I guess underwater LED's and lighted cup holders aren't enough. Maybe this is for Obama's "marine 1". trailer
the next step |

I saw that too Pete, a little excessive but I think the owner is in the business somehow and that boat is blinged to the max. Guess thats why they call this a hobby, I certainly have no room to criticise when it comes to being excessive with the boat haha. 
Ps. I ordered the same setup for the Hurricane trailer so if your free saturday and want to lend a hand come on by. joke,joke relax. Looks like I will make it out to the ACBS open house saturday so see you there. |

I'm happy when the brake lights and directionals work. Can't imagine signing up for all that extra maintenance. But, does go well with the wakeboard boat package.

Pete, how many points deduction for LED trailer landing strip lights?
You gotta hand it to him, he does creative, quality work. He's named the boat "Bling Bling", it's never enough! |

While I've seen much of his past work & it's all very good, even this is pretty good, I don't see the purpose... the lights are only on when the trailer's in the water. So if you know how to load/launch a boat, they'll be on for about what? 2 minutes tops? Seems like alot of work for nothing. i think it'd be better suited if he had run them down the side of the trailer, almost like running lights. Though they couldn't sequence as he was driving though, 'cause that'd be illegal.
Overall, cool, & very nice work as always, but i fail to see the point. Nate |

Saw that post as well, first thing I thought of was sequential turn signals like on some of those old Cougars and T-Birds, now that would be cool "Bling". No matter what he adds or changes it's always a first class job, gotta give him that.

Too much bling for me!
Someone got too much time and money on their hands! If it would make me ski better I'd do it. 
Must be a generation thing. Guess I'm gettin' old. |

So, I won't argue about that "thing", and just say it REALLY REALLY isn't my taste... |

It's interesting the assumptions that people make, most of which are wrong. I know Grant and have ridden in the bling bling red boat.
Bottom line, the guy is a music, video, and light fanatic. It is his hobby. He doesn't spend money he doesn't have, and he does 99% of the work himself. His business affords him a lot of free time during the day to do these projects. He has a super wife who is supportive of these projects. Some guys like 32 model A's restored to their original glory. Some guys like their model A's chopped, lowered, painted with flames, electric windows, stereos, air conditioning, and blown Chevy engines. No different with boats. BKH |

I'm sure he's a swell guy.
 Too each his own.
I DO like flames, just not on my boat! Excessive LED's not so much!

Well, now that I re-read this, it seems there are two red boats. The first belongs to Grant, the guy who did the landing stripe lights on his trailer. The second is a Malibu, and I don't know the guy.
Personally, I don't care for the flames, skulls, or LEDs. But, if you ever saw Grant's boat he does do some amazing work. BKH |

Brian,
I'm not dissing the guy, just poking fun at him. I've seen the posting's he has done on the web and am very impressed with his work. He is a talented guy and have no doubt that he is a nice guy too. I think you know that there are differences between the guy's here on CCfan and over on PN. We all give and recieve a "lil flexing' now and then. That's what makes this a great site. Question for today: "Is the Jbear really Santa in disguise?" There haven't been ANY sightings now that Christmas is almost here. |

Brian,
I never started this thread with the intent of criticizing anyones taste or their talents. Absolutely talented and yes, different tastes. |

Hey Hey now. No worries.
Lot's of folks out there with no clue, no taste, etc. Just pointing out that for this one particular guy, he knows it's all over the top, but it's a lot of fun for him. Part of the fun for him is in outdoing the other guys he knows with the lights and stereo addictions. Kind of reminds me of a few fellows I know trying to outdo each other with their engine mods.
