I have messy kids! What is your recommendation for a boat vacuum? I would like one small and powerful for dry messes.
Plug in or Battery (boat has a generator, but if mess happens on hook?)
Where do you store it?
What do you have?

Re: Boat vacuum
If you have carpeting, get one with a POWERED beater bar.

Re: Boat vacuum
We have a cordless one that looks like the shark. The bottom part sits in a floor charger and the wand fits in a closet. Can't tell u the name of it at this moment. Mike

Re: Boat vacuum
I pretty much boat alone most of the time so I bring my vacuum cleaner from home to vacuum out the boat when needed. I know that does not answer your question. I would agree with the poster that said if you have carpeting you need a more conventional vacuum cleaner one that will clean the carpeting.

Re: Boat vacuum
Our boat has central vac..... not bad but not great either. We throw our Dysan in the truck every so often and give a good go over. For out on the hook we have a little shark vac that we use.

We have CV on ours too Fraser. I wasn't too crazy about it at first but I brought our powered beater bar and hose from our home CV and gave it a try. Way better with the beater bar. You can probably pick up a used one on Kijiji or something just for the boat.

Re: Boat vacuum
We have a central vac also. Agree you do need a head with an electric beater bar. Not the air driven ones. We also picked up a mini electric beater bar about 6 inches or so wide. My wife loves it - great for stairs and small spaces where the regular head won't fit. Actually, since we got it that is all she uses!

Re: Boat vacuum
This electric beater bar idea has me intrigued - I have never seen an aftermarket one....
