What items should I keep on my pontoon boat?

I just bought my first boat - a 24 foot pontoon. I am putting together a list of items I should store on board, and I would like to know your ideas. So far I have - Life Jackets and Flotation Devices, Back up Battery pack, Gas can, Oil, Tools, 1st Aid Kit, 2 gallons of water, some rags, playing cards, Antibacterial soap, a blanket and some spare towels, bug spray, a flashlight, biodegradable tp (we have a potty) and some ponchos. Did I miss anything?
The boat actually came with Flare gun, whistle, and fire extinguisher, so we already have those.


Got a name for the boat? no rush, if you don't already have something in mind, wait until she reveals her personality.

Sun screen.
Couple or three dock lines and a tow rope.
Spare sunglasses, plus a couple extras for guests.

Spare fuses.
Spare primer bulb, fuel hose and clamps. And zip ties.
Spare spark plugs.
Electrical wire and connectors, crimper and wire stripper.

Anchor, chain and plenty of anchor line, and learn how to use 'em. (it's not difficult but seriously, read up on it...you'll be glad you did next time the motor won't start and the wind is pushing you into the riprap).

The ponchos are good for emergency back-up, but get yourself a good set of foul weather gear -- as captain you'll be out in the rain fixing whatever's broke while your guests are huddled under their ponchos. Trust me on this.

The whistle is a good back-up sound signalling device, but if the boat doesn't have a horn I'd add one of those aerosol air horns.

Snack bars (try to remember to rotate 'em out).

Couple or three cheap zebco spincast rods and some small jigs, in case small children come aboard they may want to do some fishing.

Dang, almost forgot........DUCK TAPE!!
