Hey DeadEye....Congrats on the boat....try to get a pic up of it so we get an idea of a setup. I prefer the bow mounted lights for the places i go...them underwater ones seem to hit bottom and rocks too much. With above i seem to be able to see alot farther in the shallows. Underwater probably good for water thats not too clear. I can make you a setup like mine if you like...you seen it...you know it will light up half the pass

With a little boat like that...stick with Batteries instead of a gen.
