From the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you for making this video. You saved me so much money and time I would’ve made the exact same mistake as you. I really appreciate you making this video!
I had a Watertender for my first boat, with a transom mount trolling motor. I fished with my brother or father. We caught tons of redfish, snook, and tarpon on it. It is fishable, if you use the seats to stand on. Yes a little cramped, no real storage, but on a budget. Oh yha and I had it in some real chop and I survived. Had great times on that thing.
Needed something to take my mind off of life two years in a rowe I've had my house broken into right before the holidays so I am glad the big dawg posted
Great video…Very dare. Wife & I have the seater ztendrr. We justlkveit !! I’ll do some fishing, but we just love being out on the water. Works well with our 5 hp Mercury. Lots of fun 🤩. Thanks again
I have the Bass tender 11.3 and it's definitely better than the pond prowler. Never heard of the water tender sounds like something you take to the springs.
the water tender is perfect for that. You can pickup paddle hooks made for the tender and everything! You can buy them new at west marine but the used market is a much better option
I will have a lot of footage coming up but not until next week. Stability isn’t great but not much it can do with its size. Stability was my biggest complaint with mine
TBH, I like the look of the water tender, but I'm planning to take the wife out on the local ponds so stability is the main focus. Your video basically made up my mind on which one to get.
How much weight would you say you put on the pond prowler? Maybe your next video could be how much it can hold? I bought a new pond prowler for me and my dad which combined would 600 lbs and i seen videos of these boats with 2 peoples, a gas engine, a beer cooler, poles , life jackets, and tackle there is no way that they where under 530lbs
Most people will exceed the limit. Often, just 2 people alone is 530lbs not including their gear and motors. Ive seen people post pics with 1,000+ pounds onboard. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Happy holidays!

Thank you for sharing.

Water tender is awesome!
I just got the 12 Pond Prowler today. I am pretty excited as there’s three smaller Mtn lakes here that n NM I’m excited to fish.
Great choice!
We just love it…OMG… Sorry again. Don’t see well. Yes, my Wife drives the boat. Lol😊😊😅
I would like have them both. One for trapping and one for fishing/frogging. The pond prewar looks sharp fishing boat .
I love the prowler but miss the water tender
Prowler vs sundolphin? Whats your opinion Greyson? They seem very similar
Just made a whole video on it that you may find helpful! They’re both good for different purposes
The front handles are aftermarket. Super easy to install with marine rivets.
So would you prefer this or thesun dolphin if you dont have good balance
Could you mount a bow mounted trolling motor on the water tender on that front deck?
A small, light one maybe! You will have to take extra steps to ensure its stability
I have the Bass tender 11.3 and it's definitely better than the pond prowler. Never heard of the water tender sounds like something you take to the springs.
I'd like to know where you can buy the water tender. I just want a row boat for the exercise.
the water tender is perfect for that. You can pickup paddle hooks made for the tender and everything! You can buy them new at west marine but the used market is a much better option
I’m sure I missed it in your vid but Is your pond prowler II the same as the 10 foot pond prowler? Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Yes, it is! It’s called the 2 because I actually have an older model but it’s the exact same boat.
What type of motor is that?
Do you have any video of the water tender on water and show its stability?

Thanks for the reply. That gives me more confidence with my old man being on the boat with me lol
👍🏼
Very FARE…Sorry
