V20 upgrade- leds rodboxes seats and more
 

Hey guys I decided to put some work into the V. So far I have replaced the rod boxes, ripped out an old back to back ski boat seat, and added LEDs underwater and in cabin and rod boxes. Oh yeah and rewired everything in the boat and added two blue sea fuse blocks(st blade) and a new blue sea waterproof switch panel.

What's left to do is find a seat the same size as the captain chair. I ordered two and they are way too small. I also will installing a 12'' lowrance unit with side/down imaging. And I'm fixing the damaged area on stern at the starboard side and nicks and screw holes from yesteryears. Then a good polishing. Here are pics so far......

Looking Great! Those lights resemble some kind of alien spacecraft.

Where did you get the rod boxws? Mine need some attention and I have yet to decide what to do with them.

I went with Off white and it looks great. 49" is just long enough that the lip covers the old teak trim screw holes. Quality and constructions is nice. I like them.

The LED's are from Coastal Night Lights. They are super bright.

Nice work

I like the lights installed in the rod box, I may borrow that idea.

Is the $177 for a pair, or does flounder pounder sell them individually? SSI sells them in pairs, and they go for double the price (some models even more than double)

Looks good man!! It also looks like mama was sandin while you were doin all the pic takin and beer drinkin.....I applaud you sir:clap:

I have the captains seat out of mine still... It looks identical to the one in your pic... Pay the shipping and shes yours. PM me if you want it.

Did you mount the led inside the new box? Where did you feed the wire? Does the led change color ie , back to white? That is off white??

Rod Boxes
 

Those things are sweet! I am going to order mine today! I will keep the old worn teak ones for a later project then sell. I like the lights, but are too much $$ probably find cheaper on flebay

Rod Box
 

Just found a pair on ebay for $299 with free shipping(bought them) it included free shipping. Flounder pounder was almost $150 more with shipping for the pair....

led
 

Can you tell me where you got the led and model # .They seem like they are very bright Thanks pansof5

My rod boxes arrived today... very excited to install once the weather breaks!!! You can buy leds on ebay cheaper .. just saying.. read all the details/fine line though

LED's for those who fish / dive / etc at night ........

Up here in cold NJ, not that useful unless I'm missing something.

Nice looking for sure, and likely much better than blinding white light from spots.

Underwater LEd's are good for fish/bait attraction at night... Do squid fish.?

Watched from Ridgerunners(FL) sweet CC V20 one night as Capt Pete(NJ) ran across Charleston Harbor SC w/lights on...man it looked like his boat was cruisin' across the water on a cloud of light...:party:

Nice Lights
 

Your boat looked how my V 20 looked before I converted to center console

Very cool, you will love them, I love mine....
