Pressure Washer recommendation?

[texasvet54]

It's spring and I need to pressure wash my houseboat. I'd like to buy an electric one. I have access to a John Deer heavy duty gas operated one, but carrying it up to my upper deck would be difficult at best and the pressure hose isn't long enough to reach from the dock to the top deck.

Any recommendations?

I'd buy a longer hose!
The first rule in buying pressure washers is, Buy as much GPM and you can afford! Anything below 3 GPM can be very frustrating when washing large objects.
I would rather have a 5GPM @1200psi then a 3GPM @ 2500psi.

Do you have a Harbor Freight in your location.

my mom has bought 2 or 3 electric ones only to find them last for a few hours. my personal experience with harbor freight... dont go there most the stuff is cheap and has its flaws here and there better off paying twice as much for something that will last i have a little electric one i found in garbage its nice to do your driveway cracks but wont clean anything. if you got $200 to spend or so buy a 5 hp honda at menards that will come with a few differnt types of bits and they will last as long as you keep up on oil chnages and dont get water in the fuel tank. it will come with a light steel frame and 2 wheels easy enough to move. weighs maybe 50 lbs and i think it has a 20 foot hose.

remember one thing water and electric don't mix...
