    i just rebuilt my 1997 suzuki carry kei truck with a custom cage over the bed for a kayak and ive been looking into small platform kayaks when i found this boat, it looked perfect for what i enjoy doing (small lake/river bottom fishing) im glad i found ur video going over a lot of information that i couldnt get from the selling site cause its convinced me to get it :D

    I ended up going with the 10ft and I can certainly say I do not regret it at all! It definitely isn’t the best wind resistant boat but it will get you where you need to be, when you want to be there. Great video!!

    • @humbugvideos
      @humbugvideos  Před 11 měsíci +1

      The 10 looks awesome! Also, I’d check out my rudder build video, that thing has decreased my drifting in wind by over half.

    I had the same boat. Loved it but wasn't enough room to fish with another person happily 😂 so I just got into a bass raider 10E.

    • @humbugvideos
      @humbugvideos  Před 11 měsíci

      Smart choice. If I fished more regularly with 2 people I would’ve made the switch too, but I’m usually solo boating it cause of filming videos. Works for the occasional 2 person trip
