Default Looking for a small inverter...

...one I can install in a compartment in the center console of my new boat
and hardwire direct to one of the batteries. I'm not looking for a lot of
power...enough to run a laptop, a small "boombox" type FM radio, et
cetera. Clean power is important, but not current draw. I'd like something
that isn't going to corrode out on me in a season. It won't be directly
exposed to the elements.

Under $100.

Suggestions?


Oh...if you are in my killfile, don't waste your time responding. I won't
see it.


There are several nice all in one stereo units that Ipods plug into. They
run on AC and DC. Some have the sound quality of large stereo systems yet
are the size of a shoe box. Costo carries several, most under $200.

No FM or AM though.

The other option is to run Itunes through the laptop you will have on the
boat.




Sony, I believe, is now making a small sized, big sound, "outdoor"
boombox for ipods that includes radio.
