[drwxr]

I have the deep cycle marine battery from Walmart in my inflatable. It weighs a little more than a tonne but I'll guarantee you it'll last pretty much a full day pushing a kayak around with a full charge. I go for 4-5 hours at a time and hook it up to the charger when I get home and it's barely under half charge, and that's running it pretty much constantly when I'm on the water. Priced right too.

Oh I could of, but it was easy to lay it down.
