Boat Xmas list

itch · Posted: Oct 26, 2005 4:32 pm Post subject: Boat Xmas list

So I thought this would be a good thread.

My family has been asking for a xmas and birthday list, so I thought I would turn to you all for help.
Just some back ground first year boat owner
05 v-ride it is basic tower no wedge it has ballast and we also already own enough fat sacs.
I am looking for affordable ideas to ask for.
Board racks and speakers are in the works but to expensive to ask for.
I was thinking
orbital buffer
small shop vac
Navi light to mount on top of tower
gas cans
Bumpers

Any other ideas???????

For small stuff...

-Coast Gaurd kit
-Big hand light
-Tool kit
-Guide pole covers (If you don't already have them)
-Ropes and handles (Maybe a surf rope?)

Just a couple ideas of what I keep in my boat...

rope and handle came to mind first
wakeskates aren't too expensive
toolkit for the boat
binding lube holder for transom
spare tire for trailer
nice dock lines (you can have your name / reg number / etc sewn into some)
new anchor w/ chain and rope
babe's boat care kit
marine binoculars
Q-beam

I'd rather have one good odd size vest, xxl, small, teen, whatever you do not have. I have lots of cheap vests that now sit in the garage.

if you go at night at all or close to dark, go for a few LED lights to put around.

I'd add a hand pump for the gas cans. No spillage

Separate tool kit specific for your boat. Small enough box to store in a compartment, but with enough of the right tools to get yourself out of trouble.

Or a small tool box +...

You don't need a hand pump, just a piece of vinyl tubing. One end in gas can, other in tank. Put your hand/rag around the tubing going into the can, then SQUEEZE the can, physics will do the rest.
