So, for those who will be participating, or who have participated, in
christmas light boat parades, thank you. We've always enjoyed watching the
boats go by all lit up like a christmas tree. And we're looking forward to
it this year, too!

Now, there's a long shot (more likely I'll win the lottery) that I'll light
up my boat and add it to the parade next weekend. It's just a little Sea
Ray 185 Sport. So, I'm wondering, what do I need besides some lights and a
bit of exterior decorating aptitude? Can I just use my RV battery, and an
inverter, or is it a converter, to power the lights? I'll have to put the
boat into a temporary slip overnight; I have very little trailering
experience and I'm not ready to load it up in the dark.

I'd think 12v strings of lights would be better.
You'd need an inverter if using 120V AC lighting underway.
