2. Ballast pump
3. cobra locks
4. VEVE guides and pads
5. CE smith led lights for VEVE guides
6. Elite 4 fish finder / GPS / Chartplotter
7. Keel Guard
8. New head unit
9. transom remote
10. Head closet mod material
11.Chariot warbird 3 person tube
12. 4 person rope
13. Tako inland surfer board
14. Surf rope
15.Bigger air pump.
16. New life jackets for the wife and daughters

I think that is about it....Gee wiz!! :confused:

My first year with my boat was brutal on the checking account. I've sure you've seen my "list".

This is year two for me and since I spent almost everything last year the wife has put a close eye on me. Things showing up at the door in boxes gets me a big trouble now.

I try to spread it out and have this conversation each year.

My wife says: I thought you said we were not going to have to buy that stuff again.
Me: We didn't, it's different things we needed.
Her: Oh... Well is that it?
Me: Well for this year, I guess.
Her: Are we going to have to get anything else next year?
Me: Welll uhhh, maybe ;)
