I find the outrigger is really handy for tying my Jet Skis to when I need extra dock space. No mooring permit needed!

The kids really love this new "raft". Its like putting an addition on my house with no permits, no DES approvals and no taxes on land/water I don't even own! The neighbors have voiced some concern, but I'm not interfering with their navigation even though it does effect their view of the lake. I'm within my rights!!!

The kids love it so much that they been sleeping over night under the roofed section of the raft. I was thinking of running an electrical cable and buying a waterproof TV so that they can play video games when they awake. Does anybody have experience running power to a swim "Raft"?
110V won't be enough, you need 220V. Put a mast up in the middle and you can run a 220V line over head from the house. You could even put a heating element in the water for those cold spring mornings when the water hasn't warmed up yet.
