Post Light Setups
Curious to how yall are mounting your lights (regular "get to the blind" lights, not bow fishing) on boats with pointed bows. I'm wanting mine to be BRIGHT without spending thousands on rigid. What would yall recommend?

If you've got pics of your setup please post away!

Spud holes. Bracket drops right in. Got some amazon specials. Mine are 7" floods, have 2 and they're plenty of light. Got a 4 pack of 4" off amazon, gonna use 1 on my boat for putting out decoys, the other 3 will be on another bracket for a friend's boat, one centered and the outside ones pointing outward just a tad.

Russ is the bar that your lights are attached to welded down?

Med, the bar they're bolted to is welded to the pipe looping over the top, and it drops right into my spud holes on the front of the boat. Removable just by lifting and unplugging.

Amazon special and plenty bright enough and not "douche bag" level bright. I drilled and tapped a piece of aluminum stock to fit a 1/2" bolt. Ran my light off of a trolling motor plug so it'll be easy to swap out if the light ever craps out.
