A swim ladder is important to be able to get back in the boat. It comes in handy both on the hard and in the water.

trailer guides help line up the keel for retrieving the boat on the trailer. They are well worth the money. I also keep my boat fully covered with tarps to keep the sun and leaves off it. I use a silver tarp to reflect the sun.

A spare tire will be much appreciated if you have a flat on the road. I placed it near the bow by the trailer mast support.

Stick on hooks will help keep your gear off the floor. These can also be removed if you later change your mind or want to re-position them. No holes needed.

While wintering, I like to use an extra mast support to help keep the mast from bending due to water or snow building up on the tarp. Although, since I keep my boat in my driveway, I can check on it after each rain or snow storm.

Although too small for adults, the area under the tarp (over the boom) is a nice place for kids to play.
