Flextube Lights are the brighest but they are back ordered. The string lights are a little cheaper so you could buy 2 sets of the string lights and be just as bright as the flextube LEDs.

Nether for me I have 2 Grip ON task light bars that take 4 AA battery's, and that have 72 bright led bulbs in them. I have been using just one for now with the battery's and it is the brightest light ever, and it has a nice hook on it and 3 decent magnets for hanging. The hook has been sweet for hooking on my bucket when I troll the holes at night, and hanging off my poles on the roof of my shack. My eventual plan is to hook them both up together to a 12v vex battery and hang them in my shack. I almost forgot the best part you can find them online at different sights for between 8-14$ a piece.

Frabill light bar, you won't be dissapointed! Plenty of light and tough enough to leave in your portable, takes 6 AA batteries and will run close to 75 hours!

Do you leave the light bar in your portable while not in use? I used the light the other night for the first time and was very pleased with the amount of light. I did bring it in at the end of the trip rather than leave it in the garage (unheated).

Thanks,

I have left my light bar in my shack for the past 2 weeks in the back of my jeep, so yea it's been out in the cold. Everytime I go to use it it seems just as bright as when I put fresh batteries in it. I would be thinking pretty soon it would start dimming down if that's the case I've got to single frail lights on both sides of the sled for back up, and to glow jigs! So far so good with all my frabill products, everything from tip ups to my shack and lights they make good quality products!

South metro,

I also have one of these lights for just around the garage/boat/etc. and they are pretty impressive. Don't remember where I got it but can't seem to find them now, i thought maybe they went out of business. I'll have to look again. If i could find a good way to mount them it would be a good light in the shack.

I recently recived a 48" light from the OPS, and it appears that its gonna be a good light too.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
