your going to need at least 2 up to date fire extinguishers
a horn or whistle
up to date flares, hand held and gun type
make sure your blower and bilge pumps work
a throwable cushion
life vests for everyone of your boat

that should get you legal.

As far as launching your options are New Buffalo, Michigan City or Portage

Michigan City area law is usually out in force. Watch the boozin. We have the following law that is usually present.

USCG
DNR
Michigan City Police
Long Beach Police
La Porte County Police

The coast guard and DNR are the ball busters, the rest normally mess with PWC's
