Default 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.

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.

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)

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??

Default 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
