Don't forget the all important safety equipment......A really good PFD, Visicarbon pro safety flag/light combination, hand bilge pump, basic band aids and a tube of Neosporin, and if you are fishing where larger vessels are present, a portable marine radio clipped to your PFD might come in real handy in a pinch.....

Thank you for the tips. As for the safety equipment I already have a heritage 12' so I am goi with the equipment. I am also wiring a bilge pump inside the pro angler.

The best accessory I've bought is a second steering handle. I have arthritis and it is nice to be able to steer with either hand. Since then I've also added risers to both handles.

Adding a second steering handle on risers is one of the most functional add-ons for the PA 14...but, all 2017 Pro Anglers come standard with dual steering handles on risers.
