I've got a 21' Canyon Bay flats boat with a trolling motor forward. Looking for ideas on how to best put some lights on the boat.
My idea is to have a casting platform built forward, then attach temporary legs out from say, rodholders attached to the platform. That can be removed easily.
A question though. Is the trolling motor on the bow necessary? Or do you guys creep along on your outboard way tipped up and at idle. Is a push pole a better idea?
The trolling motor seems easiest, but it might be a pain to build around. It does have a quick release to get it off the bow easily.
Wondering the best approach to adding lights (temporarily), and the easiest propulsion system.
I'll be using a Honda 2000. What's the best light combo to use?
Thanks,
Jim
