BoatUS suggest that after a PFD your best piece of safety gear is your VHF. Fishing on the lake, I think most boats monitor and converse on Ch 11 (?), so it's not just a safety item. Doubly important if he does any coastal boating. Despite all the good stuff your phone does, it can't broadcast or receive a Mayday. And he'll need waterproof bags/containers for all this stuff you're buying.
Is he taking time away from wife/family/girlfriend to help you. Maybe they need something too?
BTW, I think we're all having a good time spending your money for things that we'd like to have too, or have enjoyed in the past. Thank you.
