As for the light rail I think I'm goin to go with 1/4" flat bar with counter sunk bolts on the underside to mount the lights and since my boat is a square nose i will only have 2 pivot points to deal with (considering just welding the 2 joints)
then where the two ends stop towards the rear of the front deck I will weld the unistrut to the flat bar and use that as a clamp (if I can make the unistrut work) and if not I will fashion a clamp out of scraps. Thanks for all the help guys this site is awesome!

Sadly they're not made in the U.S. but they work great regardless. They are 20w LEDs I got off of eBay for around 40 a piece. I use the 12v ones but the 120v ones are even cheaper
Xpress_442 said:Lol I see your point, I use the 12v versions. I can run 3 of them off of one 12v battery for 3 or 4 nights in a row no problem. They are green so they penetrate the water really well and the area of light you actually see is like 8' around but the distance you can see the fish is much more than that
