[Rhodes22-list] Pressuring washing a boat

[Ric Stott]

I bought a cheap one from China which is on the boat so I don’t know the name of it, but here is a link to a comparison of the best. 
Dewalt and Ryobi are very good, so if you have those batteries, it might be the best choice.
I was suckered in on an Instagram add and bought it before I realized there are many better options - I think I paid well under $100 for it and it wrks pretty well.  
Mine is a rechargeable unit so I’ll have to charge it on the boat with my 12v DC

Take heed of Peter’s comment and don’t spray close to hatches - I got some spray inside, I’ll be more careful next time. Worked so well I brought it up to Lake George for my other Rhodes. That one reaalllyyyy needed it.
