I buy mine at Home Depot or Lowes. It's a fire-hose kind of fitting. Lots of rubber casing, soft on the deck. You rotate the head to regulate the water flow. I add a plastic on/off valve in front of it so that I can use that to turn on/off the hose.

Rod safety straps that are retractable like those doohickeys you see on phone lines sometimes- I hate it when the safety straps are laying around everywhere and get all tangled.

Needles with pre-attached floss/stitches (like surgical stitches) for sewing baits- threading the eye of a needle on a rocking boat with slimey hands stinks.

A touch-screen handheld gps chartplotter that is also vhf and sat phone (think iPhone for boats).

Black aluminum sleeve crimps.

DoubleD you can get the hose nozzle at wall mart.Look in the lawn section and they have one called the firemans nozzle.Its plastic and hard rubber and works well.You simply turn the head on the nozzle and it spray comes out like a fire hose.They cost about 12 bucks..

Lets all pitch in a put our own rig in the ground some where. Fund our own oil rig,We are all Prospecters.
We could ban together tons of money set up the rig, sell off the black gold, then everyone involed could recieve a piece of the profits to reduce the cost of a gallon.

This is interesting, I have always wondered why boats do not for one have deep cup holders in place with a simple drain in the bottom. 20 ounce wawa coffee's just fall out of all the ones I have bought.
I agree with the suction cups, I have a couple from sea sucker but my kids use them to try and climb the house so I did not use them yet.

You need your own line of tackle as you got great ideas man. The cooler straps and hinges are such a great point. The icey Tek I have has been to hell and back and still rocking and rolling, well except the whole bottom cracked but freaking thing still keeps everything cool , also the kids like it as a sled.

a Sportfishermen.com Blue Pro Team Jacket in Large and Medium. Not everyone is the size of Pino and Gradywhite273 and Proheat, Nauti Dog, Cardinal Joe and all the other XXXL Team Members Help a brother out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I hear ya on the Jacket man I am actually working with someone to bring out a line of those Jackets. Sadly those jackets are really tough to size someone up. So you actually need people to try them on first which means we would have to ship it and I can say 80% of the people will have to ship back for another size. Just a pain in the ass but we have found the same jacket with another company who has a better size range so I hope that will work out.

1 put a lift on that Dodge and a 3 inch suspension lift on that trailer. You may just have to have more speed to get on the trailer at low tide

I found a couple last year at home depot that were rubber coated. My kids seem to break every nozzle we buy though so I have not found one that they can not break.

I heard they have a lot of these going up in Florida, automatic system picks up boats up to 50 some foot runs though a wash and dry and stores the boat..
Maybe Weber can build one.

I actually think I have seen those buckets recently but need to think where I was.

I like the retractable lines and actually I will look up something for you. When I used to climb trees I had some great straps and one was retractable for our climbing saws. Just sucked when the saw freaked out and the safty strap pull the saw up your leg.
