Just a 4 lb motorcycle battery....we're getting about 24 hours of play time on the battery...

That garage needs more boats. Only when you open the garage door and there is a plastic and kevlar avalanche do you have enough boats.

You could beat that with a larger battery or a couple of batteries and a nice sub woofer.
Perhaps a small refridgerator for beverages.
You could rig it for XM or Serius satalite radio with a car antenna kit and have i pod compatibility.
Maybe a rig on the back for an electric trolling motor?

That's beautiful baby! Liquid Logic must be so proud. Better get a patent before you lose your lead.

Hey Brian,

It is already iPod capable, and sub compatible...The weight was the only consideration with a larger battery, but all are fine options...If you don't already have an XP...you could always get one and Pimp it out too! :beer:

Love to see what others could come up with...

Any day XP Livin is pretty much better than any other day!

It just cracks me up that we've got a boat that is equally at home on Richland or the Grand Canyon, and have now outfitted it so that it is completely ready for the Spring River this summer...

:poke: :beer: :clap:

As for further outfitting - Some of those lights that are sound-activated to flash with the music - especially if you set them up so that they can light the water around and under the boat on evening cruises, but even deck-mounts would be OK. You can get them at Autozone; they're not really all that expensive. It would be relatively easy to install them inside some large-diameter tygon tubes, and then seal the ends, if the "factory" waterproofing is not adequate.

Or, since you're deck mounting some accessories already, how about just the old stand-by, a mini spinning disco-ball somewhere behind the cockpit? (Don't want to blind the paddler at night...)

I just got a picture in my mind of an XP10 catamaran all rigged out with a cooler and various other things riding on a small deck between the boat and the outrigger (as if it would be anywhere else... I know. Shut up)

I was just thinking Spring River myself. Leave it to the group at OOO to invent a new 4D kayaking experience. :beer:
