Is the metal bar the lights are mounted to, part of the Monster Tower bracket? Are they the speaker brackets?

liquidcat,

Do you have a link to those lights, were did you get them. Also how far does it project the light away from the boat ?

The metal bar is part of the speaker brackets by Monster Tower.

Light Projection- about 80 Feet 180 degrees when all four are on

How much do they normally cost? It doesnt seem like 275 is much saving over buying them. I prefer the redneck method. Buy 2 of those humongous flashlights, like 10 million candle power and hang them buy string. The flash lights are like 30 bucks each. Thats cheap.

check it out for something very similar http://www.wakeboat.com/catalog/detail.lasso?cat=47&man=Titan&sku=TI_deo32

Were talking about 659 plus S&H.

I guess its just personal preference
