There is no reason you should let a dead battery beach your boating plans. If you can't afford a good marine battery right now just run to Autozone and grab a $40 special, it won't last very long but it will get you out a few times. If thats a problem steal the battery out of your car/truck.

I had to do this yeas ago, launched the boat with a dead battery. I had a choice of loading the boat back and going home or searching for a battery or parking the truck and borrowing the battery out of the truck. I was on the water all day with no problems.

Too funny - we actually used the battery from my friends truck and another from my friends zodiac last weekend to get going. I just need to find the time get to my boat and hook the old batts upto see if the recharging worked. Then I'll grab batteries if one or both arent holding a charge.

Ok...it looks like I have a full boat load for some hard core St Pattys day parting at Riverfront on Saturday. Lets get it going.

Wow, looks like it's gonna be a party! I'll be there- with or without boat, not sure.

[TickleStick]

Ok, downtown in the afternoon and through the night. Whats up for the morning?

If anyone plans on curing their hangovers by drinking in Lake Boca/Hillsboro Inlet, let me know, i had some friends talkin about wanting to hit the water on Sunday

It looks like I'm going to have about 10 people on my boat heading to Riverfront. We should arive by 3 or so. Keep an eye out.

It doesn't happen too often, but I'm taking a weekend off. Winds are 15-20 out of the North tomorrow which makes for a very ugly ride from Lauderdale to Boca. If I do anything, it may involve Lake Sylvia.
