I have 2 - 12v 1000watt Halogen lights that need to be welded onto the front of my flounder boat today. All I need is someone to come over and help me fab up 2 brackets to weld onto my boat and then install lights. I already have some unistrut and other materials on hand. Need to get this done today, so please PM me ASAP.

Thanks in advance

How are they going to weld it at your house? Do you have an aluminum welding rig or aluminum mig ? Thats pretty much something you have to take somewhere. Not everyone has an aluminum rig on the back of their truck, steel yes, aluminum no. Just saying bro.

yes IMS, my boat is already hooked up to my truck and waiting on a phone call from a welder... I need to get this done today, are you available to help me out ?? I hear that you are one of the best welders around these parts. I can send you some pics of the brackets that I have in mind. I have talked with all of my commercial flounder buddies and they all say the same thing. 2" bracket is the way to go. If you get a min go check out sonnysmarinepoc.com and look at the flounder boats this guy builds. I already talked with Sonny and that's the only way to go.

I would love to help you out today but I'm in a 9 line bind . Tomorrow I have eye exams and that's going to ruin my day with eyes being dilated.
Those are very simple brackets. Seems like Bluestreak would zap em on there for a good price but I can't speak for them. You just caught me at a bad time for work sir.

Thanks Paris, but I went ahead and fabricated up a temp job for the weekend. I might take you up on your offer though as I will definitely be gettin the permanent brackets welded on probably on Monday. I will give you a call later on this evening to discuss this small project.

Here's a pic of what I fab'd up yesterday evening, Note: I still have to finish running my wires to the battery, angle them in the position I desire when I get out on the water, and change up a setting on my alternator, but the temp job is almost completed Very Happy

Here's a pic
