about two weeks ago i hit a stump on the last run as it was getting dark,sucked!!! bent the prop and the drive shaft (i think it was the drive shaft) anyways, we got picked up by my buddy who lives near the lake at the closest ramp, but there were no lights at all pitch black, it was so hard to see where the hell we were going... so basically im getting lights, i was thinking about the skylon mini's because i dont know what else will fit inbetween the speakers, but do they look cheap because you can see the wires and they are on two levels, id rather they be flush you know like there not even there, any suggestions. thanks

What about a light bar that is on a single level, pointing forward and back?
How handy are you? You can make your own as well, they are not that hard.

send me an email.....acurtis_ttu@yahoo.com
I've got a manual on how to build a cheap light bar....looks exactly like the supra GG bars but under $200.

If I mail you the manual , all I ask is that you buy the bar I boght to moutn the lights too. I bought it and never started on the project. I'll sale it for the price I paid...around $20. The bar is set-up for 4 lights.

Just a FYI Monster do a nice low profile light bar for about 350 bucks.. might be worth looking into but there are ALOT in the market to check out. Fusion also make some good stuff.

For flush mounting its going to have to be custom.. unless you can get hold of some MC ones.. but you're tower tube will have to be the same to retro fit - what tower do you have?

You could also put it on top of the tower instead of hanging it. It looks good on top to me just my .02

Check out the picture at http://monstertower.com/images/LightBarandSpeakers1200.jpg

I like them on one level and have 4 forwards and 4 rear. Definatley not for night riding but they are great for docking at night when there are not lights around. Pretty easy to build your own as well, check out http://monstertower.com/images/Monster_Tower_Lights_300.jpg and www.diytower.com for ideas.

And a flashlight is still needed Very Happy

Old topic but for anyone who reads this, at my lake it is illegal to run around the lake with your docking lights on because it blinds every other boater out there. You can use them to dock but not like headlights in a car. Just a heads up.
