Great rig. Everything you need at your fingertips. I really like the blue foam noodle on the spider post, is that the knee protector? I have a 16' Triton with a 30 HP tiller. I love it, my wife hates it. She calls it my "grumpy old man boat." Not fancy but it is a fishing boat.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. The lights were bought off Amazon for about $12 a 15' strip (do a search for 600 LED light strip). I did one strip each side. Used gorilla glue (water activated and water proof when dry). Used tape to hold it while glue dried. Hooked pos and neg of each wire directly to batt. Good to go. You can get color lights also if you want. PM me for more info if you need it.
I use the foam for jigs and hooks and didn't think about the knee pad but it will work for that too! LOL
Don't know if you can make it out but I have 10 rod holders around the inside of boat. Two Bee-Ready rod holders for four rods each (I can move to four different spots on boat with spare bases). I have 6 rods behind cooler rigged for minnows and 6 10' rods on other side rigged for trolling. I also have 2 other small jigging ultra light rods with the trolling rods. That's a total of 18 rod holders and 14 rods to fish with on any given outing...I am spoiled huh...LOL

I love going through these pics once in a while because it shows me that crappie people are some of the best down to earth, inovative people on the water and they love THEIR boats ! You see everything from canoes to salt water boats, from brand new to 40 years old and no body looks down their nose at you because you dont have a 70k boat like some other species boards !

Lets go catch some
