I don't have good access to shore power. I have to recharge by the engine mostly. A 120a alternator will give me 15 charging amps when the A/C and engine is running, and nearly 70 charging amps when the A/c is off and engine running.

My father has access to larger 6v batteries. He thinks he has two new 1000 amp hours for me. That's 12 straight hours of A/C never cycling off.

Sounds like about 600 lbs. You might end up with a really good wake-boarding boat after all.

Yeah I thought about that. The 225ah only weigh 65lb each.

Cushions!! More comfortable than grandma's couch with the microsuede. If you're wondering cost? Around $320 total.

I would mount the grill today but it's a 20mph wind out on the lake, boat is rocking too much.

Jose Cuervo FTW!

Yup Jose and Cointreau, we make real margaritas around these parts no stupid mix. The Igloo extreme cooler sits where the potti goes with a constant fill of beer and ice. Mounted the magma mount this evening. Pedestal mount on the swim platform so you can grill with the camper canvas up. I'll take pics in the light tomorrow. Stores perfect under the sink. AC next week! I'm sad it's not a Four Winns but honestly I love this boat.

There's an underneath but its big enough for a cooler or a tiny kid to sleep. Like the new fw s265 but a little narrower. The boat is only 20.6 loa without platform. Bigger cuddy than s225.

Nice looking setup...do those model BBQ pits have some type of canister to collect dripings from the food? Regardless, looks like you are rigged for a weekend on the boat...especially if the AC works out.
