You don't have electricity on your boat? Most do these days,
and the
price of inverters has dropped down to the pocket change level.

I have all sorts of electricity on the new boat, but I have yet
to use
the refrigerators or icemaker, other than briefly, to ensure they
worked. I'm sure I'll use everything to excess this spring.

Yeah were sure too. As sure as we are you built that deck or

It's kind of gay how you jump to donnie's defense, ya know?


Gay? Please. I wasn't working the gang showers in the Navy as flajim
was. Besides, Don and I have never met and never exchanged hot chats
on the phone, as you and your boys here do. -
Just daily emails, right?

A well insulated cooler and a couple of bags of ice available at any

We use the camper refrigerator a lot, but I believe we could easily

Grape jelly?

Have you figured out how much weight you are adding all together? One of
the reasons I hate the idea of retrofitting a boat is the fact that you
"will" change the attitude of the boat in the water, it's waterline, and
handling... If you are lucky or plan accordingly, this will not be an
issue, but any compromise is going to hide itself till the **** hits the
fan anyway, so maybe you will never have it be an issue;)

--
Rowdy Mouse Racing - Pain is temporary, Glory is forever!

Oh yes,I have. The combined estimated weight of all the stuff i'd
planed on taking and the modified shelving/cabinets *is still less
than the boats cargo/person weight limit. *Now I'm backing up and
eliminating about an extra 175 lb. *Sure the boat will be heavier, but
hey... we're not going to be in a speed contest anyhow. and it won't
be hard to figure out where the boat will ride best by working the rpm
and trim.

if this was going to be a long trip cruiser things would be different,
but then again if it was gong to be a long term cruiser, it would be
bigger than a 23' boat too!

A 23' pontoon has got to be more forgiving than an 18'er. *Is it a tri-toon?

No, it's a monohull... I talked to Tim today and he is adding two
batteries, and a couple seat pedestal (boxes to replace pedestal poles
and hold electric and batteries noted previously. He also indicated a
couple tanks under the new floor but again they should be in the COB of
the boat really so they shouldn't make much difference with an 1100
pound capacity. Also note, he will always be in protected waters with
the boat..

A deck boat? *I though Tim had a pontoon?

Actually i do. a 30'r But the refrigeration is going on the 23'

Believe it or not you can actually hear the 6-71 grunt for a split
second when I switch the bank of golf cart batteries online, no belt
slip however. We've put about 30 hours on the new Leece-Neville over
the last week and no issues so far.

If you get tired of horsing around those 8D batts you might consider a
pair or Trojan T-145s as a replacement. They also have better deep
cycle characteristics than most 8Ds.

Oh, I can believe that could bog the engine on an initial pull, but
when stuff gets lined out the engine probably doesn't really know it's
there.

Concerning the batteries, well, a customer of mine has Cat equipment
and always keeps fresh Interstate batteries on shelf. he said i could
borrow one any time i wanted.

Jelly doesn't do well without a fridge. Gets runny. But orange marmalade, on the
other hand, was specifically designed to be eaten with peanut butter, and it
doesn't require refrigeration.

I thought you, of all people, would know that.
