Post Boat headlights
Not bad for a rookie with a 115v welder ay? I hated the glare from lights mounted on the bow.

I think the flush mount lights would look the best, but I'm guessing I would regret not having any way to adjust them.
So yes, I think I'm going with the Duallys. just finished the job tonight. will make my order tomorrow.

I like it, I was thinking of doing something similar but putting a plexiglass cover over it.

I would recommend the Dually spot beams. If you place the flood beams in there you lose half of your light output by having one side blocked, thus resulting in spending twice the amount of money for half of the light.

There's a bunch of guys from 'round my parts that have always rigged up headlights on their 'traditional' mudboats that way. Talk about light up a canal..
