I bought a smaller 4-gallon Shop Vac 5 years or so ago that seems to be like
the Energizer bunny. I think I paid $30 or $40 for it on sale. It’s too large
to keep on board but small enough to easily throw in the trunk of the car and
it sits nicely in the cockpit when I’m using it. I found an extra hose kit at a
thrift shop for $5 so I have enough hose to reach just about anywhere in the
boat when it is in the cockpit. One nice thing is that this unit takes the
standard bags and filters that are used on the majority of the Shop Vac
products ... so I have a Hepa filter installed that really cuts down on the
fine dust exhausted out the unit.
The filter came from Lee Valley tools ... they (amazingly) had the best price I
could find. I’m on my 2nd filter right now ... sanding the bottom after using
Soy Strip killed the 1st one .... along with my big shop vac (although that one
was a used unit I picked up off Craigslist).
