Add a bbq grill to the front deck. Add brackets so that I can store my ladder under my deck. Maybe purchase a MP3 player. First is mandatory according to my wife.

No, we want/need something bigger. It will be mounted on the front deck that we added to our boat. The first picture is our grill from our previous boat. The grill we are adding will be a little smaller than this one and will be mounted on the starboard side of the deck in the second picture. The grill will be able lowered so that it will be somewhat out of the way and then raised for use.

Holy crap, you guys are not messing around!! I proposed gettin a nice standalone grill like that for our boat but the wife veto'd the decision as she didnt want out 18 month old daugheter burning herself on it...

Our daughter was a couple of years older than that when we got our first boat which also had a "regular" grill mounted on the front. We never had any problems with anyone getting burned.

Forgot that I also want to get a flagpole mounted so I can fly my flag like on my old boat.

Hi Pop24,

I got it here, came in quick and seems like a great option if you dont need a huge grilling surface!

I hope to get a lot of use this year out of my boat.
The last two years they have drained the
lake trying to kill all the vegitation in the
lake. So we had a very short season. Last
year I got some dredging done and a
boathouse started and a seawall built.
This year I plan on getting a roof,
and lift installed in the boat house and
a lot of boating done.
That will not leave a lot of time or money
or doing a lot to the boat.

Adding a Electric Anchor, Yeasu FT-450 with a Tarheal Ant. Already have the Folding Boarding ladder, BBQ grill and XM Radio. I'm sure there will be more things added later.
