I actually bought a small Solar Panel to charge the battery while fishing but I have to rework that system. You had me all the way up until "Prius"... ... ...I mean, how can I tote my boat with a Prius? Strapping it to the top of the "car" would probably require me to have a Pilots License, and could You see the trailer?! Pfff!
Mr. Andy, I've considered the Stick It 8', but my current anchor system is pretty clever and works very well. Growing up, my Dad built a "stick pole" out of a piece of aluminum pipe, put a "duck bill" on one end and we were in business. That thing even floated. I do like the Stick It's, though.
