Thank you all for your valuable input. I had looked at the imtra line a year ago but not knowing one brand from another it looked like just another brand.

My last post regarded AGM batteries but this post is about LED lighting. I want to replace the current interior lights which are original, with LED lights. Has anyone done this project on their boat? If so can you lend some hints such as what lights you used or any obstacles you came across?

I want to thank everyone for their input. I have to conclude that AGM batteries are not worth the added expense. As I don't know the answer to any of Rachels' questions I do want to change my interior lights to LED to limit my draw as much as possible. Then add a solar panel somewhere even if it's o...

I need to replace batteries on my Pearson 38 but not sure if I should go with AGM batteries or the flooded type I currently have.

Rachel, I will attach the information on the boat that I have. As far as I know it is an Invicta designed by Bill Shaw and the 1990 was the last year this or any pearson was built. The floor has about 10 sections separated by fiberglass supports running fore to aft. The only floor section with suppo...

I purchased my Pearson 38' Invicta last May and it's in great shape but the interior floor is showing some wear and age and want to bring the floor back to it's original non water stained, non dented original look. The boat deserves it and more so, I think I do too. From looking online at the differ...
