Good, fair review. I have a Bass Raider and agree with your assessment 100%. Although I've owned several fishing boats, I've concluded the Bass Raider (or similar) is the best value in fishing boats.
Really great video I enjoyed it. Well done I’m about to buy a base raider. But I’ve been asking people have you taken it on the river? I can’t tell her you want a river in this video. I’m a river man. Also have you taken any water some of the reviews talked about getting water in the boat. Thank you
Look to buy one I'm a big guy 6ft 4in 245lb would this be ok for me for inshore fishing saltwater like marsh areas by docks and Piers Good review I just subcribed
Thanks for the great video review of the Bass Raider 10e. I'm also considering to purchase this mini boat for both freshwater and saltwater. Great Bible verse, also. Take care.
Hello my young brother I will be buying the Bass Prowler 10'2 in March to fish with two people I have the bass 8' now so keep fishing enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had mine five years.... I'm 72 years old now and load mine by myself... I'm 6'5" 250lb. And love mine.... have a sears 2hp motor.... and a 55lb troling motor.... love you videos....
I want to buy one for my husband as a surprise but have no clue on trailer? Any suggestions where to get it cheap? Like $500 or less? Without modifications needed so we can get the boat immediately. Thanks!
Only place I can think of that cheap would have to be Facebook marketplace or craigslist. Harbor Freight may have a deal going on for a Utility trailer as well but not sure… Hope this helps!
Hello J Rob would this be a good boat for a female? My name is Michelle H and I am looking for a boat that won’t hurt my body . Also I have a small truck GMC Canyon would that work for transport?
The lightest boat you could get I’d recommend is a kayak. This boat does weigh close to 100 lbs dry and its width does make it a little harder than a kayak to load/unload
Love your videos brother I got an older bantam 3x kind similar u inspired me to get out and start getting some footage put out my first vid the other day with many to come
Hey bro great review, I’ve had 1 for 3 months now…I would say another Con would be the side walls are not deep enough to hold rods, cups, etc. Other than that, a great small boat you can modify to your liking and toss in the back of your truck.
Nice video, appreciate your time and effort. I’ve had a few of these and flat out wear them out! I still go to the trouble of throwing it in the back of the truck THEN loading all my stuff into it…taking everything back out before putting it in the water and then putting everything back in. Yes, it’s a lot of effort but keeps it light to load and unload. I like your wheel setup to help put it in the water, especially since the first one I had I drug it up and down ramps so much I wore holes in the bottom..yea…don’t do that. Now, I rarely use a ramp if i can avoid it, just find somewhere else to put in. That way I’m not clogging up the ramp since it takes me awhile. My next step is to build out a standing platform and see how that works out. Also thinking about adding Panoptix which seems overkill, adding something that cost 2 to 3 times as much as the boat itself! One tip I would give new Pelican owners…invest in the Cush-it rod floats because you ARE going to knock a rod in the water.
Thank you for the review, it helps solidify the boat as a top pick for me. Most use will be solo, at 6'4" tall 265 and 62 years of age the stability is appealing over say a Hobbie kayak. During the video it looked like it handled boat wakes well. My one question is having your reached or exceeded the boats 515lb person limit, or 600lb limit with equipment and if so how comfortable where you with it's performance. Stay safe and keep fishing.
Question I am going to be getting a bass raider soon. Would you suggest something like a board for reinforcement for the outboard motor. Just looking at all my options for this boat. Thank you for your time.
Both my bass raider and minn Kota 45 lb thrust hold up well in saltwater. I’ve been using both in salt and fresh water for over a year and haven’t had any issues. Make sure was down with fresh water agar every use and you’ll be good!
I would probably add... Lack of pole holders in the back and better ones in the front. Also, the floor is hard to fish on without adding a mat or some type of flooring. Good Vid. Fish on!
I have a 4 HP on mine and I don't run it at full throttle. There's a lot of transom flex, and it's worse when it's really hot outside. They tend to plow through the water, especially with two people so I take it easy. About 3/4 throttle at most. I'm not in a hurry and I don't want a cracked transom.
Very informative video..Question, just got a 10e and am trying to decide on a 2.5 or 3.5 motor..concerned about your statement on the transom. Have you come up with a way to strengthen?? I would like a 3,5 but if it is going to cause a problem i may back down to the 2.5..thanks for sharing..good luck...
Good to see you back on the water! Good boat, better guy. What are you using for a stake out pole? (I use a tree spike I got at Lowe’s.) I know space is limited, but would you ever use 2 to keep your boat’s orientation to your target area? Have a fantastic weekend fellow SC outdoorsman! You will have to share some good sc fishing spots in or around Charleston! :-)
Thanks Pastor Kev! I’m currently using a fiberglass and stainless steel extension pole from Walmart that i cut the end of off at an angle. Works like a charm!
“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” - Mathew 5:44
Thanks for tuning in to another one y’all!
I put a 5 hp on mine but I don’t go over half throttle it is more than enough at half throttle

very informational
Where do you get you parts? Having trouble locating.
Great Video!!
Does anybody know how this boat compares to the pond prowler 10???
Look to buy one I'm a big guy 6ft 4in 245lb would this be ok for me for inshore fishing saltwater like marsh areas by docks and Piers
Good review I just subcribed
Yes I used it inshore all the time. You just won’t be winning any races with or if that’s okay lol
Thanks for the great video review of the Bass Raider 10e. I'm also considering to purchase this mini boat for both freshwater and saltwater. Great Bible verse, also. Take care.

Check out a 4x8 trailer kit from tractor supply or harbor freight. They run $600 new
Harbor freight
just bought a used one and I can't wait to get on the water. thanks for saying how big you are b/c I'm 6'3 and I feel more comfortable hearing that!!
Me too. I’m also 6’5” but a little heavier
Does your bass raider take In water after a day of fishing ?

Got the 8ft model and want to run a 6hp on it. May need to reinforce transom.
Will DEFINITELY need to reinforce the transom. Good luck 👍🏾
Does it leak
Nope
Transom definitely could use a upgrade but other than that I love my Raider!
Agreed! I just actually modified to where I think it’s rock solid so video on that will be out soon!
@@TallFisherJ I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing your work.
How you like that suzuki outboard? I saw one for cheap, online.
You should definitely get it if you can. I’ve had mine for over a year and it starts first pull every time
Best RUclipsr on RUclips hands down!! Love the Vids kid keep it up 👍🏾
Thanks Jeremiah!
I have no problem fishing with my buddy but we put most of our gear under our seats and cooler in between us
Love your videos brother I got an older bantam 3x kind similar u inspired me to get out and start getting some footage put out my first vid the other day with many to come
That’s awesome my man all it takes is that first step! I’ll check out your vids brotha 🎣
I am thinking of doing some fishing down in South Carolina this summer. Can you do a show about what bait you use and how you fish it
I’ll come out with one next week hopefully..
Fish on brotha!
Are you on Twitter?
@@brianb.975 I’m not… too much drama over there 😂
Check out the channel “Make Time for Fishing” he has great tips on how to catch inshore saltwater fish around Charleston area
Stability would have to be the most important one for me. Nothing like moving around while fishing.
My opinion 100%. More stable and comfortable than a kayak
Cool, looking at this boat on Amazon. Subbed!!!

have you tried putting wood on the transom?
i saw someone mount a 9.8 horsepower and i was hoping to have the same absurd amount of power
Good review do one of the best reviews of scene where do you fish I’d like to hook up with you I’m in Texas
I’m in South Carolina brother
I love mine.
Can’t wait to get mine💪🏾 great vid keep em comin🎣
Oh yeah by the way I do have a bass raider to
Question I am going to be getting a bass raider soon. Would you suggest something like a board for reinforcement for the outboard motor. Just looking at all my options for this boat. Thank you for your time.
Yes most definitely! I made a modification to mine I’ll post a video on here soon!
How does it hold up in salt water ? I ordered a Minn kotta 55 endura max. I couldn’t find Minn kotta ridge line for salt water.
Both my bass raider and minn Kota 45 lb thrust hold up well in saltwater. I’ve been using both in salt and fresh water for over a year and haven’t had any issues. Make sure was down with fresh water agar every use and you’ll be good!
I would probably add... Lack of pole holders in the back and better ones in the front. Also, the floor is hard to fish on without adding a mat or some type of flooring. Good Vid. Fish on!
Great additions to the list! I definitely agree and I’ll definitely have to address those issues in a future video. Thanks for the input brother!
I have a 4 HP on mine and I don't run it at full throttle. There's a lot of transom flex, and it's worse when it's really hot outside. They tend to plow through the water, especially with two people so I take it easy. About 3/4 throttle at most. I'm not in a hurry and I don't want a cracked transom.
If it's only rated for 3hp, don't run your 4hp gas motor at full throttle unless you're going to neef up the transom.
Very informative video..Question, just got a 10e and am trying to decide on a 2.5 or 3.5 motor..concerned about your statement on the transom. Have you come up with a way to strengthen?? I would like a 3,5 but if it is going to cause a problem i may back down to the 2.5..thanks for sharing..good luck...
You definitely want to go with the 3.5 and strengthen the transom. I’ll put a video out soon on how i strengthened mine so that it no longer flexes
Good to see you back on the water! Good boat, better guy. What are you using for a stake out pole? (I use a tree spike I got at Lowe’s.) I know space is limited, but would you ever use 2 to keep your boat’s orientation to your target area?
