I need to 'outfit' my Malibu Stealth 14
I've read a bunch of tips and tricks on here all over the place. Looking for specific opinions on equipment in this thread?

Here's what I've already got:
Seat
Bait tank pump kit
Paddle

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking I need or pretty much have to have. Tell me what brand, model or type I should get specifically...please. See, I'm kind of a simple guy and I don't want to try and re-invent the wheel; I'd rather just copy what you guys are already doing as far as set-up goes. Keep in mind I'm on a bit of a budget so throw 'realistic' suggestions at me please. Thanks in advance!

Life jacket
Fish Finder
Fish Finder mount (besides X-wing)
Battery(s) - (1 for fish finder and 1 for bait tank) (do I need 2?)
Ice chest - (which one fits perfectly in the molded space at rear?)
Storage crate - (which one fits perfectly in the molded space at rear?)
Anchor
Net
Gaff
Measuring instrument that rivets or screws to the boat

Is their anything I'm missing that you think I should have or have to have?

Thanks again!
