Cleaned all the snow off the cover.

Nothin yet. Hopefully I'll get it out this week and start getting it ready.

Finally got it into the garage. Gonna get the fish finder rigged up and put in a new bilge pump. Then I gotta get to work on this platform and order some lights.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Fish finder is all hooked up.

16 foot long and 4 foot wide. Comes to a v in the front that takes up about 18 inches though.

got snowed out yesterday.

This part is really starting to suck. We are making I've again instead of it going away. Hopefully it will break soon.

I got mine all rigged for perch fishing now and I'm starting on the platform tomorrow.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Decided to go the cheaper route on my platform and use wood instead of aluminum. Got the frame all done. Just need to put the plywood on and paint. Them make a rail and get the lights wired up. Should be ready to go by mid April.

 

[NuffDaddy]

What kind of paint are you going to use?

I have some leftover maxbond exterior paint from when I painted my boat for the duck. The rails are going to be sprayed with spray on bed liner.

Got the plywood put on today.

 

[NuffDaddy]

It's going to have 4 bolts that run through the gunnels.

Built a sexy stick and wired some lights up

Pictures?

Looks good. :thumbsu: wish I could afford an aluminum platform.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Thanks, It does get expensive. We had around 650 in materials for this guys boat minus the lights.

I'm hoping to have around $300-$350 in my platform with 4 150w HPS.

I'm hoping to have around $300-$350 in my platform with 4 150w HPS.

That should be a good setup. I think 11 HPS lights are a little overkill. If it was my boat i would hae built a shooting deck for the back and ran some lights back there.

I'm eventually hoping to have 6-8 or them. But I'm going to start with 4 and see how it covers. Ive been shooting over 4 500w halos for the past few years so I think I'll be happy.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Got the rails bent. Just gotta paint and rig up lights now.
