RE: LIGHTING???
I run some cheap "construction" type halogen 500W housings. And all last year I would buy the cheap 500W bulb replacements. Out of my eight lights, at least two would go out every trip. Next year I'll run the ultra bulbs in smaller wattages and I'm sure those will hold up much much better. I'm also going toinvestigate running MH or HPS lights. That's a whole nother' story! I've been running my 5500W Generac generator which has a Briggs motor on it. Very loud and I have to lift it into the boat with my loader tractor! This year I will definately be looking into a smaller one. I'm sure it will be cheap and off brand.
