Well here is my boat, it's a 1650 Ouachita jon boat with a 25hp Merc motor. The flooring and deck is covered with herculiner bedliner. I am running 2-150 watt hps lights along with 4 300 watt halogens for night fishing. It has a 55# minnkota troller with an Iota convertor, all that is powered off of  a 3500 watt generator.

Here is my Lowe 1648 Mod. V. I have 6 - 150 watt HPS lights on it run to a remote box. All powered by a honda 2000watt inverter genny. I have a Minn Kota 55 lb. thrust trolling motor on the front and run by a Johnson 25 hp outboard, but changed out to a Nissan 9.9 out board for some of the restricted lakes in my area.

I know this is off subject a bit but...... I am working on a new reflector design to put in the 150 HPS to eliminate alot of the light spilling up in the air and redirecting it on to the water. I figure 50% is shot up in the air due to original placement of the reflector, Since I know a guy..... ahem... that can get awesome reflective material, I figure I may as well figure it out. Hopefully get a little further with it this week and get some photos on.  Thumbs Up

Here is my rig....2003 1860 F&F with a 90hp Yamaha.  Last year I switched from the halo's to HPS and glad I did it (nothing finer than a Honda EU2000 running all the lights).  I also upgraded to a Minnkota 101!

Here's mine it ain't much but it gets the barrels full. It has a deep flat bottom and drafts high compared to newer boats that are v-hull. It is a late 50's early 60's chrestliner was runabout but has bean modified to bowfishing. It only fishes two on the platform.
