[QUOTE="KenG, post: 101882, member: 778"] huntinfool: Got a picture of your boat you could post? I don't have a front light, but plan to mount a socket for a 12" tall one so it can be seen over the trolling motor. When you say you don't have the front seat anymore, do you mean the middle seat with the built-in livewell? I am thinking about taking this seat out but don't want to give up the livewell since it has a drain through the hull. I did a quick search and found this article on poor man's alumilite: [url]https://auction.signindustry.com/tips/tips/011900-makeshiftalumilite.php3[/url] and this for pricing: [url]https://www.rhino-graphics.com/signs/alumilite.html[/url] seems a little high cost to me, as a 4 x 8 sheet would be about $1000. It would be cheaper to use solid aluminum. Also, I'd be concerned about how will it stands up to being standed on. All I found on the web was that it is a great material for signs that hang vertically and don't have anyone standing on them. Anybody got experience with this stuff? Ken [/QUOTE]
