Building a new boat and debating between a golight or a permanent headlight. What do you guys prefer! Pics of builds would be awsome!

Both!

That's an awsome rig! Did u build it or factory?

I've thought bout that kind of build but figured it to tall that it would b in the way. Golight pretty handy?

Gator Trax makes them. I only use it when I'm going somewhere new and unfamiliar with the area.

I was looking at doing the golight/navigation light stantion mount but wasn't sure if that would b enough light. But figured the golight would b handy for setting decoys.

You won't use it for setting decoys. Too much work moving the light around. Headlights are enough.

Go lights are too concentrated. I think you'd be better off with flood lights.

So concensus is golight sounds good but to concentrated for flying thru the marsh at 3am?

Well than in LED's what's better.. light bar or individual lights?

I have a 10" ridgid and like it. Use the search feature. There is a ton of info with everyone's opinions on the subject.

Ck out this guy, He is in Alabama and his dual spot/flood that is badass and he has a LED Golight

I had a 20" light bar on my last boat, and a pair of duallys on my new rig. I prefer the bar because them damn dual keys don't ever seem to point the same way. Not bad enough to matter really but it bugs me the lights always being slightly cock eyed

HID off brand go light with two 4" flood LEDs.



Or

LED go light with 2 - 10" flood LED light bars and one single 4" LED flood (don't really need the single but looks cool)



Here is pic with just the floods on, thought I had one with go light on as well but guess not.



The LED go light is almost is bright as the HID but HID shoots a little farther.

That's pretty sweat! You really like the golight?

I've run only a HID go light on a stanchion mount for 5 years and keep one hand on the throttle and one hand in my pocket on the remote and just pan back and forth to make sure I'm not going to hit anything.

Also like it for running trails or creeks or rivers because you can pan it toward the curve before you actually get to it. Then we started doing HID go lights and two 4" flood lights on customer boats just so can see up close better and use the go light to "search" or pan back and forth as I call it

I'm a big fan of the hard hat lights. Just turn your head to see what you need to see. One hand on the throttle and the other hand free.

Instructions for a homemade.

Also HATE wearing a hard hat while working so dang sure dont want to wear one while riding in the boat. They don't sit good on your head with a beanie and sweat your ass of with one on during summer

Yeah good points Willett. I don't like the shine off the sides of lights up front, but if you build a box around it you eliminate that.
