Just got mine in the garage yesterday. I already added the flooring, but one tip I read from someone is to seal the lip on the edge. I used clear silicon 100% GE advanced on top edge then flipped over and did the bottom edge which I felt was more important. I read that water can collect on the lower half so that is why I did that immediately.
I went with the Duralast from Auto zone lead acid 27-DC version, running at $119.00 I HEARD SMART BATTERY BOX CAN FIT FULL SIZE 29DC 210 MINUTE REVERSE CAPACITY OR 105amps
Looks like you could use some practice backing your trailer down the ramp so you can get it closer to the water to load your boat without dragging it up the concrete ramp!
I don't like rear mounted motors since pushing a boat is much harder than pulling when your following a shore line or fighting the wind. But since You're only using one. I guess it makes most sense in the back.
I just got a 100ah lithium and it’s a total game changer. They have $150 options on Amazon from various sellers that are highly rated. They’re getting extremely affordable!
@@GreysonRoberts just got a pelican American 12’ and wanted to know if a 100ah deep cycle lithium battery would power my 55lb thrust trolling motor for my son and I for the day.
I bought a 2.5 suzuki out board motor and it does real good. It does flex a little, but when i read the manual it said it is suppose to flex some, because if it didnt it would CRACK the plastic!!

If you got yours new, then they have rectified that problem. But redundancy never hurts.
The funny cigarette part was the icing. I subscribed ❤😂 excited to see some of your adventures

What did you have between the fish finder and the battery box?
Looks like you could use some practice backing your trailer down the ramp so you can get it closer to the water to load your boat without dragging it up the concrete ramp!
Yup! At this point I’ve got it down pretty perfect. Definitely needed more practice at the time of this video recording.
That hurt to watch! 😅

Yep, that's about right.
Can you add an outboard to this? What hp is recommended?
Yup 3.5. I wouldn’t go past 5 without transom reinforcement.
50lb thrust is perfect for a tiny bass boat, mine is a Pelican but I digress , your videos are valuable and that translates to YOU . 🙏🚤🎣👀👍
If you were to get a lithium battery, which one would you recommend for this boat?

@@juliannuche2466that will be more than enough! That might last 2 or 3 full days. I’ll fish 4 hours and have over half battery. 😊
@@GreysonRoberts awesome, thanks for the input. Great channel!
noice video. how much was the trailer and or where did you buy it?
$1k new from tractor supply. They sell used way cheaper. 5x8
*When you look back and that Lead acid advice didn't age well AT-ALL*
Yeah, didn’t expect lithium prices to absolutely plummet over night🤣
I bought a 2.5 suzuki out board motor and it does real good. It does flex a little, but when i read the manual it said it is suppose to flex some, because if it didnt it would CRACK the plastic!!
does the motor work in fresh water?
Absolutely! Even better
oh ok thanks
Are you in the melbourne area
Panama City, Florida. Pretty far!
Does that require boat license?
Nope. Check your state laws, though. In Florida anything under 10 horse, doesn’t require a license.
@@GreysonRoberts oh nice much appreciated for the reply, and thanks for the video
In my state I had to register the boat anything 10 ft and over. But i did not have to register the motor because it was under 10 hp.
The link provided to purchase the boat just takes you to some youtube vids...Can we get the correct link please?😊...Thanks.
Is that a sd 40 in your waist band?
Close! 9mm
@GreysonRoberts I love your videos. Getting a 10ft pond prowler tommorow. Can't wait.
