Post Custom gigging/bow fishing Boatright (pic heavy)
I normally don't post pics of boat builds but this is a really nice gigging boat. The boat is a 2072 Texas scooter it really turned out great. The electrical is a custom built system that I designed to run 12v. It has a custom built alternator that makes 80 amps at 1000rpm.

What kinda of range does the motor have for steering? Can it rotate 45 degrees, 180 degrees, etc.. I'm thinking of doing something along those lines for my gatortail but would like the motor stand and steering mechanism to be removable.

The fan is for running the shallow water at slow speeds and can be controlled from front of the boat

We have sand bars over here in Galveston & these boats are a giggers dream! I have a few friends that have one, now if I can only get James to hold onto one long enough to test it out one evening before the new owner takes delivery! These boats just clean up
