What holiday surprise would you like to see under your tree this season?? I have been fixing up my boat for over a year and can't wait for the first of the year when I get my new motor on her. My next toy after that will be a new gps/chartplotter, and after that who knows!! :D <br /><br />Have a safe and happy holiday season!<br /><br />baddawg

My wife's getting a saphire bracelet to make up for all the boat & boat stuff I got last summer.<br />I still come out ahead no matter how you look at it.

Re: What boat toy is Santa bringing you???

I have a Garmin on order, its my gift from the better half. She is paying, but had no idea what to look for, all she knew was I wanted a small hand-held GPS for boating and other out-doorsy action. My gift to myself will be a bow mount electric trolling motor with foot controls, but I will buy that with the tax refund...

I mailed Santa a letter and asked for only one simple thing.. a new Honda BF225. I wonder if he will get my letter in time......... Maybe I should ask my banker also........

A new compound miter saw, so I can finish up the remodeling projects by spring, which will create more boat time when the weather gets warm.

I am wanting a couple more baitcasting reels with rods and a light actions spinning reel and rod. Anything else to do with the boat would be great, too.

Gee, How about ........A Jimmy Houston CHIA PET.<br /><br />After parting with most of my lute for the new boat, not a whole lot left to buy many presents. I have agreed to make this my Christmas and birthday present for the next 10 years. However, Santa may be so kind to leave some mooring ropes and docking bumbers.<br /><br />Kevin

Re: What boat toy is Santa bringing you???

I'm hoping that Santa will leave a gift certificate for a boat lift come spring :cool: I hate to see my boat spend another summer tied to the dock instead of on a lift. <br /><br />Thought I had a line on a used one 3 houses down, but dang it all, rated capcity was exactly equal to boat weight plus fuel & gear... :( decided not to risk it<br /><br />Merry XMas!

I hope the big guy leaeves me a nice honda four stroke 20 hp outboard. My favorite lake is restricted to 20 hp. So as it is now I have to putt around in the 14 footer with a tiny 5 horse merc tiller and keep my rudy tilted up out of the water.

Ah yes... Good ol' Santa! :D <br /><br />I've been looking at a Garmin GPS 76S but I think I'm going to ask for an Unlimited Towing Policy ($99) from Boat U.S! Sounds like a great thing to have aboard. ;)

Re: What boat toy is Santa bringing you???

I've heard there's a VHF in the pipeline. My sister, who's been into boating far longer than I, insists I have one. :) <br /> <br />Also swapping my '02 40HP Classic Merc for an '04 90HP Classic. That one's coming out of my paper route money. ;) Won't hafta head downwind to get up on plane anymore. :D <br /><br />Gonna be a happy guy when the ice goes out.<br />Bob
