I used to ask for crazy stuff from my wife and mom. They bought me a new boat a few months ago that has every conceivable option. My wife says “what do you want for your b day?” I’m like I have a new boat. She still wants to know what to get me. She brought up a Leash for the motor, since the last boat she bought me a leash for it. I dunno.
what are some ideas?
I get a deal on rods and reels, so don’t need those.

Sounds like a "keeper", does she have a sister ? How about a stainless steel spare prop, could save you a lot of headaches on the water !

Wow, you got lucky that your wife actually knows boats and wants to keep you safe! I'd say spare prop (if you don't have one, for outboard and/or trolling motor), trailer steps (if you don't have that), LED interior lights, trailer bunk and frame lights (if you don't have that already) for loading and unloading, or a Ramp N' Clamp.

Maybe a good book?

What does that have to do with boats/boating/fishing?Originally Posted by BigFishSteve
EFX trailer steps maybe.
I was gonna say steps of some sort if your boat doesn’t currently have them. I like the leash idea a lot too. Congrats on finding a keeper. Lol

Spare prop or two...........
I have a spare prop, trick steps, and most all the goodies.
guess I will ask for a leash or a new motor toter.
Maybe I’ll put a bunch of the new Plano Edge 3700’s in my Amazon cart.
thanks for the ideas.
A nice PFD?
I have two new Mustang “Ranger” edition HIT vests.
I have a complete setup for making senko worms.
I sent my wife links for a Leash and a fish obsessed mount for the AT2. I think I’m gonna customize my DD26 motor holder instead of getting a new one.
Sounds like you've already got everything. Let's see some pics of the new ride.
