Cannot leave or exit till
They reopen 6am if u get locked in.
