I know each of us has one item that we want to add to the boat but just cant justify.
In my case being a geek I would love a radar unit. but just cant see a use for it with the type of boating I do.

But it is a nice dream....

Yeah, a radar would be nice. Maybe a deck mounted 50 cal or rocket launcher. :eek: Perhaps on the next boat. :)

the radars that are hooked up to laptops.....that would be sweet. a bit overkill for my boat, but still pretty cool.

I guess my dream item would be a new outboard on the back. Maybe a new 50. Costs 3x as much as I paid for the whole boat & motor and the 40 is running fine now, but the first time out it had its issues.

If we are talking outside repowers, then I'd have to say a fancy fish finder. I have a basic black and white depthfinder. Probably what I WILL get in the Spring.

I would up to the engine to the max hp option of 270 or as an add-on the extended swim platform (but would require a bigger garage).

Edit: Names are fine, pictures are not . . . Sorry - QC

AND the extended swim platform for when we anchor...

If I have a magic wand its going to be a Big Baja with twins and a bottomless fuel tank!
Ditto on the other boaters except the one's with me. :D

Re: Whats the One dream item you would add to your boat?

Hehe for me it would simply be a new boat!!! (and I'm not talking crazy or mega yacht or anything)...

I have had it with the old POS's I have been using for the last 15 years...

I simply want an 18', brand spanking new, Quality brand, flats boat, with a 115hp Yamaha SW...

Its not like its a fortune... (maybe 35k all told), but something I will probably never be able to afford unless I win some serious money...

If I can't vote for the boat itself, then a repower for my current boat... it's using a 1977 70HP evinrude, with no PTT... I would opt for a brand spanking new Yahama 75 with PTT... oh I would be in heaven then!

If I cant opt for a repower, then I guess it would be a sound system.... it might be in the budget next year...


/edit - A pirate's chest full of real gold dabloons would be perfect! LOL then I could get everything I want! :D
