Odds and Ends. Stuff that I need on my boat

Exile Audio bumper balls are only available online (or a couple select parts/dealer stores). Nothing local in Temple or the State of Texas for that matter. They are about $18-$20 a piece or you can just go to Dollar General and rock out some Hello Kitty pink Hippity Hops, my buddy does on his MB.

I saw some teenage mutant ninja turtles hippity hops at kohls and if I did not have my exiles I would have grabbed them I think they were under $10. I have opened the hippity hops up in the store and they seem to be identical to the exiles.

Just got the exiles-awesome. Have them on bungee ropes (a 6 for the rear and 5 for the front), hang just right attached to the surfboard rack for pickup/dropoff from the dock (thanks AAJ). Added a small aircompressor (from Harbor Freight) that runs on 12v cigarette outlet. Should have the small box anchor, shore spike, floating knife and raisde 3d domed boat letters this week! Almost 'there'

Reading back to the first post ... definitely no bread ties! Why on earth would you want a fixed bikini top? Broken sounds good to me! Add to the list 2 paint can openers and an 8mm wrench ... perfect impeller puller! Also handy to have is a throwable float on a rope.

Two additions to the Axis.
One is a cosmetic change and the other is a must-have here in Alabama.

Extra binding screws/parts
flashlight
lighter (frayed rope ends)
Spare quart of oil

Haha. You definitely learn quickly to put a mask on the boat after your first run in with a rope around the prop. I have had two run-ins with the rope around the prop and my buddy has had one. The mask is a must have in my opinion.

^This. Had my first run in yesterday...was exhausted after my wakeboard set and just wasn't paying attention. I usually pull in the rope as soon as I climb back in the boat. The boat floated over the rope and of course it got hung up as we tried to correct it. Luckily it wasn't hung up too bad and we were able to swim under a little bit to free the line.

Definitely buying a mask and floating knife today.

I haven't had to do this, but the swim deck does float and removing it makes untangling the rope much easier.

Would that be all years of platforms would float? I've only had it off once and it didn't seem like it would float.
