Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like they all have their advantages, just depends on what your looking for. On another note, what kind of draw do these new LED light bars have? Been looking at seelite & southern lights and really don't know much about them. Can you run navigation lights a light bar and start the motor off the same battery? Will the altenator on the motor keep the battery charged? Sorry for all the questions but I have a 16/60 open center jon boat I'm finally able to get set up and I really don't have a lot of experience with running the light bars. Bought my LED lights off of amazon. Saved a ton of money and not 1 problem with the lights, just make sure they're mounted good. You're battery can hold the LEDs, nav, starter and bilge. At least mine does and my battery is nothing special. These new LEDs pull next to nothing. Check out Amazon or eBay. Both have cheaper but dependable lights that'll save you a lot of money.
Say When.....

I keep a streamlight flashlight tucked in the top of my waders for quick access to light up outside where my lightbar shines. To me a LED light bar is the way to go. On open water you can't really tell how much light it throws on open water as there is nothing to reflect lighy back to your eyes. Now when something is sticking out of the water you can see it from a long way off. It is the only way I want to run my airboat.
