my set up has only been on my boat for a few months now...but i have not blown a bulb yet (i do keep spairs in my boat just incase though) and have no rust on the lights at all. they put off a weird smell when they are brand new and still do a little now but no where near as strong but other then that they are GREAT!

tightlines (4/25/2008)sounds like I am going to have to suck it up and get a honda the $875 doesnt sound too bad. Hopefully I can find a used one. I gave my 12v lights away when I sold my bayboat so I am out of comminsion untill I get a generator. How much are yall spending on your lights?

Another way to help justify the cost is when we have another storm it will run a Ref. and a some lights and a fan

That going to one of my excuses

BTW I want to buy one too my old 100W Generac is pushin 17 yrs. and i want to upgrade to the Halagens( need more watts)

Check out Wise Sales on the web. About two weeks ago they had the Honda 2000 Inverter for 845$ and free shipping. Oh yeah about the halogens I run 300's also and only burnt one up in 3 years, and man have they taken a beating. Just make sure you get the ROUGH SERVICE bulbs. I've had the best luck with Sylvania's. Good Luck!!!
