Got a 1436 for flounder gigging and needed to put a deck on it...I have added lights to the trailer and am going to add the guide ons like I have seen here using the ladder stabilizer and pvc...I have taken the deck off to spray it with bed liner so i don't have a picture of it with the lights mounted...
It was wired already for flounder lights so I decided to take full advantage of that ...here are the pics...I'll post again once I get it painted with the lights on it...
Light hookups:
one of the three aluminum tubes used for the deck platform:
Side view showing aluminum tube and 5/8" plywood deck:
Top of deck...waiting on cordless battery to recharge so I can screw it down:
Switches to turn flounder lights on/off...lights were done using quick disconnects so I can take them off the boat for wade gigging...and to make it easier to transport them to and from without worrying about them rolling around in the boat:
I am looking for a 3.5 or 4 hp outboard to get me across channels and to add a little more weight to the back of the boat...it should help stabilize it a bit more...although I was quite impressed with how stable it is without a motor...this is a one person gigging boat...I won't be taking anyone in it unless its just to get us to a large flat to wade gig...its no where near large enough to fit two people on the front and not take a swim...
Also wanted to say thanks to everyone here...I just registered tonight but have been lurking for months...its with all the posts here that helped me get this done...
