Hey Marcus! It's DJ, I just finally put 2 and 2 together with the kids pic, the rendering, YL, and dirtbag. LOL
The list looks pretty good. I think we had pretty much everything on the list on board. I don't think I saw beach toys for the kids, a volleyball, and a football. It's important to keep the kids busy when hanging on the beach up river.
I also kept a few carabiners/snap hooks. Use these with your anchor line to just hook on the bow eye or rear instead of hanging over the front trying to tie the line.
You're gonna love the Shockwave!

Oh, almost forgot. A waterproof "ditch bag" for all of the important stuff like keys, wallet, cell phones. Puts everything in one place so you only have to grab one thing in an emergency, you know, besides the kids and wife.

I saw spikes and box anchors on the first page (we use a Fortress, but I would prefer a box), did anyone list a short line and rubber duck or buoy or something like that for the submerged spike? A fender works too.

waters, that maintain a coast guard certificate of
inspection and that are being operated by United
States coast guard licensed pilots within a distance of
one-fourth mile from the nearest shore as a means of
transporting passengers and when the duration of time
the vessel is underway on the water does not exceed ten
minutes.
5-332. Fire extinguishers
A. All watercraft, unless exempted by the commission,
carrying as fuel any volatile liquid having a flash
point of one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit or less
shall have aboard a readily accessible United States
coast guard approved fire extinguisher in a condition
available for immediate and effective use.
B. All watercraft over twenty-six feet in length and
carrying as fuel any volatile liquid having a flash point
of one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit or less shall
have aboard such fire extinguishers as may be prescribed
or approved by the regulations of the United
States coast guard.
5-333. Classification of watercraft; lights
A. Watercraft subject to the provisions of this chapter
shall be divided into four classes as follows:
1. Class A. Less than sixteen feet in length.
2. Class 1. Sixteen feet or over and less than

when underway and, during such time, no other lights
which may be mistaken for those prescribed shall be
exhibited:
1. Every motorboat of classes A and 1 shall carry
the following lights:
(a) A bright white light aft to show all around
the horizon.
(b) A combined light in the fore part of the
watercraft and lower than the white light aft,
showing green to starboard and red to port, so fixed
as to throw the light from right ahead to two points
(22 ??) abaft the beam on their respective sides.
2. Every motorboat of classes 2 and 3 shall carry
the following lights:
(a) A bright white light in the fore part of the
watercraft as near the stem as practicable, so
constructed as to show the unbroken light over an
arc of the horizon of twenty points (225?) of the
compass, so fixed as to throw the light ten points
(112 ??) on each side of the watercraft, namely,
from right ahead to two points (22 ??) abaft the
beam on either side.
(b) A bright white light aft, mounted higher
than the white light forward, to show all around
the horizon.
(c) On the starboard side a green light so constructed
as to show an unbroken light over an arc
of the horizon of ten points (112 ??) of the compass,
so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to
two points (22 ??) abaft the beam on the starboard
side. On the port side a red light so constructed as
to show an unbroken light over an arc of the
horizon of ten points (112 ??) of the compass, so
fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to two
points (22 ??) abaft the beam on the port side. The
side lights shall be fitted with inboard screens so
set as to prevent these lights from being seen

sail alone shall exhibit the combined light prescribed
by paragraph 1 of this subsection and a twelve point
(135?) white light aft. Motorboats of classes 2 and 3,

lights, suitably screened as prescribed by paragraph
2 of this subsection and a twelve point (135?) white
light aft.

distance of at least two miles. Every colored light
prescribed by this section shall be of such character
as to be visible at a distance of at least one mile. The

atmosphere.
5. When propelled by sail and machinery, every
motorboat shall carry the lights required by this
section for a motorboat propelled by machinery only.
6. All other watercraft over sixty-five feet in
length and those propelled solely by wind effect on
the sail shall display lights prescribed by the federal
regulations.
C. Manually propelled watercraft shall carry, ready
at hand, a lantern or flashlight showing a white light
which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to avert
collision. Manually propelled watercraft used on the
waters of this state where power driven watercraft are
prohibited are exempt from the provisions of this section.
D. Any watercraft may carry and exhibit the lights
required by the international rules of the road as
adopted by the federal regulations for preventing collisions
at sea, 1960, federal act of September 24, 1963,
(33 USC 1051-1053 and 1061-1064) as amended, in lieu
of the lights required by subsection B of this section.

special anchorage area, shall, from sunset to sunrise,
carry and display a steady white light visible all around
the horizon for a distance of no less than two miles.

or type unless it is either an authorized law enforcement
watercraft of the federal, state or local government
actually engaged in the enforcement of this
chapter or an emergency watercraft.
5-334. Flame arrestor
All watercraft using gasoline as fuel, except outboard
motors, shall attach to the carburetor or carburetors a
backfire flame arrestor that is approved for marine use
and suitably secured to the air intake with flame tight
connections, or any attachment to the carburetor or the
engine air induction system by means of which flames
caused by engine backfire will be dispersed to the
atmosphere outside the watercraft in such a manner
that the flames will not endanger the watercraft, persons
on board or nearby watercraft and structures. All
attachments shall be of a metallic construction with
flame tight connections and firmly secured to withstand
vibration, shock and engine backfire.
5-335. Ventilation
A. All watercraft, except open boats, using as fuel
any liquid of a volatile nature shall be provided with
such means for properly and efficiently ventilating the
bilges of the engine and fuel tank compartments so as
to remove any explosive or flammable gases.
B. The regulations for ventilation shall be as prescribed
by the United States coast guard or as otherwise
provided by the commission.
5-336. Muffling devices
A. Every motor driven watercraft shall at all times
be equipped with effective equipment, in good working
order and in constant operation, to prevent excessive or
unusual noise except as provided in subsection C.
B. It is not the intent of this section to prohibit the
use of any type of exhaust system or exhaust device,
including those systems and devices which do not
discharge water with the exhaust gases, if such system
or device complies with subsection A of this section.
C. All watercraft actually competing in a regatta,
boat race or official trials for speed records, and within
the time limits authorized by the sanctioning body of
such event are exempt from this section. Permits designating
place and time limits are required and shall be
issued by the department prior to the testing of watercraft
on the water when sufficient evidence is provided

Mesh laundry bag with drawstring .
We have everyone put there slippers in the bag. Everyone rinses their slippers in the water before getting on board. Mesh bag allows them to dry easily.

Thanks! I think it makes the boat look brand new again. Some minor fit and finish issues but that is on the Gator Step end, not on Shockwave. Bob said the Gator Step guy is going to the river next week to take a look at it and take the measurements to get it right. But all in all, we really like the look. I forgot to take pictures of it when I picked it up, but next time I go to the river and if I remember, I will take pics and post them up in a new thread.
Edit: My wife took pictures of the flooring and sent them to me... I'll post a new thread now with the pics that I have
