Not exactly just for Arima's but I'm curious about what everyone has on their Christmas list this year for their boat/trailer and related? I'm also trying to figure that out for myself. My brother does a $50 limit for presents and am thinking of maybe asking for a West Marine gift card as I can't really think of anything B.O.A.T (Acronym) related that is in the $50 ranger other than safety things like flares/life jackets, of which I already have. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!
Seadek............
Oil, filter, and gear lube for your motor :twocents:
You can never have to many filet knifes and these⬇️ Best braid or mono clippers on the market
Gas card.
I already got my early Christmas gift.....Bait Tank.
I know I'm getting a new reel, picking it up to night on my way home! My girls all ways get me a new flasher a few spoons and a few ling cod jigs, they know they can't go wrong.
yea I don't think you could go wrong with the fishing accessories - jigs, hooks, flashers and so on. A gift card at a good sporting goods store would be great.
I also received my gift early - Bradley Smoker. I'd been meaning to buy one so I finally picked one up and let the bride know Santa made me do it...
My wish list for Christmas, is a new fish finder. Santa know if she doesn't get it for me I will purchase one anyway. So now I'm just waiting till the 25th.
Arima upgrades for the year 2018
1. Fresh water pump upgrade.
2. Connect TR-1 to new GPS on fish finder.
3. Radar
4. Service trailer, bearings and brakes.
5. New seat for drivers side.
Already got one... upgraded tow hitch for Clifford the Big Red Truck (from the dinky 7500# rated factory job to a heavy duty 16,000# rated Curtis... my tin can weight was too close for comfort on the factory hitch).
Kenwood touchscreen stereo/bluetooth/media player upgrade for the tow rig, + a integrated backup camera. My wireless camera is on it's last legs, works about 10% of the time!
Some lightweight Grundens bibs, for summer Tuna! fishing.
Daiwa Lexa 400 casting/jigging reels (for my wife! Her hands are too small to easily operate my Tuna! spinning reels).
Some of those fancy new Danielson crab traps, with the top opening for baiting and removing crabs.
Nice choice on that lexa reel for the wife 3WT
I'm getting iTroll and Shockwave S5 seat suspension system for helm and passenger seats.
Man 3wt you must be really good :applause: That is quite the Santa list!!
Chirp Plotter and radar for the SL 22, but they are on hold until I sell the SR 19....... so time to get going on a few cleanup items.
Bandaid and I did a BOGO upgrade to I Phone 8s for our Christmas and will be adding a GPS map app for boating and hunting. Always good to have a backup
I always start with the premise the wife needs a new pole and reel

You can leave a couple of those on my boat Dbobby!

I got the girlfriend a 7' spinning set up, as she does not find my old school conventional reels easy to operate. I am also making darn sure that she knows it is not detracting from what she is getting for Christmas otherwise. I have no idea how I am going to fit it in her stocking! Hoping she gets me a new steering wheel and boots!
Faria GPS speedometer to replace the pitot tube type installed on the boat. (89.00 @ Cabelas)
I will be stuffing my stocking with a "Santa " gift of a fuel gauge and sending unit (Wema, 79.00 on EBay)
I want one of those. 😟
My "boat-related" list is pretty short:
-Boat
(I do have a little Gregor 12', but that almost doesn't count.)

Sit on Santa's lap and tell him all about that 19 Sea chaser you've been wanting. Who knows, it's worth a try :jester: :shrug9:

Or four sticks of 1 3/4 tubeing to make a radar arch with.

If by silver bullets you mean Coors light I'd like to suggest an upgrade of at least Corona.

My next boat related purchase is paying moorage for halibut season.
:facepalm:
My want won't happen...get rid of the Yamaha 300 and replace it with a pair of Suzi 200's. Fun to dream

Ha!
I think a more realistic plan is to get my dad back into fishing, then we can share the costs (and of course the enjoyment!) of boat ownership. We used to go fishing all the time when I was a kid, but he stopped going when I moved away for college. Time to take Dad fishing again!

Alex, I'm sure your Dad would really enjoy fishing with you again, just like old times!
I am hoping for either a new fishfinder or the materials for a DIY pilothouse.
Everything on my list is boat related. Hoping to get a couple.
The realistic ones: Bibs, Grunden's rubber boots, Penn Senator reel, Ugly stick rod, 20 gallon square garbage can (bleed bucket), bigger boat bumpers, waterproof ditch bag.
The non realistic ones: Radar, EPIRB, rocket launcher radar pad, I-Troll throttle control, EZ steer to connect my motors.
Need to knock them off a little at a time. Could be a while.

Gift certificate at Englunds Marine,
A bunch of bottom fish lures
New blue tooth speaker for boat. Old one won't turn on any more.
I recently had a bad electrical connection which caused all the electronics on my boat to not work. My 13 year old son said, "time for a new boat Dad." Sadly I won't be getting a new boat but I think some starboard paneling might be in order or fishing rods/reels or fishing gear or hydraulic steering or a bait tank or new fish finder or.....
Webasto diesel heater! Trying to stick with the b.o.a.t theme.

Just for the WDFW to open up fishing so I can use my boat more instead of sitting in the garage dry and not getting wet.

Electronic flare thingy.
Spare inflatable life vest for random passengers.
Hollow core needle set (switching to wind-on leaders).
