I see this being a huge new trend in the performance boat market...Pretty cool!

[Tank]

LED Rubrail? Looks pretty slick actually. I know Poon-toons already did it but I'd never seen big CC's or especially performance boats doing it...YET. Deep Impact just released this though. Looks good.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Yep, that will catch on quick.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Very cool, just cant use it in Havasu.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Looks awesome too bad it's illegal.

 

[2Driver]

I think it looks pretty cool.

That said, I’ve never seen a LED that is tremendously resilient, and it would look goofy if it developed blank sections. Crap I won’t even buy a ceiling fan if the LED is built in.

 

[Mandelon]

Looks Cool. We call it the "Hey Officer, Please come stop me" light. Maybe if one side was green and one side was red.... LOL

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

That will last in the 120 dry heat for sure.

Neat idea. if it was integrated into the lines of the gel design it could look pretty cool.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Can we now legally display blue lights from a boat?

Yes
On the trailer in your driveway during daylight hours.

Having had buddies in the low rider and mini truck crowd, I did some odd projects. One was embedding led's into a fiberglass panel, sanding them smooth, and painting over them. The back lighting was to highlight a design, and worked pretty well. This was 20 years ago, and the available components were nowhere near as good as the stuff now.

 

[WYRD]

Does led rope light make superior rub rail?

 

[attitude]

Caps will now be a thing of the past

 

[H20 Toie]

I like it

 

[WhatExit?]

If it was really cool you could change the colors and programs and have the lights blink and dance

[pwerwagn]

A bit Ricer, if you ask me. But to each his own, I guess.

 

[Bigbore500r]

I would break that the 1st time out lol.....
Looks cool though!

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Me and docks are getting along a lot better these days at least

 

[mbrown2]

Looks a bit pep boyish....Its like when Jeeps started adding LED bars...it jumps the shark at some point.

We have to dock against some pretty strong current on the river, when the water is flowing high. The rub rail ends up getting a beating sometimes despite our attempts to keep it "gentle"

 

[RiverDave]

Love the new Deep Impacts!

Someone told me Tim Gallagher left MTI and went to Deep Impact. Was kind of surprised to hear that.

You should actually wrap the NEW DOCK EXTENSION in this stuff!

Yep, couple weeks ago. Went over as General Manager. I swear, Tim just keeps on climbing the ladder. I remember when he was with Cigarette nearly 15 years ago. Good dude. Mike Grifiths went back to Mercury from MTI as well.

 

[Kachina26]

Not a fan. People use these under way and it obscures the nav lights. Rates right up there with "headlights".

 

[lakemadness]

Agreed. Cheesey...

 

[Bpracing1127]

I think it’s cool but will not last in Havasu at all. Leds do fail and having a dark spot looks goofy. Then there is the whole legal argument

 

[Tank]

I know the blue lights on the boats are a no-no, especially in Havasu. Is it just underway though, or all the time. I think it would be cool all lit up at the dock. Not running at night across the lake. But maybe drifting in the middle of the lake at night so people see you. And I'm almost certain it's no big deal to have multiple color LED lights. So you could have this rub rail blue at the dock, white under way, change like a disco show if you wanted. LED's are VERY user friendly and versatile.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

Love it!!!!!!
Best mod I've ever done!

 

[old rigger]

Going against the grain, I think it looks like shit.

 

[bocco]

Going against the grain, I think it looks like shit.

I've got to agree.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Most people have a difficult enough time distinguishing the required navigation lights. Additional lighting sure wouldn’t help that situation. BTW when drifting at night nav lights are still required.

 

[Mikes56]

The cops will be on that like stink on shit.

Can't have blue lights, period. Unless you are beached or tied to a non-moving object, nav lights only. Even anchored you can't run multi-color led's. MCSO has reminded me twice that they don't like blue lights, even interior lights that you can barely see from outside the boat. No such thing as spirit of the law out there. Must not be something they are taught in the academy.

 

[ka0tyk]

this is what the "performance boat market" has come to? led lights everywhere? its like xzibit from pimp my ride showed up to a marketing meeting.

I have LED’s on my trailer that have over 1,000,000 miles on CA freeways. Although not as bright as new. They are still working

that boat with all those led lights looks like a strip joint or whorehouse. Put a pole up front and you could name it “Deep Throat”.

That's what I figured. Yea, like a vehicle you can't run with them but if you're docked or beached you're fine. Cool.

Wonder why they have such a HUGE hard on for blue lights on boats. I've heard numerous times people being hassled for it.

I get it, can't run around like a Christmas tree. Frankly, I hate having any lights on in or around my boat at night except nav lights. I usually lay a towel or something over my dash lights even. The lights FUCK with my night vision.

 

[rivrrts429]

Looks like shit on the boat but I’d trim out the RDP docktagon with it [emoji106]
