Just bought a Challenger SE need some advise/info

Careful on the amp and tower speakers...Make sure the amp doesnt require more amps than the charging system can put out...You will never charge the battery and will always kill the battery...I have a guy that is doing that right now with the Speedster 200 I built....

Great choice in boats. I have the same one. I installed a 2nd battery right next to the original battery. Works great.
As far as performance mods... Don't get to crazy. If you want speed buy a jet ski. Stock the boat will get you around 50mph. You could spends $5k+ and you would still only be at 56mph. Just enjoy the boat!

Thanks guys, great to hear about the top end, I thought it was aroung the 42 mph mark i would be pleased with 50 give or take ( I have a hard time leaving things stock) Great idea on the dual battery combo I guess that there are marine grade battery splitters available? Any ideas on a supplier?

Use a Battery Combiner to recharge dual batteries automatically
If you want to power heavy electrical loads with...
Dual batteries, battery combiner - options for powering a radio or music player
A dual battery system could be installed, which eliminates the concern about not being able to start the engine if the 'music battery' is drained. Using a battery combiner device, both batteries would be automatically recharged when the engine is running.
A combiner only connects the two batteries together when the charging system voltage is above 13.x volts. So when the engine is not running, the 12.x volt batteries are automatically separated.
When the engine is running, the alternator output rises above 13 volts, the batteries are linked, and the system charges both, with the battery needing more recharging getting the bulk of the recharge current. Many combiners include a built-in time delay feature, so that they do not 'chatter' if the voltage is wobbling right around the 13 volt level.
A battery combiner has simple connections. One red wire to each battery, black wire to ground. Connect the music device directly (through a fuse) to the 'secondary' battery, and leave everything else connected as per normal to the 'main' or 'start' battery.
