[NOTALENT]

I was looking at blenders for the boat..Now that I cant afford the gas powered one I bought just yet..I was looking for a nice little 12v..that works well. Any recomendations???

Buy a good house blender and get an inverter. 12 volt blender I bought, lasted 2 loads then died!! Just my .02

The other one is junk and won't chop onions let alone ice.

My advice exactly.
I was going to put some kind of built in blender in the Revolution, but there is no good 12 volt one, 110v ones are cheap and basically disposable, and you aren't tying into your boat's electrical system in any permanent way.
So, we will be doing a kick ass inverter...

Sounds like using an inverter sounds like the best way to go..Is it best to get one and just plug into the cigarettle lighter or to run it from the battery??

You can run it from your lighter but just make sure you get an inverter w/ enough juice. The inverter should run around $150 bucks.

I would be wary of an inverter small enough to run on a cigarrette lighter.
Look for a 1K watter. It should be hard wired. Expect to pay the $150 or so.

It looks like all the Blenders that I am looking at tend to be 600watts. So how much would the inverter need to be? The full 600? This is the blender I was looking at on ebay.

I'd go for a bigger inverter...........who knows what you might want to use it for later.
