Spotlights for boating

[Skipper]

I was looking for a spotlight to help find my way back to the trailer in the dark. I was wondering what you guys use. I would like something that has an on board battery with the option of a cigarette lighter plug for extended use. Waterproof and floats would be great too! The unit would have to be somewhat compact because my boat is short on space.

about $100 is my upper limit and then they better be able to see it on the moon!

What do you think? There are allot of products out there, and the prices vary wildly!

I was looking into spotlights as well. I would rather 2 mounted units on my consoles, but these hand held ones looked interesting.

Hmmm... link is not working....

I fixed the link... Usually marine means it is waterproof and floats.

I thought about mounting a light permanently, but I launch in a few swamp holes that involve some fancy floating and navigating though river channels to get into the main body. I think it would be better to be able to put the light where it needs to be by hand. It's also fun to shine for critters!

10-4 on that Skipper, thats why I was liking the handheld ones.

Never know where you will need to point the beam. LOL
