Must be nice. Of course I am looking forward to the 3 to 4 inches of snowing coming the next 2 days. Makes it look more like Christmas time.

I want these lights .... but $599. I think 10 Oznium's $18 lights would be brighter.... but these are pretty nice. I want some to point out and some to point under the boat.
what are we missing... why is everyone's underwater lights almost $1000 or more and Ozniums's are so cheap.

Its all based off what people are willing to pay and who you market to. The fancy lights like those you posted along with Abyss, Wakemagic, OceanLED, are all tailored specifically as boat wake lights. Oznium is sold as a waterproof LED. People took it on as a project to make them work. For me the proof is in the members here who have used them and had great results. I hope to be doing an LED project over the winter.

I dont know what lumens are. I was thinking about putting 8 of the green Oznium's on the back of my stern which equel 4200 Lumens total. now one light from rebel designs of the AR12 is 5680 lumens all in the same spot.

I am just trying to get all the info I need before drilling holes.

Now these for $139 seem pretty nice also. I already bought 4 spot lights for the Rear of the boat and superflux's for inside. I may need to get 2 of these to point under the boat.

Most people use epoxy to seal them. More specifically I plan to use 3M 5200 Quikset epoxy.

a start
here is a start on my Mods
4 green spots
8 LED's
2 green led switches
Alpine speakers
I still need a radio and more LED's. Maybe a small amp and a woofer.

Sounds like a great start. Be sure to post up some pics when you work on it. If you have any questions we are here to help!!

If you mean that its hard to post pics because the file size is too big... try a windows powertoy called Image Resizer. It builds itself into the shell's right click menu, so you just right click a file (or multiple select a bunch), and click "resize photo(s)". Then it asks you what size (i use medium) and it creates a new smaller file next to your original.
If you have win XP, get it here -

Win Vista -

Win 7 -

I've been using all 3 versions, and it makes sending files really easy
I just upload straight to photobucket and then post here with their links.Makes it very easy.

Stereo install
Well finished some of the Winter Mods I was doing to the boat....
The install went smoother than I had expected. I use to install car stereos when I was in University about 10 years ago, so it has been a while. But everything turned out clean and tight !!!
Here we go...
1) Installed an ALPINE CDA-9886 head unit with in Marine rated housing with "water proof" case...
2&3) Have so far installed two (of the 4) PIONEER TS-MR2040 8 inch speakers (marine rated) .......may not install the other two.....VERY LOUD!!!
4) Installed an ALPINE PDX-5 amp...more than enough power to supply all the speakers I MIGHT eventually put in.
5) Ran 2 seperate cables to the front storage compartment. One for the IPOD and one for USB...
I have a couple more things to to install that aren't stereo related and will post when they are finished too....:cheers:

89X 88.7 on the radio. NICE
Looks great. How did you mount the amp like that? Did you drill holes and put bolts behind the seats?

Amp
Yes Thanks...
I did exactly that. That was the easy part. Setting the amp up was the real issue. The gains on the unit were very sensitive and required about an hour of cranking it up and down to balance the system from a weak input signal during bass runs. It drops down to 10 hz nicely on the bass runs, and gives me really good transient response on the alternative music. I still have the extra speakers I haven't installed yet, may just have to go back.....we'll see. But for the amp...suprisingly exceptional unit!

Yeah it took some tweaking for me too. I have the same amp, just the marine version. It really is the best all around amp for running a complete system. Good Choice!! :cheers:
Exactly what he said. Before you cut, cover the area with tape so you dont mark up the gel cote. I use the blue painters tape. Conveniently, most 6.5's require a 5 inch hole. I use a 5" hole saw bought in a kit at harbor freight for like 8 bucks. That and a corded drill and you are done in 5 minutes. Drill the holes and use stainless bolts. Wire it up and you are done.
