Parade of Lights Preparation

So, for those who will be participating, or who have participated, in christmas light boat parades, thank you. We've always enjoyed watching the boats go by all lit up like a christmas tree. And we're looking forward to it this year, too!

Now, there's a long shot (more likely I'll win the lottery) that I'll light up my boat and add it to the parade next weekend. It's just a little Sea Ray 185 Sport. So, I'm wondering, what do I need besides some lights and a bit of exterior decorating aptitude? Can I just use my RV battery, and an inverter, or is it a converter, to power the lights? I'll have to put the boat into a temporary slip overnight; I have very little trailering experience and I'm not ready to load it up in the dark.

Ten gallons of gasoline poured into the bilge and a roadside flare ought to make a nice display. Harry

One of those cheap inverters will do it. A few hundred watts will do quite a few strings of those small lights. If you're going to be running the boat you don't really need the second battery but it is cheap insurance if you already have one from an rv.

A small inverter should handle the lights. Good luck. Post some pictures when it's over!

Wishing you the best as we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I'd think 12v strings of lights would be better. You'd need an inverter if using 120V AC lighting underway. Don
