With the cooler weather here in Fla and the no seeums dying. I'm getting the skiff ready for some nite time action. Just installed new LED lights in the cockpit and in the livewell. Gonna put the hurt on the snook real soon.

That looks really good

Don't light up in the top secret spots or all your buds will know where your catching from across the bay.

I will. Yes. And one of her friends for you as long as you put me on some snook.

Have never seen a boat like that. Looks great with the lights.
Stupid question, is that a steering wheel way in the back or am I missing the tiller?
How long is it?

It's a Flamingo skiff made in 1985so I'm told..17' with a 1997 20hp merc that I had reworked bored out and propped. She runs like a scalded cat, 35mph by the handheld GPS. She has 2 livewells, built in 12 gal fuel tank. I don't pole it but sit on the platform and steer with my foot searching the flats. She drifts great and true, so I never put a trolling motor on her. I have a little Odessy AGM battery that runs the lights and pumps for 10 hrs with juice left over. She drifts shallow but still needs a jackplate.

Nice rig, I fish alone a lot during the winter. That's so open I could keep warm running from front to back.
