 Uncle J 18/58
Hadn't had time to put very many hours on the rig but here's a little review. 18/58 single taper bottom 3/16" bottom 1/8" sides 24" tall sides. 4" catwalks with accesory holes. 6' front deck with large hatch and dry storage. Removable 14" light rail. Welded 4" rail all the way around deck. Front of boat is 56" wide rear top beam 78". Painted with chem 400 cobble stone and gg g4 on bottom using gg base coat. Turf is the sears stuff. Riptide 80 trolling motor two 29 series batteries under front deck 6 gallon fuel tank in rear with cranking battery. 3 bank min kota charger mounted in dry storage under deck. Motor is 2013 Gator Tail (4700 coils) with mikuni and gutted exhaust. Heads and cam to come later. Running all deep water everything listed with just me 170lbs 27-29 with another person 200lbs 26-28. Haven't had a chance to run with three people yet. This boat is big used 80% for bow fishing and 20% for cat fishing. Boat handles great performs well for a boat this size. Pics will come for some reason tap talk is acting up.

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
120v 80 watt see lites 2000i Honda. probably 10 of them. Sorry I don't have a pic with the removable light rail on the boat. Not in a big hurry cause I use my dual rig for night fishing. This boat is for more daytime river fishing.

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
It just pins into the holes around the deck? I have a boat drawn up that I am wanting to get built but I havent decided how I am gonna do my lights yet. I do want them removable tho. Do you run the Sealites on your big boat? How do you like them in stained water?

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
See lites true warm which are 3000-3500k work good in stained and water. They have the yellow tint. Alot like the color of the old 225 ultra. My removable rail just slides into the uprights on the deck no need for pins.

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
That's the best idea for rod holders that I've seen yet. There are a lot of ideas from this build that I'm planning to steal.
Did you do anything tricky with your transducer or make it removable?

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
Its removable. Holes for rod holders do lots of other things like hold umbrellas, I have built pole transporters and other stuff. [attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1396387880455.jpg[/attachment]

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
I have two settings one down where it should be and one raised up if running in stumps. I hardly ever put it down it will read when setting still or idling in the upper hole.

 Re: Uncle J 18/58
That's what I've seen on a few other boats also. Seems to be about the best way. The other thing I've looked at is using an alumaducer but heard mixed reviews. I'd love to not have to worry about a transducer at all, but a guys gotta have one.
