Default pics of your rig

Hey guys i'm kinda what you would call a bare bones bowfisherman. I have a wood skidthat is bolted to 2 piece of galvanized tubing that I lay across the gunnals of the boat and bolt down for my platform.I have a 15'6" mod v flat bottom boat that we bowfish out of and I really would like to build a platform on the front of it we do the majority of our fishing at night so I wouldn't need a real tall platform but I want one that's about 6" or so above the gunnals. I was hopeing to get some pictures of what your platforms look like what they are made of and how you fasten them to the boat. I want to make mine removable because i duck hunt and fish out of the same boat.

Do the generators have to be the quiet type? doesn't the noise spook the fish?
also for lights we just use a handheld spotlight. Any suggestions as to good lights to use.
I've killed lots of fish with this rig just lookin to become more efficient carp killers
thanks in advance.

I have an old fiberglass trihull with 1/2" osb for a deck and 2x8's holding it together. Works fine for me!

I have a 24' old pontoon boat, with 120 mercruiser on it. It is nice, have lights and generator rigged on it. plenty of room to move, cook and sleep.

Here they all are in one place. (if this link works of course)

Then click on "bowfishing pics" and then on "Boats and decks"

Otherwise just go to illinoisbowfishers.com and click on the photo gallery.
