Holiday boat gift thread

[strad]

^^lol.

Sometime this winter the manifolds are coming off. So they are for sure getting a new paint job, and depending on how bad the inside looks might get new manifolds. Ahh the joys of owning a 29-year-old boat! At least it runs well and looks good -- could be worse lol. Also will be fixing the nav lights at some point (rear doesn't work) and probably replacing the fuel level sender.

I'm seriously thinking about sending myself to ski camp next summer. . . other than that, not much boat-related. I just buy things as/when needed pretty much.

My wife got my Christmas list and she said, "All I see on here is boat stuff!" Well, yeah... I had to add some clothes in the mix to make her family feel a little better about what they get me.

I just got the first part of my Christmas Present. Thanks to Memo, I bought his ballast bags he no longer needed, which came in the original plastic and box, so they really look new. Other things include, but not limited to:

new rollers for the trailer
depth finder
wake board rope
Stainless cup holders
shift knob
303 Aerospace protectant

My girlfriend thinks she is getting a ring for Christmas. She is NOT! That will probably end our relationship.....

So, I am gifting myself all new chrome hardware for my 1954 Chris Craft restoration project

Pretty sure that if I had a wife or ex wife and they told me "I better NOT", I am positive the ignore light would be on. (Oh I did not hear you, or understand fully.....sorry)

When I was 7 (2nd grade?) I was skiing on a slalom ski, playing baseball, and football. I think a wakeboard is a totally appropriate gift for a young man.


The problem with women these days is that none of them want their kids to get hurt or just be boys. So the kids sit in front of a stupid video game and never learn a damn thing. Boys should be boys.

Get him the wakeboard and tell her that she can buy the helmet.

Sounds like a great idea.


Then when she runs away you can save money for 30-90 days and she will be begging you back. Durring the 3 months of freedom you can buy more items for the irreplaceable boat.

Couple pics.... One at the end of this summer, and one from the other day in it's current state.... Lots of sanding in my future
