    Put these on my boat and they do a good job...rated for 3000 lumens each...your setup should light burn out thre retinas of every critter in the immediate area!

    Nice...would like to see more pics...in down position. I made my blind all one height which of course creates some overhang up front when in down position, not an issue other than lookin' a little funny. I didn't get fancy with attachment yet...has a rectangle EMT base which I then clamp in...

    Haven't really had it out by myself and had at it...been really low speed in creeks in small rivers so far with another person along. Strange...my boat doesn't have these holes/plugs. :-k Since then I have gotten a 12ft graphite push pole and a bimini top...

    Wow, my Grandfather had the same boat...he took me out lake fishing all the time when I was little. Caught many a giant catfish in it...at least they looked giant to me at the time. :roll:

    2002 Alumacraft MV 1544 AW Makeover

    Guess I'm in the ball park then...two big guys with fishing gear got 20mph. Set guy in middle of boat instead of up front... figured it would help. My motor has hydrofoil, don't know how that's affecting it....going to remove that and play around this weekend with tilt settings. Pondering...

    Nice setup...I have an alumacrat 1546 modv with same pods that I just put a 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke on...I assume your boat is similar in weight to mine so was wondering what kinda speed are you getting? Have had mine out once so haven't really had a chance to play with settings yet.

    Yep...in Melbourne...and am interested. BTW, how do you like your boat? You just fish out of it or hunt as well? Have any pics? Thanks

    Nice...like the yeti...what size is that? You happy with your motor? Looking around for a used motor...2 stroke of some kind. Don't want to be running my mud motor around in the salt.

    Good job...cutting to the contour of the floor couldn't have been easy. Going in for a few mods in a couple of weeks. Definitely going with a removable grab bar and getting some seadek or hydroturf.

    The trip was about 25 miles round trip and it got real unconfortable sitting on that bench driving the mudmotor so I think I may try cutting the center out of the bench for more leg room and adding a grab bar so I can stand. Was also thinking that I can raise the drop deck and move the battery...

    Nice idea with the hatch! Went on a run with a few mudboaters Sunday on the St Johns...my first outing with guys that know what there doing...see my boat in the background on second pic

    If you are hanging heavier camo on blind may want to go 3/4...I went real light on mine...a layer of cheap nylon camo and military netting...then cut vegetation when I get out there.

    Built a scissor blind for mine out of 1/2" EMT. Took a chance on the 1/2" being too thin but it worked out OK. Clamp it to the boat with hand clamps. Very simple design and is very light, no welding. Lasted the season but I didn't beat on it.

    Wow...look forward to seeing you mods...especially the hatch in the bow, not much room up there. Looking for a place to put second battery to power a bow mounted trolling motor. Looking into a grab bar but haven't figured out a way to attach it yet...having no side ribs makes it difficult...
