I purchased two waterproof LED light strips on Amazon and installed them under the interior rail of my Bass Tracker PT185. The lights, switch, and all misc hardware cost me less than $25 and about 2hrs to install. I think the results are awesome and can't wait to use them!

The LED strips ship in a roll (they're pliable) and have 3M tape on the backside so you simply peel the backing, stick them to whatever surface you want and cut them to length. Wiring is pretty simple. I'm stoked! :Thumbs Up:

Yes they are great lights, the only negative is in hot weather the 3m doesn't hold, so I applied silicon adhesive and they made it through my week long Laughlin trip with the weather at 106 to 111. You can also find a remote control for the lights about 5 bucks and work geat. Mine have been holding up for a month and a half now. Good luck

Thanks for the feedback, Chad88. I read something similar in the reviews and anticipate having to do the same.
