A couple of things I wish I had or really apppreciate having are:

1. An automatic inflating life vest

2. an aluminum, dis-assembling anchor

3. foldable cup holders for mounting along the inner liner at the gunnels or by the front buld head.

4. A red light flash light or red under gunnel indirect lighting for night fishing. The red light doesn't hurt your night vision.

5. More money, but definately a worhtwhile investment is an electric anchor windlass

6. a fishing tackle type box with a set of tools- sockets, screw drivers, wrenchs and a rachet drive and bits.

7. a handheld bearing compass

8. a holder of some type for holding fenders

9. A hand held VHF, if you don't already have one

10. A compact VOM/ multi-meter for your onbard tool box.

Just a list of what I either have or wish I did. Good luck with "Santa in a two piece!"
