New Price for the Conversion: $693

I stopped by an auto store, and they said they get deep cycle batteries that are still good sometimes, especially this time of year, from rich boaters that just want new ones, and they said just to stop in every few days, and I can have them for free if I want. So, the total price for the conversion is...

$693!

haha!

But weight (oprah), there's more...

I need to get a couple cheapo brake parts since they were crap on my crappo mobile, so it might break $700. oh well...
