My family is badgering me to provide them with a list of boat related things I'd like for Christmas. Last summer I remember saying "I have to remember to ask for one of these " but I've managed to forget all those things. My mind is Blank!

I know I don't need :
Dock lines
Drink holders
Bumpers
Waxes
Cleaners
Life jackets
First aid kits
fire extinguishers
charts

Anyone got anything I could put on the list otherwise I get coal !!! ed

The Swipe's gift pack is a good idea. If you've never tried there stuff, you should.
The is a thread in the racers milling area on the gift pack.
Freeze frame video's are great as well. A subscription to Hot Boat, Powerboat, Extreme Boats, etc

What about a Captain's Log?

Every season when I put the boat away I remember all the great runs with all of the great people and I wish that I had kept a log.

Or a Chapman's Cruising Guide?

Seeing your location, you could get a Chapman's for Lake Erie.

How much money do we get to play with ?

Case of oil filters
Cases of oil
drive temp gauge(s)
Fattowels
gas card
a paid slip at your favorite marina (for a weekend or a year depending on the $$ limit )
bar tab
DVD's (boats or porn)
booster pak
Box Anchor
Swipes (definetly good stuff!)

Fund Razor ; I have the Lakeland Boating book for Lk Erie and St Clair. simlilar to Chapmans.
Addiction - I like the Box Anchor suggestion. How well do they work in soft bottoms with some weeds ?
Trying to keep the cost under $50. But they could do a group buy !!!!
Keep it up !!!

How about a nice framed photo of your boat?

Why certainly Brandon.
I will send you a nice framed photo of my boat. please PM me a shipping address and specify oak or cherry. Nice of you to ask for one.

I was gonna get you a Sooners Hawaiian shirt, but a photo of my boat is fine too.

My brother in law has a 31 Sonic and it holds very well in the sandy/muddy bottoms that we frequent. I like the idea that it folds up and uses no chain!!
