    Hey would be open to creating this same set up for my Bass Pro Pond Prowler 10. You name your cost and I'll buy the materials. @Alloy&Grain OR would you sell your boat?

    Can I buy this boat from You ? It's wonderful. I am looking to buy one now. Where do You live ? Can I hire your to do this when I get mine ? You did a beautiful job on it. Never have seen anything better than this. Great Job.

    I've watched a ton of upgrade/modification videos on Bass raider, bass hunter style pontoon boats and there were quite a few that has some really good modifications but I have to say hands-down by far your boat is the best I've seen yet nice work especially with the rod and battery box's. Keeps everything tucked away safe and clutter free. Fantastic job man.

    Definitely the route I am going to go. I do not have the space for a full size boat yet. This type of boat is perfect to put in the garage and still have some father/ son time with my 10 year old. They don't stay young forever so can't keep wasting time

    What are the side tray covers made out of

  • @billwiley7216
    @billwiley7216 Год назад

    I really like the mods you made putting the lids over the side trays and making them a secure actually usable storage that eliminates the chance of your rods getting knocked overboard. Only thing I can see I may have done differently is use piano hinges so I could mount the hinges under the outer side of the lid and to the top of the hull where you would not have the hinges mounted to the outside of the hull mainly for aesthetic reasons not function. In my opinion biggest mistake most people make when modifying these little boats is adding way too much weight going with plyboard flooring and large plywood decks in such a small hull, but your build for the most part eliminates this. Front box for the fish finder and anchor reel mount I like, also could incorporate a front navigation light socket and switches for the navigation lights on it as well just in case ever caught out longer than planned and it started to get dark . Rear navigation light socket could be incorporated into one of your side lids and the light for it stored in the side compartment when not in use. I would though put the trolling motor battery in the rear of the boat in a plastic battery box and use the front box for storage for things like life jackets, the navigation lights and other needed items that just seem to accumulate on a boat. Placing the trolling motor battery in the rear is more for a weight balance consideration since you have the added weight of the trolling motor and the box mounted on the front. One last addition it seems pretty common to mount a rear rudder on this style boats to help tracking and make it track better and not spin around so easy in the wind. Most people are just using a tilt bracket for a minnkota bow trolling motor (available on Amazon for about $40) and one of the best rudder ideas to to use in the bracket just cut the handle down on a cheap kayak paddle and used the paddle end as the rudder, Tat rudder set up is great because it can be brought up out of the water just like your front mounted trolling motor for shallow water and/or boat loading and unloading and transportation. Nice build overall. Really sensible! I am considering buying a boat of this style and may incorporate these side lids as it really is a smart addition to make those areas of the boat actually useful.

      Hi Jimmy - Apologies I missed your question from a few weeks ago. It’s an called an Anchormate by a company called Worth. Here’s the company’s website: marine.worthco.com/anchormate-products/anchormate. I got it at Bass Pro Shops but not sure if they still sell it. Hope that helps!

    Awesome boat I just picked one up used. Question does your boat have two small holes on the front and if so are they plugged ? Thanks in advance

    • @AlloyAndGrain
      @AlloyAndGrain 2 года назад

      Thanks for the comment. No holes in the front on this one - completely sealed up/one piece.

    What's the weight limit on those things

    • @AlloyAndGrain
      @AlloyAndGrain 2 года назад

      I believe the tag says 400 lbs, but I’d venture to say it’s had over 650lbs on a calm day at the lake and no issues. Not advocating for exceeding boat limits!

  • @angelg.564

    Hey brother I was wondering where you got your seat stands? I have them big bulky old ones that made of plastic and would like a pair of those.

    • @AlloyAndGrain
      @AlloyAndGrain 2 года назад

      Hey Angel - the seat stands came with the boat on mine. It looks like bass hunter might sell them separately though on their site: basshunter.com/adjustable-seat-bases. Make sure to measure and validate what they have now fits your rig, of course!

      Hi Anthony- I bought it at Bass Pro Shops, it’s called an Anchormate by Worth. There’s a similar product by Attwood - Anchor Lift System. Hope that helps!
