Digital tachs with solid state tach drives get my vote for pure enjoyment.
Second would be my satellite radio system. Doesn't take much to entertain a
boater I guess.

The 36 Prairie has two sets of steps off the sidewalks leading to the aft
cabin top. To get to the bridge from there you have to climb another three
steps located on the aft cabin top.  But the boat came with a mast and boom
which originally was used to lift the dinghy on to the cabin deck.  The
problem was the boom blocked your path if you wanted to use the Port steps
off the sidewalk.

We put a set of "St Croix" davits off the stern and removed the boom.  Had
a stainles rail built around the cabin top and had a "Bimini" top put on
the rail.  (This really added a lot of "living area" to the boat.)  Added
table and chairs and you have a great place to hold "sunset Services", have
lunch, etc......jd
