Glad you got to take it out! Great for small lakes and ponds. Love mine. Glad you're feeling better!
Yes it is. I hope I get to float some rivers with it to in the summer.
Hank, glad your out on the water and good to see the little boat going.
Oh yeah I now I need to catch some fish. lol
Nice background, glad to see the tiny boat out. Have fun
Yeah that's a small lake with lots of small fish but it's pretty. hahaha
Love the video !!! I've got a pond prowler . Couldn't live without it. Can get into lakes other guys can't. Yours looks great !!!
Thanks man. Yeah I'm excited and still learning the boat. I sold my jon boat years ago and have regretted it. So I'm really happy.
This is probably my favorite 10e video, and I’ve watched ALOT. Specifically, I’ve been wondering about flipping and punching from a seated position. Thanks for talking about that, and even showing us. I grabbed a 7” riser for my seat so I’m hoping that makes it even easier. If I can Bill Dance it all day and still punch the weeds I’ll be a happy man.
Thanks I hope it helps
I had one of those and stumbled up on a Basshound 9.4 with lights and livewell on the cheap. It is like new. I absolutely love it for this small lake close to my house.
Dude that a cool boat.
I have a angler pro 10 ft and I love it . It got me out in the water this year and I caught a ton of fish on it . I did start with a 30lb thrust and upgraded to a 50lb . The butt is the issue but I put a throw day yet float cushion on the seat and its not only perfect but just something there to help out incase of a emergency .Glad to see someone else in a boat like that . I am proud of my little boat it gets me out there to fish and that's all that matters . I will go down bank of a guy in $50k boat and catch fish in front of him when they are not . Love it 😆
I really like it so far. Should help me push out more content.
Thanks for the look at the small boat. I’m looking at options at the moment. So, this was very timely.
Cool happy I could help
I have the bass pro 10 pond prowler with a minn iota 40 lb thrust on the stern, I put a rudder from Amazon on trolling motor. The rudder only cost $25 and it helps a lot for making boat track straight. Try operating trolling motor from stern and I think you will like it better.
NICE Thanks for the info and sharing!
Thanks for the video. I like to see guys with the small pontoon style boats. I have the sun dolphin 8 and I really like it, although in retrospect I wish I would have bought a Bass Raider.
Thanks man I hope I get to take it out more next season
Glad it's worked out for you. Enjoy it.
I will and thank you!
So stoked for you brother! Hope to fish out of her one day next season with ya!
Man we do need to do some fishing together next year.
Dude, that thing is loaded! You look like Huck Finn running away down the Mississippi! Your dedication is appreciated! Thanks for taking one for the team!
HAHAHAHA man I really love it. I can't wait to fish it more. Still some things to get used to but I will.
Great video Hank! Glad to see you out in the little boat! Can't wait to see you catch some hawgs on it! You always rock! 👍
We'll there is a video of some fishing catching coming but I wouldn't call them hawgs by any means. LOL
@@BassGeek Patience Hank, all in good time! Lol 😜
This was a great video review! Been contemplating on getting one.
Thanks
Nice. I've been thinking about getting a small boat. Thanks for the information.
Cool hope ya find a good deal.
Thanks for the review. Was thinking about getting one.
I like it now I need to use it more.
Sweet boat there, I am going to buy one next spring..get deep in those coves. Asked for today off last week to fish...cold front drops down on us...30 degrees...1 dink all day. Such is life but hey, a bad day fishing is better than any day working! Keep rippin lips Hank.
Yes it is. I sold my jon boat years ago and ever since I regretted it. I'm happy as can be that I've got this little jewel.
Glas you’re back out fishing, Hank! As a big dude myself - 6’2” and about 360 pounds - I’ll be curious to see how you continue to make mods to the little boat as you use it more. I’ve been looking at one as a relatively inexpensive and easy to handle alternative to something like a jon boat or little v-hull for some of the smaller ponds and lakes by me, especially because a lot of the places nearby have restrictions on using anything other electric motors. Thanks for sharing. God bless, BassGeek!
That's why I got this one. There are 5 smaller lakes that are closer than the big lakes I fish in the bass boat but all them are electric only. I'm 6ft and 340 so it holds up well on the first trip.
Cool video and boat. I'm going out in the morning. stocked Private pond this trip
Nice hope you catch'em.
Been waiting to see this one. I realy want something like that I like my kayak but think this would be better for me
I like it. I'm still learning the boat so I'll give more updates as we go.
I love the intro breakdown set to the hook set lol. Thanks for the content
Thanks for watching. I hope you like todays video coming at 5pm!
Heck yeah man, that's a sweet little rig! I gotta get some electronics for my jon boat! Hope you're doing well brother!
Yeah I'm really happy with it. Can't wait to use it more but winter will limit that.
Nice little boat, I can't wait to see you catch some fish in it.
They aren't giants but today at 5pm eastern.
love the new rig! can't wait to see what ya get into with that! one day ill have the storage to afford and store one myself! :)
It's a fun little boat. I can't wait to get back out.
Cool little rig.
It's fun for the small lakes. It will give me an opportunity to do more fishing and more video's. The big lakes are all 1+hr's away.
I took mine to the lake on a very windy day to test it. These pontoon style mini bass boats are impressive. Not $30,000 stable but it is worth every penny.
hahahaha yes and no.
glad to see a bigger guy do a video on this. been looking into one of these little boats. im only 5'6 but around 350lbs. i was curious how this would do with bigger guys. which im sure ur lighter than me lol. but thank you for the video man very helpful
I have a similar style, called a Quest Angler 8. It's only 8'
I do alright in it and I was heavier than you when I bought it. So I think you'll be ok too.
Rudder!! A rudder makes a BIG difference. I have one on mine. You easily see the difference. I love the pelican 10e.
I think I'm gonna rig one up on the transducer pole.
Love the little boat brother.
Yeah I'm still having to get used to a few things but I really like it.
Hello Bass Geek that was awesome and you see the boat out on the water. I'm glad you enjoyed your set up that you have. Sorry to hear the seats not working. I know exactly what you mean about that. You take it easy brother and have a good day.
Thanks man those seats aren't bad I'm just a fat boy and need a little extra padding. hahahaha
BassGeek it's all good brother. I need it for the truck to."LOL"
Glad you're feeling better
Thank you very much.
Awesome set up man! I’m hoping to be able to get an absolute basic boat by next spring. All I want is something that floats and I can move without a trailer. Love to hear your thoughts as I’m a total rookie about boats. Keep on keeping on!!
Hey I'm a rookie with this boat. I have had a heck of a learning curve. I hope ya find one it's worth it.
The Pelican turned out great Hank! Dont forget that bilge lol!! I've found the lower unit in the water keeps the back from blowing around, not just weight, so maybe you could make a fin to clamp on and drop in?
Thanks man I'm gonna do something like that.
Man,now I kinda want one of these little Pelican boats. Great job on your setup. #BASSGEEK
hahaha Don't blame me! hahaha Be good man.
9 combos! I've got the same problem. I always tell myself I'm gonna take 5 and always wind up with 12 -15 combos. Just picked up my 3rd aluminum jon for a winter build project. Be safe.
hahaha yeah me to. Good luck on the winter build.
Just got mine about a week ago.. did take it out once.. put a deck on it and I'm going out this weekend.. wish me luck.. lol
Heck yeah that's awesome!
Picked up a free pond prowler 10 at the local dump. Looked like a kid went to town on the hull with claws of the hammer. I plastic welded and stainless screened in the holes for reinforcement. I have an old 3.5 hp for it and cant wait to take it out.
I'll mainly fly fish and pull trot lines with it. 6'3 275lbs and from what I've seen online, this thing is near impossible to flip. I'll trailer it in my utility traier so i can keep everything ready for some impulsive fishing.
DUDE THAT'S AWESEOME!
Love the small boats, I have a 12ft Seaking, i got lucky and found a 100lb thrust ft controll for $100, I should have it done with frame and carpet by the next week or 2, CZcams channel coming this Spring!!!
Heck yeah that will be awesome!
Cool boat would like one of those for small creeks. Great video just started my channel a few months ago so watching videos like this helps alot.
Congrats on the channel! Be consistent, don't over do it at first, and just make content you want to see.
@@BassGeek Thanks for the great advice I'll take it and do the best I can with it 👍
Put a Marine Foam Flotation Cushion on the seat, some States require one, like mine does & it also helps pad your seat!
You know that is something I forgot. VA does require that.
I bought a Bass Hunter in 1993. Still use it every week. Seats are no issue with me. I have 1 battery it last all day plus. See you put fishing pole straps on it. I do now after losing two rods and don't know how. Hope you enjoy yours. They're fun when you hook a bigger and it pulls you around the lake.
LOL yeah I remember how the big one's would pull my jon boat I can't wait to see how this holds up. I'm excited to have it for sure.
I’m 6ft 2in and 270. I bow mounted a Terrova on my Bass Raider and put a 2.5 Mercury on the back. I mostly just use the remote over the foot pedal. It’s a great fishing machine. Gives me spotlock and auto-pilot.
And you are right. I fish a lot of 300 acre size lakes and it’s a perfect rig for it. Just have it on the bed of my truck and back down the boat ramp and slide it straight into the water and pull it back on straight from the water.
Nice!
Just picked up a used one, see how it works this weekend. Bass fishing .
Putting 30 pound thurst on it just like yous.
Came with upgraded seats 5 inch thick.
Nice I need some padding on mine for sure.
Great video. Love the channel
Thanks very much.
I love my lil pelican boat that you seen me on at pound they are nice yours is looking good flip the strike king rage bug out there I've had good luck with thise
Yeah I like it. I have a fishing video coming and yeah the rage like bug.
Woohoo she didn’t sink!!! Glad to see you finally fishing out of it. Looking forward to the seeing the first fish caught as well. When you did set the hook, the boat definitely looked stable like you mentioned.
hahaha I had to catch up to the first one. It just had it and wouldn't let go!
BassGeek haha that’s funny!!
Nice little setup!! Heck of a crappie rig also.
Yeah I would say so.
Hey nice to see you in the 10 e . I bought one myself did some cool mods to it. Looking forward to the weather changing up here in Seatle so i can get out . Heres an idea.Hows about an UNCUT Bass fishing trip challenge on the 10 e with you and you bud? I would watch that. Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks yeah I might for sure
This is in my finals for small fishing boats. People have to understand the boats design and build vs. its intention. Small lakes and ponds. Small motor and space, bare boned for your taste to dress up. Couple times a month, throw it in your truck bed and get movin’. If I were dreaming of a Tracker every day this boat would let me down. But I just dream of gettin fresh air and fishing with my kids. Sold.
That’s why I love it
Hank, all of the new small set up. Got it mitt though, you crack me up. Saying you had too many rods. I fish in a 15 foot river hawk all the time with either 8HP, or 55lb minnkota. I Always say I got too many rods!! And I need to back down to 5-6, instead of the 9 I always seem to carry. LOL good luck with that reduction. So hard to do if you’re the only person in the boat at that time. LOL
Wow, Siri really screwed up what I was saying, but U get the jest. Ha ha. Love the small set up!
Yeah man I know. My triton has like 60 combos in it. I have a problem.
Nice rig brother! Love the drone shots as well.
Yeah launching that from the small boat was a little scary. lol
Yes sir my man, my dude ,my bud ,back on the water. Thank you for the video brother
I've got some fishing coming soon! Just wanted to get this out and let everyone know I didn't sink it. LOL
@@BassGeek this video came good timing was looking at the pelicans thanks
Its cool to see you out on the little boat, the last few days I was looking at getting the same one for the more shallow lakes and rivers that my boat can't get to. Have you run it in any rivers that have a current to it?
Not yet but I do plan on it next summer. I can't wait to try it.
Get yackgear anchor trolly. Works great for controling the derection the boat is going. I have the same boat , it's a awesome boat
Cool I will look into that! Thanks.
Boat looks awesome bro. I miss my little Jon boat. There just something about fishin out of one of those little boats
There really is it was so much fun just being out there. I loved it.
Great boat for a great guy
hahaha well thank you.
Love the little boat I have a Lowe 1236 Lake Jon with a trailer and planned on taking the middle bench out and putting in a lower floor and put my pedestal in it, I have looked at several little boats just wonder if buying one of them and leaving my Jon alone would be better? I have a ton of room in mine now and going to cutout open the backbench for storage and adding a hinged lid and cut the 2 side back spots for my batteries I normally fish by myself but will have a back seat.
I would put the work into the boat you have if it was me. That's a good boat already.
@@BassGeekBassGeek thanks I agree just wanted another opinion.
BassGeek have you looked at the troll king foot control for your trolling motor. It works awesome on my 10e.
I haven’t thanks for telling me about it. I will check it out
Always wanted a boat like that. Go for the Lithium batteries, they're expensive, but you'll be happy you did!!!!
Yeah I think your right.
Cool msn. I need a small boat for that exact application
It's fun and will help me get more content out for sure.
That looks like a lot of fun. If you really want to put the stability to the test, let me know, in 603 255ish, would live to Congress up the and fish, or have you come over the MT to NC. Got a lot of small lakes here for that, I will even let you try ot thes yak if you want.
Man I'm 6ft 340 lol it's stable. Ya never know we may fish some of those little lakes.
Nice rig there buddy. Only thing you need now is be on the lakes like Bill where every cast is a 5 pounder.....lol
hahahah Send me the gps is you know where those are. lol
It's a good rig. I got one just like it, have the 36 lb. t-motor and put a 5'' Bird on it. Do you like that K-9 fishing line? It cast good but if you bash lash just a little on a spool its over. It well break on a cast. I'm still using it but if I do loop a spool I take it off. FLC
I've not really used it enough to tell you. I'm going to get some more and really but it to work on the reels I use a lot. I was just thinking about this. lol You a mind reader?
I only use a lawn mower battery And it gives me plenty of life on my Troll motor And try using a old troll motor And making a rudder for the Back Cut the head off the bottom And use an old beat up sign or piece of aluminum For the Rudder fin
Great Ideas!
Got a little boat just like yours I use it for ponds its great for getting out and hitting the ponds and they are very stable much better then a flat bottom jon boat
Yeah I have a few ponds and some small rivers I want to hit this next summer. Yes much more stable than a flat bottom jon.
I've had this one for about two years now which I've had a few of these boats in the past me and my son wear the ponds out I live near Norris lake but it's not ever going there with me on it to many idiots on Norris
And yeah there is night and day difference between these boats with the pontoon style bottom and the flat bottom jon boat I actually feel like I'm not going swimming when I stand up unlike a jon boat you sneeze while your standing and you're swimming
I love my raider. But as usually a one man show it sometimes it is difficult to load in and out of my truck due to its height in relation to the launch
Yes it can a small trailer does help alot.
Nice boat buddy.
Thanks!
Wow.. BassGeek is now in the Pelican Bass Raider World.. Gotta checkout my mods on the Pelican Bass Raider. You need one of our tables. I absolutely love this Pelican Bass Raider. Fish on!
I have sir. I can't wait to use it more this coming year. You are one of the channels that inspired me to go this way instead of a kayak.
@@BassGeek that is great Sir. I think you will like it. I'm every bit your size if not bigger and I can stand, sit and fish for hours on that little boat. Love your channel. Learn a bunch from you. Fish on and have a great season.
@@fishingwithvance Love your channel and your insta game. Thanks man.
The stability thing comes a lot from practice too cause I’ve been fishing out of a canoe and I stand in it. I’m about as big as you and it felt tippy at first but it just takes some practice
That's true for sure. I like the stability of this little boat
Cool boat! I use a gheenoe for fishing.
Cool I don't know if I've seen one.
I like the boat.
Thanks.
you want to stop that boat from turning in the wind , make a fixed rudder for the back , one that you can raise and lower just not turn , few vids out showing how , just add it to your transducer shaft
That's a great idea and a duh moment for myself. lol
Challenge, 3 combos or less and tackle has to fit in a classic tackle box! ❤️👍 great stuff bro!
I can do it.
BassGeek id take a spinning set up for weightless / Incase panfish, a medium casting set up with a snap for cranks and stuff, and a med/heavy for t-rig/ everything else 🤷♂️
Does the boat accumulate water inside the pontoons ever. I am in the market for one of several models but have seen where they do get water inside. What model was your video
Yes it does but heck every boat leaks
Thanks for the vid. I want to get one too but I don’t want a trailer. I wonder if taking it in and out of truck would be worth it , especially putting it in the bed at the ramp.
Thanks
It only weights about 125 I think you would have to take the batteries out and put them back in but I used to do it with my 14ft jon so it's not to hard.
Thank you sir !
Glad your feeling better, bronchitis kicked my butt pretty bad last year !
Hey Bass Geek
I finally bought a pelican bass raider. Need to register it.
Man time flys
Been thinking about buying one of these. But I’m 450lbs and was wondering what’s your thoughts thx fish on
I’m a big guy 350 and It seems great now you need to set more toward the middle so maybe a foot controlled trolling motor for us. It’s stable but spinning around is sketchy. Upgrade and reinforce the seats also.
I like the new boat
Thanks.
I like the small boat.
Awesome thanks.
You like it cause of stability. I'd call it funability
hahaha it is just fun.
Have you had it in the river? If so how well did it handle the shoals?
I have not I would love to try it though.
Great video I’m the same size person I’m looking to get one to take out my dad he’s about 170lb do you think this is possible and have you put someone else in the bass raider with you
It would be tight but yeah just be safe.
LIKE IT !! HOW ABOUT AVIDEO HOW YOU LOAD IT ?
I will include it in a video. Thanks.
Are you able to paste the battery link for the trolling motor?
For the Battery Box or the Battery it's self?
@@BassGeek battery, but I just purchased one today.
How do you anchor these boats ?
You can add a shallow water anchor or just the old school bell anchor and a rope
Hey, How do I find your small boat video
Go to my Playlist and look for Small boat pimp'n lol
Hank, Are you left handed or have you taught yourself to cast that way? Good fishing and good luck.
I've taught myself. I can cast with either hand. Some times it's funky but I can hahahaha
I have the same boat. I too have two batteries. I’m thinking about running them in parallel to get longer time out of them. How are you using your batteries? Oh and great video.
I use them one at a time. I have a lot of camera gear and a large depth finder on the boat so I use one for the trolling motor and one for all the other crap. hahaha
BassGeek thank you for replying.
@@hashtagjustadad5110 Anytime sir.
Hey Bass Geek
Do you still like your Bass Raider ?
Thanks
Love it wish I could get out on it more. I hope next year I will get to
Hey thanks for the reply.
So do you like the Bass Raider over a Jon boat ?
So many options I still haven’t figured out what I will get next.
@@richardkeller6940 I’m hit or miss. I had a 13ft job and really loved it. The raider is super light and you can set up higher. It may (for a big guy like me) be just a tough more stable also. But there are down sides to it also. Both have their plus and minuses.
Hey Hank, what kind of boat is that?
It's a pelican BassRaider 10 but there are a bunch on the market like it. Find a used one.
@@BassGeek Thanks Hank!
👍
Thanks man.
How are you liking the boat? I built a carpeted casting deck for my bass raider and I love it. I have a how to video on my page in case your interested.
I'll have to check that out. I'm having issues with the trailer that come with it but I'm working on that so I hope I get to get out in it more this year.
What trailer did you get I just load it in the bed of my truck lol. Yeah and I’ve been wanting to go take it out but I can’t with this lock down.
Get a stadium cushion
I will
Would you trust standing on it like a jon boat
I do. It's as stable if not more. Depending on the jon boat.
You have had so many problems with those humminbird units.
Well just this one. I've go 3 and this one seems to be the Ahole. lol
Yeah I’m considering getting one of them and seeing how much trouble you have had makes me second guess it
RhinoJoe Outdoors ehh it’s like that with all of them. I just had a Lowrance guy contact me about the trouble he’s had. I’ve had 6birds and this is the only one I’ve had trouble out of.
i want to buy one of these so dang bad!! but im 400lbs.. and if i bring by brother along with me that is another 150lbs.. then after tackle and batteries.... im not sure if the boat will hold my fatass..... please if you have any info please let me know!!
I'm not sure either but I'm 350. Maybe see if you can test it out.
Add a PWM , the battery life will impress.
That's a very interesting idea. Nice thanks.
What's the weight limit on on that boat?
I don't know. I'm like 340 so it handled me well
It’s deer season you hunt
I hunt bass year round man. It just what I do.
I fish and hunt so I just kinda just do it all
@@monstersofthewater3648 My wife would kill me if I spent money on more than one hobbie. lol
Boat control stinks on these boats I have the same boat and trolling motor
It does with the wind but if you get used to it it ain't bad. they sure ain't a bass boat.
