Re: bowfishing decks
See link above. We can build them for any boat, and with all sorts of options like rails, lights, seats, steps, etc.

Re: bowfishing decks
My deck sits over top of my catwalks and bolts in place. Then my light rail is detachable as well. I don't run a raised deck on my boat, I don't care for them.

Re: bowfishing decks ^ love it. I have seen some of those drop in platform extensions. its a great way to save weight. few ?'s:
How do your rails mount?
what kind of lights you run?
it looks like there is a break in your rail for a trolling motor, do you have 2 wires coming back to the generator or did you figure a way to run it with only 1?

Re: bowfishing decks My rails have feet on them and I just bolt them on into riv-nuts that are in my boat. I'll take some photos later.
I run a mix of 27 and 48 watt led lights you can buy on Amazon now. I have all of mine tinted yellow and it helps a lot.

Re: bowfishing decks This is my deck extension. It rests on my catwalks and seems plenty sturdy. It drops in and bolts in place with 4 rivnuts , I've never had any issues with that either.

Re: bowfishing decks Here is my light bar. It also bolts in place with rivnuts. I use a bolt on each foot and it's super sturdy. I had the stock Garortail rail split and added the flat part where I mount my troller. Im running a mix of 27 and 48 watt LED lights tinted yellow and run them off 2 batteries (12v).

Re: bowfishing decks The lights plug into one side where I ran the wire to the back of the boat under the catwalk. The troller plugs into the other side and that cable also runs to the back.

Re: bowfishing decks Sorry I didn't throw the lights on the boat. Let me know if you want pics of anything else.

Re: bowfishing decks Modifying the light bar was the biggest change. Being able to use the trolling motor regularly and keeping the light rail on was huge.
