    I’ve had a 120 for about 2 years. Bought it for all the same reasons. Awesome construction with the one piece and built in handles. Super stable for youngsters that can’t sit still. Sad thing is no time to fish. Only been in water once since I got it. Gotta remedy that this year! Looking forward to getting my trolling motor and depth/fish Finder on it soon

    Twin Troller x10 is truly a one piece rotomolded. The twin trolling motors in the pontoons are better cause you can steer using the pedals like a bobcat. Spin 360 in one place!

    First off amazing video. I was trying to decide between the Raider and the Prowler. But your video changed my mind completely. I ordered one and will go pick it up in a few months. I could see how you ran the wiring for the trolling motor. Did you build the mount to hold the battery?

    • @HoldunReed
      @HoldunReed  2 года назад

      Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it and it helped you. I did build that mount. I've been doing it on my plastic boats for years. Just go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a couple of the really strong steel corner braces and then secure them to the back plate with a 1/4 inch bolts. I had to drill out the holes on this boat. Be sure to use really wide washers to distribute the weight evenly and have rubber washers underneath to prevent rain water getting in. I'll add the link to the braces. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I will say that on a really windy day (20+mph winds) my 55 lbs thrust trolling motor definitely begins to struggle when heading directly into it.

      As for me, I have rods for the type of fishing. For example I have crank bait rods, top water rod, jerk bait rod, a jig rod, a couple spin real rods if I need to go with a light/smaller presentation that'll cause a backlash in my baitcasters. Basically, I'm prepared for whatever they are biting. Just something I picked up from tournament fishing as a co-angler. I learned how important it is to have the right rod for the job.

      This boat could handle you and gear but you'd have to configure your gear to balance the boat the best you could. I'm unsure about adding a passenger... I'd say you'd be pushing it.
      Have you looked at miniature pontoons? Check out Pond King. They are a little more pricey but they're extremely high quality and the weight limits are double this plastic boat.

      Yeah... I'm sure that's a fantastic boat but I don't think it fits my style of fishing. I like to stand and to safely maneuver that boat around you need to be seated. Plus, I didn't like the idea of spending over $4,500 for it.

      Aww, gotcha. Wasn't aware that it was one piece as well. Thanks for the info.

    Anyone else wondering what the legalities are of having an exposed battery essentially hanging off the exterior of your boat?

    It’s OK if you’re fishing in a pool other than that I’m sure it’s worthless
