Thanks for the post! I'm new to 'tooning, only been out four or five times total. These are very important points you bring up. When I ordered my boat I ordered the fins with it and really can't imagine going out without them. They are invaluable. It's rarely dead calm and even the slightest breeze will rotate you in the wrong direction or push you away from where you want to be. With the fins I can fish 'hands free'.
I had my PFD before my 'toon came via UPS. Couldn't imagine going out without it. If nothing else the extra pockets are handy for my keys, cell phone, pliers, etc. There are many many economical non-bulky PFD's you can buy and once you get used to it you feel naked without it.
Just a couple thoughts from a guy still learning the ropes.
