Thanks Guys!
Anyone coming to the Lauderdale Boat Show? If so let me know we have some tickets.

I'll be there. If you have anyone to go over to TNT and look at the sound system in Double Take it needs an upgrade.

looks great ron! my fenders seem to enjoy the freedom of not being confined to holders LOL... placement of hardware is very different compared to mine. guessing the XS vs X weight would be the reason.

Where is your hardware mounted? Post a pic

after looking at the pics again I see its not much difference... Ill take one and post this afternoon. My batteries are mounted as far forward as possible...have 3 of them (I added one just for the stereo, I know, I know, weight kills lol.).

I'm planning on doing the same thing. I want two light weight lithium's for starting and a large deep cycle that I can remove easy, but leave installed for those recreational days when I'm not worried about the weight.

I'll leave it to Ron to tell me how to do that...

I looked into light weight batteries also and the lightest I found was 25 lbs. My Optima M34 weighs 38 lbs. 50Ah, 850 CCA 100 MCA.

Have you found something that out performed this or is significantly lighter?

I find its much easier to reduce weight by jettisoning passengers.
