[Jim]

Sweet!

This is going to be awesome!

 

[semojetman]

Im building my rail for the new boat as we speak.
Its gonna be nice, but i cant say ill have heated seats. We dont have time to sit. Lol

 

[fender66]

Looking forward to those pictures.

 

[semojetman]

Yeah, lets see sme pictures

 

[Paul Marx]

We need A/C seats down here . Looking forward to your build .

 

[Seth]

I'm curious to see this thing! I love stabbin me some suckers and eating them fresh on the river banks!

 

[Xterminator GT]

Any updates?

 

[rockdamage]

testing lights

 

[rockdamage]

50 watt cree led x 6

about 10-12' viability

 

[rockdamage]

rail with 50 watt led

 

[Xterminator GT]

Do you know how many hours your going to get out of the LEDs.

 

[rockdamage]

have operated them for 2+ hours on a group 31 trolling battery. I need to let them run out and get a real time

And this boat isn't the gig master ...... will post pics of it when it gets further along.

my new lights are single chip led and pull just over 4 amps

I also have a 56" 360 watt light bar that is most impressive but the light spread isn't what I had hoped for ...

 

[Xterminator GT]

Right on. I can't wait to get a set of these LEDs. I'm so sick of hearing the generator run.

 

[semojetman]

Im just tired of yelling over the generator.

im using a 1000 watt pure sine inverter and 3 metal halides. engine keeps the bat charged and no generator noise. oh yeah 60,000 lumens

Same here. I love the brightness of my metal halides but the generator sucks. I'd give up some light just to be able to listen to the radio while we gig in a heartbeat.

Are you charging them with your 300 mercury? My etec has a pretty good charger as well but I think it maxes out at 50 or 60amps and thats if I'm running 2500+ rpms. At gigging rpms, it's only about 15-25 amps. I've currently got 2x400w metal halides on my rig and I thought about trying to run them over a converter hooked to my batteries but I don't know if it would last very long. That would be unreal to have all that light and zero noise!

 

[rockdamage]

Ive got a 3000 watt pure sine. ($350 )With 100% duty cycle. One 400w metal Will run a battery dead in about 15 minutes. I tried 2 400's last year. Burnt up a voltage regulator lol. . Now I run 150's. A single group 31 and my 40 4 choke will keep up for about two hours without sever voltage loss... two lights will never go dead but I like the extra. You can use the cheaper modified sine inverter but you'll lose some efficiency and the lights will hummm like a street light

THE TROLL ......

 

[rockdamage]

I sold the 300xs....

THE PATHETIC TROLL....

 

[Seth]

aww bummer on the 300xs man. Thats the baddest of bad for outboard jets!
