- Thanks for watching DRock Fishing! This video will show you how to build a deck with storage and a floor for a Pelican Bass Raider 10E. The deck build took a few days and required 1 sheet of 3/4" Plywood for the deck and 1/2" plywood for the floor and doors. 1-2 8 ft 2x4s, indoor/outdoor carpet, carpet glue, heavy duty stapler, stainless steel screws, hinges, seat pedestal base, bolts and nuts for the pedestal base, seat pedestal, boat seat base, Wood Water Sealant and canvas fastener buttons.
I have added some documents that you can print and use to cut your deck doors and floor, be mindful that this is a scan and might not be 100% accurate. I printed the documents at 101% size and compared to the original with minimal differences. If you have any questions let me know in the comment section below, please like and subscribe.

Great job guys! The mods are very clean looking!
MaxCast Fishing Thanks Charlie! Yours looks great also I just need to figure out about getting some rod holders. I’m going to be posting a video later installing some headlights.
wow that turned out great man , great modification
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Good job guys. I dig it
jerald meow Thank you for watching and thanks for the Sub! Let me know if you have any questions thanks.
Really thorough! Thank you. I’m thinking of giving it a try.
Thanks for watching! Good luck let me know if you have any questions.
Nice build !
Thank you I appreciate it!
Looks great! I think it's important that a Mod. is done to suit your specific style of fishing. Well done!
Thanks Jim I appreciate the comment! I’ll be posting more videos soon.
Great job!!!
Keith Dailey Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
I always love watching these mod videos but being a contractor I understand how much these parts weigh...I have a sundolphin and there are some days (especially early) that I have a hard time lifting the base boat (i dont trailer). I always just leave my boat the way it is because I dont want to give myself a hernia, lol. But this mod looks like it worked out well for you - good job and thanks for sharing.
Yes it definitely made the boat heavy, I have a trailer now so it’s much easier for me. My buddy has the same mods and we usually go together so I end up helping him load and unload. It’s not that bad when it’s two people, but one would definitely feel the difference. The good thing is they are easily removable, the deck and back floor weighs about 45-50 lbs. Thanks for watching!
I would love to have one of these boats if they were 12 foot.
They have a pelican 12 ft John boat version as well.
Nice looking raider, thanks for the tips bro!
Martin Rodriguez No Problem bro Thanks!
Do you get water inside the boat?
No I have other videos on my channel using the boat with the deck you can check them out and see how it rides. Also I installed a drain hole in the rear of the boat in case it rains or water gets in the boat.
nice looking carpet.
thymekiller Thanks bud. Just subscribed to your channel.
With 3/4" plywood that's got to add alot of weight to the boat I have a 14ft John boat I used 3/8" plywood with aluminum rails across the top screwed my plywood to the aluminum with self drilling screws and made 2 hatch doors it works fine I also added carpet , when building a deck on a boat you do have to consider the weight of the lumber and motor size Its like having 2 extra people on the boat with wood weight I have a 40hp outboard building my deck did make my boat a little slower speed wise but with a 2man boat building a deck adds a considerable amount of weight just my thought
Hey Allen thanks for watching, I appreciate the input, it does weigh a bit more but with a small boat I’m not looking for speed. I also have a 2.5 hp Suzuki outboard and it works great! I have a different deck that I made and used 1/2 inch on that one for the floor and 3/4 for the deck so that it could hold the weight.
Nice!
Thanks bro! I appreciate you watching.
Do you get water inside the boat? I was just giving one last week and was wo during since it's 2 peice it might be a problem?
Adriel Hernandez No I’ve never had water in the haul of the boat but it has two drain plugs in the front of the boats in case water gets in.
Dopeee
Thanks bro!
Nice mite do mine that way and put it on when i Bass fish
Chuck Smith Thanks Chuck if you have any questions on it just let me know! Thanks for watching.
Great job on the casting deck! Working on one for mine right now. Did you attach deck to boat in any way or does it just stay in place, even with the seat?
Thanks for watching Arthur! No it’s not attached, I can remove it whenever I don’t want to use it. It fits snug enough that it won’t come out of place and once you put the floor in the back it keeps the deck in place, making it even more secure.
3:48 look how it snaps into place.
+1 sudscriber from Russia, nice job!
Thank you bud! I appreciate it.
Nice job man! One question though. I trailer mine. Do you think the deck would fly out on the highway?
Thanks for watching! I trailer mine also and it’s never flown out.
Any how much weight with accessories and 2 people? Looks great btw
I’ve taken it out several times with two people but we both weighed about 180 each. Didn’t have any issues at all with the weight.
Where did you get your swivel chair and mount? Because I’m doing a boat build and I needed some inspiration
Aunt Croissant good luck on your boat build! Thanks for watching, I bought the chair and mounts at academy.
Very nice video have you ever used your boat in saltwater.
Thanks for watching bud! I’ve wanted to put it in saltwater so bad but no I haven’t because I don’t want to ruin the staples in the boat or the internal wires for the trolling motor.
I took it out to saltwater about 4 months ago with my Suzuki 2.5HP Outboard and it did great. I power washed it when I got home and everything is still good no rust.
Wish they have a 12 foot
They do but it’s a jon boat style.
Is it ok to buy treated wood or do you have to treat it yourself?
Hey Thanks for watching! I used treated wood and treated it again myself and I haven't had a problem with it.
Thanks
Evan Drake no problem any other questions just let me know.
How much plywood did u buy and 2 by 4’s
Owen Boody I bought 2 plywood boards one 3/4” and one 1/2”. And two 2x4s. With this we were able to make 2 decks so depending on your cuts you might be able to make it with just 1 plywood
Thank u so much
No problem, I’m going to be doing some more video’s soon so subscribe if you’d like to stay tuned. Next project on my bass raider will be spotlights. Thanks for watching.
Oh I will
How much did the materials cost?
Hey Tylor without including the seat and pedestal I spent about $120 on material which includes for the carpeted deck and floor. It also depends on what wood you buy because they are different prices, I bought a wood seal and treated the wood myself, as far as the seat and pedestal I went with the more expensive option $25 for the base, $25 for pedestal, $18 for the swivel that goes on the pedestal, $10 for nuts and bolts and $22 for the deck seat. So that alone was about $100 but my buddy got a 16” marine raider seat pedestal from academy and used the seat the boat came with and that only cost him $17. I already had wood glue and the staple gun so I didn’t have to spend on that.
D_Rocks Fishing
Thank ya
Where did you get the carpet?
Lowe’s, it’s indoor/outdoor carpet. They have different colors.
@@dgalvan529 thank you, I’m going to try to look for it.
@@dgalvan529 what color is it? They have a few. Or by chance do you have the item # to find it
@@chevyboy2066 it’s the green one but you can choose whichever one you like best. They also have tan, grey and blue.
@@dgalvan529 found 1, thank you 🙏🏾
Good job how heavy is that boat now bet its a bear to load by urself unless u pull all ur mods out everytime.
The casting deck and floor is about 45 lbs so yeah it makes it harder to load by yourself but not impossible. I usually go fishing with someone so with two not a problem at all.
Thanks for watching!
I've heard it Can hold up to 600 lbs total doesnt adding the deck make it less
Thanks for watching John, the deck and floor are about 45-50 lbs. I weigh 185 and I’ve taken someone with me along with gear and we haven’t had a problem.
What is the length of that seat pedestal?
Sammy Seijas It’s a 13” I got it on amazon $20
There are two options 11 or 13 here’s the link SWIV SP-2114-T EXT Alu 11in www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AXU24/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Svg1EbVNAZ1G2
DRocks Fishing nice thanks. I just bought a sun dolphin pro 120 but no seats. Was thinking a 24” but that might be to much.
Sammy Seijas yes bro I bought one from academy that extends and it was too big so I returned it for this one because remember you still need the spring plate that attaches to your seat plus your seat.
DRocks Fishing ok so you think I need like a 14”-16”? Lol I need to take the boat to academy and try them on see which is best.
Can you send the plans with measurements? If so, I can send you my email. Thanks
I don't have any plans written out but all the measurements are in the video. I did add a pdf of the outline of the front and back door along with the front floor in the description. If you have any questions about anything just let me know.
@@dgalvan529 I had to re-watch a few times but I think I got it. Thanks!
Brian G. No problem, I’ll be posting more videos on mods for the boat soon, rod holders, lights etc.
