Next year I will be in the gigging business!!! Today, I picked up a 12 ft. V-hull boat. Its Great!!! This, with my bonedry waders, I'll be the favorite to will next years grub/gig challenge. I need a 15 horse motor and a trailer.

Good luck with the new boat! with it being a V bottom its gonna draw more water then a flat bottom though.

Thanks NavySnooker but I'm not going to to much to it. I'm going to put a 15 on the back and get a trailer. As for flounder lights, not sure what kind of set up I'm going to use. Any suggestions anybody?

There was a thread on here a while back where everyone was showing their rigs. Let me see if I can find it for you. A few for your reading pleasure.

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.

Yep Yep Finz! We will figure something out. I do like your idea about keeping the lights above water. Right now I need the motor so I can hit some lights back in the bayou for specks, reds. Its just a little 12ft aluminum V but its perfect for what I do. I'll be in touch.
