Sylvan 15 Foot V-Haul - modifications

I like #4- accent lighting under the gunnels,,,, awesome idea that I'd have never thought of!!

i got the idea from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVc8sJzjDIc

if you go on Ebay and type in "flexible LED strips" or "flexible LED lighting" you can get rolls for a pretty good price. you can even get lights that are multi colored with a remote module, so you can turn them on / off, or change the color with the push of a button.

do you have the same boat as mine?

Watched the video,,, that's pretty cool. My boat is not exactly the same, but dang close. It's a Starcraft.

Awesome, you can do so much with that boat. I stared for a long time and looked through many posts to poach ideas. This site helped me so much.

The biggest problem is finding time to work on it. When you start to see results you really start getting motivated because your fishing machine begins to come together. I think you've got a real great rig there and it'll be great to see what you do with it. Definately post pics as you progress

Transom upgrade, more pics to come.

Cleaned up all the holes the previous boat owner drilled through. No more wires going through the transom. The transducer cables for the fish finder now run through a conduit that goes over top the transom at a 90 degree crest.

Looks great. I'm jealous because I'm not finished yet and won't be for a while yet.

THANK YOU for the compliment. I looked through your project and your re-build is complicated and a lot to be done. THe guts of my boat were in pretty decent shape which made it a lot easier.

I am really glad I went with the aluminum diamond plate accent. Worth the effort and gives a much nicer look than carpet right through. I found a place that sold it for $4 a sq / foot, but they even cut it down to the measurments I needed

I really like the look too. =D> What kind of store did you get it from? Like a Home Depot type store or what?
