ADult beverage maker!
I saw this nifty little device before, and stumbled across it again. Drilled Margaritas.....humn, now, if I can only adapt a gizmo that I can put on top of the motor, I wouldn't need the drill, "Moto-Margarita's"!

Amatuuer stuff. Now this: Gasoline powered blender is a serious (though pricey) blender.

TOO FUNNY!!!!!!! Chip I swear, the 1st thing I Thought when I saw that contraption was Tim Allen and "TOOL TIME", sure enough it was featured on that show. I can hear Tim Sayin' it now "UHHH MORE POWER,UHHH UHHH! The Quote they used in their advertisement "The Manly way to make Girly drinks!" Good Stuff!
You know, Roger missed a golden opertunity to have an X boat on the show. Of course, Tim woulda mounted a 454 under the helmsman seat! With all the mods we do, Tim Allen can be considered an inspiration to all of us! I really miss that show....great laughs for sure!
Makes me wonder if Billy was a writer for that show? (140 ponies...errrrr!)

UNHH, UNHH, more power!
At $369 it's obviously designed more as a conversation piece than an actual useful product.
Tom's boatblender is a reasonably practical alternative without quite the same level of "wow!", as long as you bring your battery drill along ( I usually do on long cruises).
But, then there's the question of how many margaritas you can get out of a single charge on your drill batteries. If you want to have the drill available in case you actually need to drill something, eventually you'll have to recharge the batteries.
My own alternative in that aspect is a standard 120V blender and a 12VDC to 120VAC inverter. Billy G had one on the Bimini trip last year, and I can attest to the fact it works like a charm. You can also use it (the inverter) to recharge the camera and laptop batteries, run the Dremel, VCR, TV or any other reasonable 120V appliance, even a small microwave. I'll probably skip the latter as not worth the space/weight, though Billy has most of the above including a printer for the computer. Not having the 140HP motor with the 40A alternator, I'll have to be a little more judicious than Billy is about how much I use it as well.
I'm planning my inverter installation even as I write.
