[Car Batteries on Boats]

i have been using normal car/truck batteries in the boat for last few years and had no problems

[Great day turned into a nightmare, minor hull damage, broken window and impeller problems]

you could probably mix up some fibreglass resin and fill the holes with it,did 2 smaller similar ones on my boats 4 years ago and still all ok

hope this helps

[Easiest way to Wash the Boat after use !]

i just spray on truckwash then use a soft broom and bucket of water to wash boat then hose off,but i must say that our glass boat needs a really good polish as it has not been done in 4 years we have had it,probably never been polished

[What size bilge pump?]

i think a 500gph would be heaps,remember thats 2000 litres which is a lot of water,we have a 750gph on our 5.2m glass boat
