Well i went this weekend. I was hoping to see more big boats but i guess the economy and winter keeps them away. Maybe i can get out to the Miami show since I'm traveling for work that week down there.

I took a few shots with my phone, i was most impressed with the classics from the restoration club.

This was my first ever boat show. The princess yaght was by appointment only, that kind of stinks. I did spend time going through the Cruiser Yaghts, they are sure nice. I have some GREAT ideas for my Trojan now. :)

Enjoy.

I'm looking for some LED lighting to put on the boat.

1. Swim Platform, underneath.

2. Back Deck. Along the transome wall on the deck there are 2 sheets cover board. I was thinking of installing 2 of these one on each side to light up the back deck at night.

Then also on the bridge along each side. One or two on each side.

Anyone done any LED lighting on their boat to share?
