last night i finished the bowfishing deck, i figured since im using a generator that can power a house why not use enough lights to light up a neighborhood. so after adding my rail, 6 more lights and painting it up its finished. 4500 watts of lights should be enough to shoot an aquatic animal or two.

im going to make a new one within the next month out of aluminum and ill see how it comes out, hopefully as good and sturdy as this one.

That should brighten things up!

Good Lord! Thats a lot of lights!

What does that thing weigh???

How much ballast you gonna have to add to the rear of the boat to keep it down???


All kidding aside that looks good, hope there are not any houses near where you plan on fishing because they will be calling the law thinking a UFO has landed on the lake/bayou

I thought I'd seen some GatorTrax boats plow some water, but good Lord!

neighborhood hell maybe a small city with that many lights ..... looks good

Looking good jl. I do have a couple words of caution. You'll have to be careful of dead grass, don't want to start any fires out there, and, be on the look out for hellicopters, I once had to wave one off one night, I guess he thought we were a helliport or something, I can see the same thing happening to you.

All that foolishness aside, how did yall do in Grand Isle?

we went to pointe au chein area in montegut, the water was like chocolate milk, coulnt see a fish so didnt shoot any, im waiting for a week or two without rain to go hunt for some clear water. im starting on my aluminum deck within the next week or so b/c of the weight of this one.

Why do a lot of the decks that I see have such high rails? It seems that the tall rails would get in the way of shooting. I would want to stop it at the bars that the top lights are hanging from. I'm thinking about getting one built and I've been curious about the different styles.

and wont throw you off if your driver hits something in the middle of the night (or maybe thats just my late night bow fishin trips)

thats why my rails are so high, that water be cold.

Heres a picture of mine the rails are a little over knee high I don't wanna fall in the water cold or hot that would suck. Jl the deck looks good never shot off of one high like that but I here you can see a lot better. Keep up the good work and built you one out of alum I can pick mine up by myself, really cuts down on the weight.

hey blaze I'm fixing to order my aluminum and i will be welding mine up.

Blaze, did you get your built around N.O. or did you build it yourself? I like the way yours looks and how the lights are mounted a little higher.

He built it himself.

Has anyone ever mounted a 400 watt HPS? I was thinking of replacing my front halogens with 1 400w but I'm not sure how to mount one that big and heavy.

i think d. phoung did on his boat. don't know if i spelled david's last name right. triplethreat has some high powered lights on his rig, dont think its hps lights though.
