2012 Holiday Gift Guide for Boaters

When it comes to holiday –– or birthday –– gift ideas, I never seem to have trouble filling out a list, much to my wife’s amusement. It’s really easy, though. There’s a constant flow of useful boating accessories hitting the market every season, and there’s always something I desperately need. But if you happen to be one of those rare anglers who has expression issues, simply dog-ear this page of the magazine and leave it on the nightstand next to your wife’s copy of 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me, she’ll get the hint.

When you’re ready to go fishing, you don’t need anything slowing you down like a low trailer tire. With the ­DieHard Platinum Portable Power, you’ll be on the way quicker than you can say “wahoo!” This compact power plant offers 1,150 peak amps for jump-starting 12-volt batteries thanks to its own internal AGM battery. It also includes a 150 psi air compressor, 400-watt power inverter, spotlight, two AC/DC power outlets each, plus a USB power jack. It all recharges fast with a 600 mA wall charger, and it’s backed by a one-year warranty.
