I bought 5 meters (about 16ft) of waterproof LED's and I am thinking about putting them on the inside of my swim platform, I have the older style (non tubular) swim platform and figured the lights shining down into the water would look cool.

I would also like to put 2 lengths down the rails of my trailer, shining "up" towards the boat, but, will have to check with the local police first. If it turns ok and DOESN'T look like a low budget strip joint or 1970's disco bar I will post pics.

89Notch, where all did you run them? Looks like they are just under the side pad at the bottom. Also where did you get them?

That's correct under the side pads. I bought the 300 led 5m strip from parts express

89notch, did you just stick them to the bottom side of the side pad? I am trying to find something that the lights are mounted vertical so I can loosen the pad and sandwich it behind them and the hull.

Really, so they are actually shining outwards but once you cover them up they shine down thru the gap?

Look for the Siide Emitting lite style:
