It's one of the ones from Pep Boy's but $400 ain't gonn'a buy one. I was in there today looking for something else and they have a different model than Joel and I have. I like the new model better. It holds more fuel and the layout of where you plug into the generator is different.
It is a 2000 watt generator and will run 1800 watts continuous. this is higher than what we have at aprox 1650 watts. It has the same "smooth" power, which means you can run a computer off of it if you want. [not that we care for this purpose, but you may want to for another reason. It does have the same 58db rating for noise. It weighs 60lbs without fuel. I can't remember if it sid it held 1.4gal or 2.4gal. i think it was 2.4gal and ours only hold 1gal which will give you aprox 4hrs to 4.5hrs run time with 4- 300 watt halogen lights.
It's $600 and we paid that for the ones we have last year.
Here is the same unit that Pep Boys has now on Ebay.

This is the one we have, only it's Red, instead of Yellow.

What I did notice as another difference is that the new one's do NOT have the 12V- 8.3amp charging plug to charge a 12V battery.

Something to be careful of is Over taxing the generator.
Those lights come with 500watt bulbs in them. They were changed out to 300watt bulbs. [No 400watt bulbs available] 400watt bulbs would be pushing the generator close to max continuous run output. That is with running 4 of those lights.

OK, here's the finished product for the beer holders.  I have been looking around to find something cheaper than West "Bend me Over" Marine. I did find them, but I would have to wait on them and were going tomorrow night. So if someone want some like this I will order the cups in bulk. 2- 10in Bungee cords now hold it onto the TM. Quick and easy detach if needed and it's pretty darn solid.

Yes Huggies/Koozies are not a option. They are mandatory.
You can buy them from me. I would like to see your TM to make sure of the measurements.
$30ea for the twin setup.

Hey I showed how to build them here. If someone can't build it it will cost them that much for me to build it.
Just running around burning gas to pickup the parts is worth something.
What's your time worth?

cough cough, Good luck with the beer holdersI know I've spilt, kicked and dropped atleast $30.00 worth of beer off the boat. They would pay for there selfs. And being in the holders they are right there, No more bending down to get your beer.

I must admit that I to am guilty of waisting a lot of beer. It never fails open one up take a sip and set it on the deck, and the next thing you know its rolling around in the bottom of the boat. So you start over with a new one.. P.S my cough is better now thanks for the attidude adjustment. Every body needs one every now and then.
