Perfect. We finally summed up the ambiguity. External lights used intermittently...legal External lights used constantly...illegal Great info everyone, thanks for helping clear it all up. I was talking with our Sheriff and Congressman at lunch today and completely forgot to ask him how they...

Well...that could be a problem, ha. Do you duck hunt? How is the duck hunting in Texas?

Aside from the refuges...it's the best place around. Great thing about the delta is you can cruise it all day looking for a good flyway then don't have to worry much about other people because its such a large place. If you get into duck hunting the delta let me know. I can point you to some...

Blake... I think you would be better off asking this question at duckhuntingchat, those guys run every type of light you could imagine. A lot of duck hunters put $9 lights from harbor freight on their boat and swear by them. They do that because their lights take quite a beating during a...

Quackrstackr Thanks again for that. If you hear the outcome of the court decision, you will post that for us too. From what I read, I think your right concerning spotlights. I am trying to talk to our Fish and Game Department to make sure that wouldn't be viewed as "spotlighting" for game...

“The Rules concerning lights shall be complied with from sunset to sunrise, and during such times no other lights shall be exhibited, except such lights which cannot be mistaken for the lights specified in these Rules or do not impair their visibility or distinctive character, or interfere with...

Personally...I can care less if my boat had or didn't have external lights...although it is necessary for me in certain situation to have them. I am also confident that the law I quoted before you which came from the same source says external lights are fine. What I don't like is people...

If your external lights, which law states are okay to have, do not break the two elements, then they are legal. The law specifically stated that, and as you said, is clear on that matter. 1) You are assuming the external lights are white, they don't have to be white. Lets say, Xenon HID...

Thanks for that. I am still searching for California laws as nobody seems to really know for sure. Once fish and game gets back to me on the legality of the issue I will let everyone know what they say. I definitely don't want a ticket. I also definitely need lights at times during duck...

So this law still does not exclude "head lights" or any other outward light which does not do one of the 2 things I stated earlier. 1) cannot be mistaken for Nav lights 2) cannot impair others vision So correct me if I am wrong but according to the law...external lights are perfectly fine...

Bump for this one... Thanks for the references. I checked as much as I could and there seems to be no laws stating what most say here concerning headlights, at least not in California. If someone has a law they can quote, that would be much appreciated. Virtually every duck boat I see...

Why do so many duck boats come with head lights if they are illegal? I'm in California and it seems like every duck boat has head lights. Where could I find the law code on this for California?

What are the legal issues?

I what paint and color did you use?

The paint was Rustoleum black primer, Rustoleum metallic black and Rustoleum clear coat. I decreased then sanded everything due to it being painted previously. If you have factory paint, use a wipe on deglosser instead of sanding, it's much faster. Important thing. Follow paint instructions...

The 25hp Johnson had been great. My top end speed by GPS is at 27.9 mph...just can't seem to break 28 lol. Personally I would like a little faster, maybe 35hp but that would be fast enough. It's been a great motor. I can plane fast with 4 adults in the boat, no problem.

I had a large roll of Velcro strips. I just cut 4" pieces and drilled them into the wood/carpet. The Velcro holds a lot of weight. Longer strips will hold my shotgun and rifle. I will take a picture later when I get a chance.

The boat is just about finalized for the summer then I will work on the blind for duck season. Here is the update: Finished all the carpet which turned out great! Added a dog ladder for the pup. Painted the motor :) (Before and After) And...caught some fish!

The color is HIGH TEA - SW6159 from Sherwin Williams.
