Hi all. I'd like to get your opinions on the best side lights for a newer pontoon. Its a 2014 model, and the fence and logs are just as you might imagine. What would be the best way to permanently mount some side lights on a standard modern pontoon boat? I'm looking for something I can wire up and forget about until I want to turn them on. My boat is the one in the link. They don't appear to have changed much except for a few of the aesthetics here and there. You'll have to scroll down a bit to see much of it.

I'd like to be able to do some night fishing, and you just can't see where to cast (or where to aim your bow for bow fishing) at night. So has anyone here added any lights to the side of your pontoon boat? Or considered it? If so, which ones would you get and how would you go about it?

I thought about black lights until I remembered that is what is in a bug zapper.

Did you happen to take any pics when you were done? If you did I'd like to see some if you wouldn't mind posting them up.

Re: Best side lights for night fishing?
I'd like to "stealth" my lights if I can. Make them barely visible if possible.
