I love it

Oh yeah it is just a thought but i was thinking and if you made a trim piece or something that would go on top of the light strips so you can't see the lights directly but allow them to shine on the fllor and the sides of the seat. Just a thought

I would stop this insanity now !! LED addiction will just leed you to abuse of heavier things such as HID and nuclear fusion.

Yea I know. LOL I started playing with it this weekend and I got close. The plexy peice didn't want to co-oporate and fit into the curve the way I liked. The curve in the open bow is tricky. Not only dose it curve around it has a angle to it. And if the peice dosent sit flat against the fibergalss there is a chance of water getting into the back side of the LED strip so it needed to sit flat. I broke one tring to get it to fit I wasted like 4 hrs making one and I felt defeted. I almost just said "you got enough lights you dont need any more" but then I was like Im not gonna let this this get the bet of me. I had all ready made the form to bend it so I just neede'd to tackle it one more time here is a pic of my first attempt, Woop's

Grant...NASA would like you to stop. They can see you boat from outer space and frankly it's interfering with the astronauts ability to sleep.

Nice Job, Grant!!! I hope you dont run out of places for LED's. Then you will have to buy a new boat....

Hey Grant, let us have an updated shot of the whole boat.

Thats major pimp right there. You should figure out how to make your own rubrail around the boat w/ LED's in it. that would be awesome.

Yo G. you need to change the name from boatbeats to addicted to LED's.com

(grant_west) · (grant_west) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 02-15-2006, 2:48 PM

Yea we will see. All you guys saying Im LED crazy (your correct) with all these LED's. Im just a bit ahead of you. This time next year everyone will be Glowin!

Time on the boat at night, I would say in the summer we are on the water after dark almost every night. Late night tie up partys on the water are off the hook, Sub's pumpin, Lights glowin, LCD screans playing video's dancing.

2 summers ago we had 4 Boats My Boat, Harolds SAN, Clay's BU, Judes MC and like 20 people in our own flo-tilla we were RCA linked together Boomin music till like 2:30 in the moring. Off the hook. Night time on the boat is awesome

Where is the love for the 209 in the flo-tilla, damn, don't hate.

Damn Jason, The Fat Kid always needs to eat! Your boat wasnt blingin yet, I think that night is what made you want to get your stereo installed, you had 4 6.5s and one 10, Now your boomin!

(phatboypimp) · (phatboypimp) **Join Date: Apr 2005** 02-16-2006, 11:08 AM

I believe you are right Clay, that was the day I had to step up and join the Bling crowd. Best move I ever made.

(joshugan) · (joshugan) **Join Date: Apr 2005** 02-16-2006, 12:22 PM

Grant, your stuff is amazing! Check that! You're stuff is sublime!!! I'll bet you could get far more than you paid for it if you ever wanted to sell.

quick post hijack: Car, you have the best looking SAN I have ever seen color wise! Will you sell it to me in 3 years when I'm out of school?

(super_air) · (super_air) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 02-16-2006, 12:45 PM

Josh- Thanks a lot! I am pretty partial to it right now but you never know 3 years down the road,and since it is in Grant's shop right now getting the bling treatment done you are going to want it even more.

After Grant's finsihed with your boat there's no way I'd be able to afford it! Something to dream for though.

Oooo... imagining Grant's work on your boat almost gave me an Airgasm.
