How to buy items for the boat...without the significant other knowing?

Dear Hammertime,

I agree with the others that promote honesty. In marriage. Heck my wife bought our first boat without consulting me (she’s kinda amazing).

If that’s not your style get yourself a wealthy girlfriend to buy you the items you want. PRO TIP: I hear fat chicks make for good ballast and they always bring snacks.
