There. And don't be cutting any more classes.

G that would save you a LONG walk down to the boat and a LONGER walk back up the hill to the truck.

Yes, theoretically. I expect more like 85 to 90% more actual time though.

G3, that boy is so tight that he ate supper at home before we went to eat jus so he wouldn't hafta watch me spend my money on his supper. So I can and did understand him not wantin to pay fer the gas. Heck he could prolly trade about 23 crank baits fer a tank of gas and never miss um.

dang...I didn't know the ol boy was that tight.....sheeeesh!

well heck, you wudda thought that you would have gave me a hat that had not been worn and sweated in already, but naw, you fraid to spend a dollar tight @$$ Rofl

if u get a new battery to go with ur older one i would suggest some type of quick dissconnect or battery switch,i went through this last year and the batterys i have are exactly the same but one was 10 months older and when wired in parrallel it didnt last much longer than when i had just one battery,now i have them wired with quick disconnect and when one runs down i switch to the other.
