Went Fri night.Water conditons were not the best. Did pick up 5 and my buddy in his boat got 6. The new light set up worked good. The only problem was it obstructed my nav. lights, which the Marine Po Po let me know about.( no ticket but they did ck for everything else which is a first in 30 yr)  Over all fair night with a good friend

New Lights

Look like you got you money out of that old generator, cool light setup.

    Voting for Obama and then deciding to fight for gun rights makes about as much sense as fighting for your daughter to keep her virginity after dropping her off at a bar.

Yeah I did. And it still cranks on the 1st pull and runs great ( uses a little oil) I just needed MORE POWER

New set up looks good.          Where did you get the lights and what's the brand name?

Did you have any problems with the center light contacting the bow roller when loading or unloading?

Good for you.

About your boat. Looks like a wooden boat. Did you build it?

Did you add that area painted White where the lights are bolted to?

How about a few more detailed pixs of the boat?

Lights:

3- 500 watt units?

Did not build this one. (It's a Stauter Built)

Just cut out some plywood to fit offer my bow to hang my lights on and then cut some

stainless for the brackets, ran all my wireing in rubber tubeing ( protection).

Here a pic standing on the bow.
