FSH Deluxe Sound upgrade and lighting

[Billy Marlin]

They are hopefully finishing up with the rigging on my boat today so I can pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait to get it cause I have a lot of work to determine where to install all my new stuff. I got a 16' roll of red led waterproof lighting off amazon and still have a half roll of bright white. Going to run red up under the sides for any night fishing I want to do and to really spice up the interior look. Ordered a Rockford Fosgate R250x4 that I will have to figure out a mounting spot. Adding 2 Polk MM 651 UM speakers to the swim platform with the Jensen remote. Going to see how it sounds with the factory speakers being pushed by the amp. Will have to make some decisions on where to put any extra switches I need and probably add a couple of power shut offs. Really wanted to get the Kicker KM speakers with LED lights but the price of the Polk's off ebay are too good to pass up on and the MM 651's have a higher salt and water testing.

And the accessories keep on coming!! Can't wait to see the pictures.
I have installed white LED lights in the gunnels, and since then also added 2 more LEDs to the rear platform seat backs.
I tap them into the courtesy light wires, since they are LEDs and all together were pulling less then 1 amp draw.

I will post them up soon as I get them done hopefully this weekend. I went with red so they don't interfere with night vision especially when trying to run the lake at night. Might stick some behind the swim platform seats as well could serve as tail lights.

USCG may have an issue with that one.
I agree about the night vision. I experimented with some blue LED strips around my console...I can't even turn them on when I'm on the water. Good for in the parking lot while unloading stuff into the truck though.
Whatever I do when/(if) I get the new boat, it will be red and subtle.

You are right will probably stick my white leds under the seats in the back. Would look good an provide extra safety when running at night. Plan to do some night bow fishing as well so having some good lights is a must.
