Finally picked up the new rig on Friday! I ordered it in March at the LA Sportsman show and it was complete about 8 weeks later.

Its an 18x 54 extreme series center console which comes with the hunt deck. I extended the deck 12 in. for bow-fishing, added light rails and 12 LED lights. Also added spud pole kit, swamp lights, reverse plate, grab handle, LED courtesy lights that shine back on to the boat floor and another in the console that lights up the drivers floor area. I also got the trolling motor package and an onboard battery charger and hydro turf too.
Big Thanks to Bayou State Hunter for helping me with all the design decisions and most importantly for "convincing" my wife that I needed a new mud boat! Thanks Phil.

I'll post performance stats later.

Really nice boat, do u need a generator with LEDs? The new charging system should handle them right?

Forgot to mention, two batteries, both in the back, 1 cranking, the other for trolling motor/ LED etc, they hooked it up to the motor too so it will be charging as long as the motor is running, so no more Genny!

Yeah I know that's who I bought my motor from. I just wasn't completely sure the difference between stage one and stage two.

I'm still waiting for my GT referral award!

Also Carlie Echo, I made a deal with your old lady that I get your boat if you don't have 50 hours on it by duck season.

howd the lights mounted on the rail like that work out? reason im asking is i have the same set-up being built at RGD right now on a 17/54. could only get ten see-lites on it though since i split the rail dead center for trolling motor

Those knee rails suck for bow fishing. Not only do you have to shoot over them(not a big deal) but if you fall they make you go in head first...lol

Your lights are way to high and they need to point toward the water

13" from the deck of boat to top of light. I posted a yellow tint for them also one one of these threads put that on them.
