Hi, I'll get my two cents in here about batteries. The AGM batteries are really nice if the boat takes on water or the battery somehow gets loose as they are sealed like a gel cell. But, they are less persnickety about the charge rate and a little cheaper. The small size from Boat U.S. is not that much when it should last for several years with proper care (less hassle than conventional batteries for sure). Anyway, check it out at: http://www.boatus-store.com/browse/item.asp?CFSR=1&IID=40752 The Air Force has started using them in ground equipment and in aircraft with much better results.

>>I intend to buy a motorcycle battery. They are about 3 1/2 inches wide x 6 to 7 inches long x 7 inches high - depending on model and capacity.<< Hi Connie.. I use an X-Power emergency power generator that I got from W-M. A more expensive option then your solution, but it comes with a 300 W a/c inverter, 12V c-lighter outlet, 2 bulb flourescent lamp and a pair of jumper connectors for starting car or big OB motor. It uses an 18 AH sealed battery. FWIW, they sell a small battery box for batteries as used in riding lawn mowers.
