I used a kit from blue water led as well. Not all that hard to install and really lights up the boat!! Feel free to pm with any questions. Thanks!

I used the 5050 LED strips from eBay it was a breeze to install and I'm really happy with the outcome and it only cost me $18

I also went the cheaper eBay route. I was able to buy stick on strips as long as I wanted so it is all lit with no bright/dark areas. I have 3 sections with 3 switches so they can be on where I need them and not have them all on at once. I have a switch on the bow panel for the deck lights when I want to see. A switch on the console for the passenger area with white LEDs so when looking at lure colors I can see them correctly. and a switch behind the back seat for the rear deck lights so a passenger can control their lights as they need them. I even swapped out my gauge bulbs with matching blue LED lights. I think I spent under $50 and did them 3 years ago and have had no issues with them.

i did my skeeter bass boat with deck leds it looked cool but it dam near blinded me i had a dimmer switch i would have to turn it way down to the point the were not bright enough to do anything the out side rubbrail lights were some help when fishing for cats at night i could see my cork next to the boat but gain i would not do it to anymore of my boats in my option but anyone who does want them you can get them off amazon and do it your self really cheap. i just would not do it again just make sure you put a dimmer switch it is a must in my option oh and the bugs were horrific even thou they were blue lights. strips on the rub rails did not seem to attract them as bad but still were pretty bad I now have a center concel and tough about putting 2 white ones on a dimmer so i can see just well enough to tie hooks and stuff but i just dont fish enough at night

Is it better to use the flat strips of led or the screw in lights? I found that the 3m 2sided tape it looks like foam tape works wonderfully for mounting the strips just just trim it in half to make it narrower on role with do a 17ft boat if you cut it in half and it is supper sticky holds up to water and every thing you can through at it no screw holes
