What did ya get for Christmas?

A few things but by far the best gift is a two drink cup holder with a small pocket that holds my cell phone for my C5 corvette why designers didn’t just build in some5h8ng like this by 2003 is beyond me. My 2003 avalanche has at least four cup holders.

I received a Simrad GO7 with the totalscan transducer, a 3M stripe eraser to remove the sticker graphics on the 230sx and a full seadek kit for the boat. Lots to do while she’s in her winter storage:)
 
I got:
Fusion RA205 (good bye stock head unit!)
Wolo Dominator 125 (to replace the one the valet guy crushed)
Weems & Plath distress light (very cool--and no expiration date!)

Oh, and some non-boat stuff... :)

I'd love to see a video of the Wolo's in action.
 
I have it mounted right next to the helm. The old one did make one of my kids almost jump into the water when he was sitting there in the bow when I blew it the first time... Yeah, should have had a video of that one.

I looked for a while before I settled on the GO7. I was really impressed with some of the other members' use of it here on the forum.
 
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier smart watch
Not had a chance to play with mine much yet....only installed the Timer app so far (and a new watch face). Have you installed many apps?
 
@Julian, I'm using the health app, I've taken a few phone calls on it and its amazingly clear! I found a lot of watch faces on FACER and have changed them over and over, and I used the GPS speedometer, thats about it. It's main function for me is still a plain old watch.

My primary uses are : watch, calendar reminders, text messages, timer. The timer is nice, you can just double tap and say "set a timer for x minutes"

I'm between that, the Humminbird Helix 7, and the Dragonfly 7 pro.

Best dogs ever.
 
Was putting things away and realized I got these cool electronics for Christmas, although I probably won’t open the Google device.

They are addictive...be warned....there are now 6 Alexa's in our house! Instant gratification to many questions where ever you are! My wife uses it in the kitchen a lot while cooking for things like...."Alexa, how many table spoons in a cup?, "Set a timer for 3 minutes called rice", "Play Classic rock from Prime (or spotify/Pandora) downstairs" (you can set up zones).
 
Love my alexas. I think we're up to 7 of them.
 
Y'all are crazy having those things in your home.
 
Crazy... but happy. :)
 
Ask her how to get rid of a dead body! Good times with Alexa:D
