Gizmo rating

[BrendanS]

I was thinking more of Martin's Fleming! <g>

DII doesn't have any satellite internet anyway, otherwise I wouldn't be txting weather forecasts to him! <gg>

Don't laugh, but I am installing an LCD TV and DVD player- has to be worth 10 points at least. It is just for the benefit of children on long passages though.

 

[BlueChip]

Cupholders?

 

[dralex]

Following on from BrendanS and duplication of instruments, how about a second plotter/radar display on a SAILING boat!

I reckon about 25 points for that.

Macerating toilet to avoid those foul ups- 10 points.

Has anyone mentioned Navtex yet?

Ok Folks

Have now set up a web page HERE with the list of Gizmo's and my score.

If you would like your score added, copy and paste the list into a PM to me with your bits and I will publish it. (If you want, I can only add your total score if you are worried about telling people what u got)

The score that I have attributed to each are a wild guess so feel free to make suggestions.

Cheers

Wayne

[jimboaw]

How many points do I score for having 2 totally independant autopilots and an espreso coffee machine?

 

[WayneS]

Those 3 items give you 37 points, which puts you way ahead of most new AWB's already......

 

[WayneS]

Ha, thought of another one.

"I've been featured in YM/PBO/YW sticker on boat" : Virtual sticker = 100pts. Real sticker = 200 pts

 

[jimboaw]

Add in my Kerry/Edwards sticker on the stern!

 

[tome]

...aaah, but you don't have any tinnie holders like ours!

 

[iangrant]

This is unfair as I only qualify for the Beer Cooler, CD and BBQ = 40 points although I've no idea why a £1.99 BBQ gets 20 points. Can I have some points for my DAB Radio?

My mate, Seaspray III, however gets another 20 points for his TV. Will he get more points for his solid mahogany Spiral Staircase and his, soon-to-be-installed Flushing Urinal which is going to replace his current bucket arrangement? He'll have more points than me although my boat's bigger! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Pascal Atkey Cowes about 5 years ago, but the old henfrau reckons she can't get them any more. Seem to remember they are made in Oz.

Mahogany Spiral staircase and Flushing Urinal get points, but TV loses 20!
