It's always the little things that slow you down and cost you money. Boats looking great :beer:

well maiden voyage went well. had some cooling issues with the motor that are almost resolved. we have a few things left to do, finishing lighting up and the platform so hope.

Hi scsdiver. I just stumbled across your thread and wanted to compliment you on the great work. I was also wondering if you had any more pics of your LED set up. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna steal your entire set up, but I'm terrible with electrical stuff. Any pics, schematic, or a write up would be awesome. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

FINALLY has two successfull trips out on the boat tongiht with no motor problems! we have spent the last two weeks chasing issue after issue and finally got them all worked out. even took it to dinner tonight. we hope to finish the rest of the build by next week.

 

[fool4fish1226]

Glad to hear you got the bugs worked out. :beer:

Nice work... 4 a.m. and had been wondering what ighting lady yellow would look like on a tinny. Once I pickup my new to me SeaArk 1872, going to Linex the interior and paint the exterior with a good paint. Been going back and forth between fighting lady yellow and white. It gets hot on the flats in the summer in N. Florida and a light color is a must. Great work!

Well, looks like its time for a final update on the project.

We finished the platform some time ago, got all the lighting installed and thought we were ready to go. Turns out we had some motor issues still! We chased it and chased it around and finally found a HUGE amount of scale in the water jackets around the cylinders. We finally got it all cleaned and all seems to be running much better now.

On the water, pre-platform.

Night interior (with ability to change lighting color)

Platform and lighting for the motor/Nav

Bow Lights

So yeah...just a little scale buildup!

Thanks for looking, and for the encouragement and help

Wise man say “No flushy motor, you have big pwalablem” :LOL2: Glad you got it worked out. Your build was great. The boat looks exceptional. =D> Good luck with it.

 

[ifish4redd]

looks great =D>

 

[highvoltageva]

how do you connect the LED's. if you buy a 16ft roll but need 4 ft in 4 different places how do you connect the 3 with no plugs??? i'm getting ready to buy some lights for my build when i saw your Bow lights and loved them.

 

[Gators5220]

Man that thing is sweet! Nice build, wish I had a tracker to turn into a flats boat!

 

[kylebacc]

Holy crap. This is AWESOME. Like... REALLY AWESOME... =D>

 

[PitFishin']

=D> this is one of my favorite builds! excellent job fellas

 

[crabsandbottlecaps]

Ya I seen a lot of people use these lights but not sure how there connecting them and what there doing with the converter box... how did u run yours ?

 

[zacksimpson]

Man, that's a sharp build. Makes me second guess myself on going camo on mine. Make this one a flats boat and buy a open hull jon boat to duck hunt with... Decisions, decisions...

 

[SF Flats Fisher]

This is one heck of a build. I don't think I have ever seen a build this clean. Great job guys!
