  • Wood Files
  • Protractor
  • Small label maker
  • Small butane torch
  • Knee pads
  • Stuffing box wrench x 2
  • New soldering gun

NEEDED, BUT CAN WAIT UNTIL I GET THE BOAT
  • Bosun chair or mast climber
  • Quality Oil filter wrench
  • Small fluid transfer pump, (I hear a turkey baster works very well).
  • Small vise.
  • Stand alone plug in drill for the heavy duty jobs
HAVE
  • Vice Grips, one big, one small one with long nose.
  • C Clamps.
  • Good Screwdriver/Multi driver set

  • Small vise.
  • Hacksaw, small handsaw, and coping saw.
