Other than the treated wood it looks great.
Do you hunt out of it, Do you have a blind for it or use it to get to you hunting spot?

Nice build! How does the light work out? Thinking of adding one to my boat

Blind will come next year. I priced using AL for the deck and marine board.... way to expensive. Quotes came back over $600 for the three pieces. On this boat used plywood.

Light works excellent. 21 curved LED on Amazon $80. I got the covers from SuperBrightLEDs.com

The copper in the pressure treated wood will corrode the aluminum. Exterior grade plywood is the best choice on an aluminum boat ACX, BCX ect.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know.

I second the above about pressure treated wood on aluminum. Boat looks great though! What green inside lights did you go with?

Side emitting strip LEDs. I encased them in extruded PVC and poly carb shielding. VHB'd it to gunnel. Got em from SuperBrightLEDs.com

Nice job on the boat and really like the lights but would never get away with those hull I.D. numbers here in Florida.

Very clean electrical and compartment work buddy. Looks awesome. I think your dog is ready to hit the lake!

 

[AllOutdoors]

Looks good to me.

Can you elaborate some on how you encased the light strips? I have been looking for ideas of fastening some UV led light strips under the outside of my gunnels for night fishing. If I just put them directly on the under right under the gunnel they would be at a bad angle plus would be very vulnerable to to damage.

I used an extrusion that was slightly larger then the LED strip. The open ends were sealed with silicone and capped will boots from Superbrightleds.com I used side emitting led strips so the light would be directed downward. The extrusion assembly was then VHB taped below the gunnel.

Sweet. Where did you get the extrusions and where they square tubing? This seems like a great idea for what I am wanting to do and may try it myself this spring.
