    Light suggestions for back of boat

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Ive tried the cheaper LEDs that you can find online.  They are bright and work, but Ive found out multiple times that the mounts completely suck and crack when exposed to the sun.  Ive scrapped them and bit the bullet on some of the RIGID INDUSTRIES Leds.  They are expensive, but bomb proof.  Look at the D-Series Floods.  My deck looks like a space ship with them on.  VERY BRIGHT.  and they have any mounting solution you could possibly need.  In stainless.

    So the rigid "dually" style lights (with the 4 LEDS in a square) are plenty to light the back deck? How many do you run, just 2?

    Church Walleye Boards

    Have (6) church walleye boards with tattle flags in great shape. About 2 years old, probably only used a dozen times. Come with tattle flags, all the standard clips and releases plus I made brass rear pins (also have the original plastic ones) and smoothed out every edge on the boards (used them for salmon and didn't want the line to chafe when front clip released).

    Light suggestions for back of boat

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Looking for some suggestions for lighting for the back of my boat, plan on putting some LEDs mounted on my tree style rod holders (tallest thing on my boat) to give me some light for setting lines etc in early morning and after sunset. Looking for something kinda small so they don't get in the way, probably flood light of some sort.

     

    Problem is, these days there are a million LED lights out there so I'm hoping someone can recommend a specific brand that is bright enough for this purpose.

     

    may put a small LED spot light on each side too pointed towards the water so it's easier to see the fish to net then when it's dark but I think I can pick those out easy enough, it's the flood style for lighting up the deck that I'm not sure about

    Big Jon sportsman downriggers

    Selling 2 big Jon sportsman electric down riggers, in great shape well taken care of. Come with Berts track swivel bases for track mount. Also have a spare switch I'll include, always kept one on the boat just in case. Run around $1700 for riggers and bases if you order online and ship and go through all that hassle.

     

    Asking $1200 OBO, I'll throw in 2 12# cannon balls at asking price, however reasonable offers obviously considered. I'm in MI but should be able to unscrew the booms and ship fairly reasonably

    You will be oversized on either one of them,

    That was kind of my thoughts, I've been told a tiara 27 is a great option if I'm doing some trailering but a 29 is too wide. But you need a permit for each and I don't believe you need a pilot car till 12 foot so I'm not seeing the difference between the two

    I don't think the 29 would be considered a trailer boat.
     
    Over the years, I have learned a lot from this site:

    Thanks, it's not something I would trailer daily but I would probably take it from MI to NY in the spring, leave in a slip and bring back to MI in the late summer or fall.

    I guess it's probably best I take it slow and fish Lake O in the ranger this year and if my days on the water are plentiful enough that I think I may want a 27 or 29 to go in a slip out there then start shopping. I'm kinda picky, so maybe it's best I look for an older 27 with good power train and redo the cabin to make it nicer, I dunno maybe more cost effective that way.

    If that 29 was as good of a deal as it initially seemed I didn't want to pass it up without looking into it anyway

    Nothing good there.... an 18 year old boat in salt water will need a new pair of engines ($20k) and most likely a complete rehab of vessel systems ($45k)

    Be very careful with salt inboards

    Down here guys are buying those boats, removing engines and putting multiple outboards on a bracket

    Is this stuff that would be found with a survey or is just typical with salt water boats?

    So...I was planning on holding off on this purchase for a while and wasn't actively looking but couldn't sleep last night and was browsing what's out there.

     

    I found a 1998 tiara 2900 for $35k, 1000 hours on twin 454 mercruisers. It is a salt water boat. Blue book was somewhere between 45 and 55 depending on options and other similar models same age listed were 50-60

     

    Owners are moving out of the country at the end of April and must sell is the story being told.

    Should I have a mechanic look into it just to see or is that far too good to be true and run like hell?

    Hi, Rick Pecci  Dreams Come true charters uses 550 parachute cord to hang them.  Another boat uses peal and stick plastic hooks to hold them thru the solid brass grommets.. Typically two hooks one at each end.
     
    Mikecatt14 if you're interested I could make custom pads for you with Velcro on the pack where you want it. If you're interested.
     
    All sizes are in stock,   I hope this helps.
