it’s not terrible loud but just the continuous sound of it seems to get to ya a little bit.

I was being a little sarcastic about the ear plugs LOL

Looking good!

I did went all around the perimeter of the bilge on the 311. I used a kit meant to put LEDs under cars.... has worked really well for the last seven years (only had one tube go out - had backups). Only thing was that it needed to run with a specific controller, but the controller does all kinds of stuff and has a remote.

I'll probably do something similar with the Bullet.

Also... glad you're okay from that hatch falling on you! They are stupid heavy!

I used to run these on my rock crawlers many years ago. They have an unbeatable warranty “ unvoidable “ as they say! Simple control box with + / - connection simple to the battery and controlled by a remote ( see photo of remote for all the different colors).

local small business near me sells them at a great price as well. If anyone wants the number let me know and I will pass it along tell them I sent you!

the photos above with the red on are just the two small strip pieces turned on. I’m going to add 2 of the oval shaped ones somewhere in there not sure where yet though.

you can either screw these on or double sided tape for the oval ones and for the strip ones they are double sided tape but I’m sure one someone could rig something up if they didn’t like tape.

You did a great job. I love the simple, clean graphics. You can be proud you brought this great boat back to where she deserves to be.
