how do you guys have your bowfishing decks rigged up removable so you can use your boats all year long?

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

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.

^ 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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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