Did this with a yoga mat this past summer! My niece and I are in one of these videos somewhere. Gerry, you are the MAN!
Chip, you were the stars ✨ of that show! Gerry
A great idea for next spring Gerry. I have been doing a lot of shore and dock fishing lately because by the time you get the TT on the water at 40 some degrees it doesn't take long before you want to head back to the dock. Really been enjoying my retirement with not only fishing but I'm getting back into woodworking as well. Had to buy a new table saw and a bigger 12 inch sliding compound miter saw but if it's enjoyable why not get what you want. Mrs Steve loves it when I'm throwing boards around my shop cause it keeps me out of her hair and she told me the last thing she wants to see is me in my recliner watching old westerns all day. Have fun with the Granddaughter.
Steve, avoid those old westerns as long as you can. Gerry
Thanks for the information on the slides. I've had some of those for years that I never got around to putting on my larger boat and was thinking of trying them on the Twin Troller. You have saved me some time and aggravation.
Allen, they may work on a large boat but it was actually harder to slide the TT. Possibly the material the TT hull is made causes that? Gerry
Another great video Gerry. Thank you.
Denis, thanks! Gerry
Love your vids watch em all the time
Seth, thanks for watching! Gerry
Always good idea's from Gerry
Michael, I agree it is a great idea but I do not deserve the credit. Gerald from NH was the first with the idea. I just wanted to show how easy they are to install. Gerry
My favorite idea yet!
Patty, thanks! Gerry
Always enjoy the ideas , you can Use Velcro Strips On bottom Of Pads To Kinda secure the mats to the bottom of the Boat
Donnie, That is a idea but I found they never try to fly out of the boat. I am not at highway speeds often but even then they do not fly out. Gerry
I might give this matting idea a try as well. I'd definitely opt for color white just to try keep things a bit cooler though it will show grime as well.
Allen, I only found the red/black combo color but somebody must sell a white.
I also did not look very hard! Gerry
You are one super cool dude!
Der Kong, I am in the Buffalo, NY area right now and I am cooler than you think! Gerry
I used the same thing from walmart in my twin troller, works awsome. and i cut it so ican move parts to use peddles in front or back with no fuss with the floor peices!!!!!!
Crappieday, The really make the TT quieter and softer on the feet. Gerald from NH started us on padding the floor! Gerry
Love your videos. I want to add launching wheels to my Twin Troller. Any ideas regarding mounting?
Beth, I assume you mean you want to permanently attach wheels to the TT? I have not heard of anyone doing that. The wheels would have to be very strong. You would have to make holes in the hull below the water line to attach the wheels that may leak into the hull. Nothing sounds good about doing that. Sorry!
If you find a way to do that send me photos please. Gerry
question, what about the recessed area where the foot pedals go, even if you cut out that area so they’re not covering your pedals it still won’t work because of thickness of mat, it would raise the pedals so they couldn’t make contact with the ridges on floor to lock them in place.
Mike, watch the video again. The red pads stop at the rear of the pedals when they are in the rearmost slots in the floor. They do not go under or around the pedals. Gerry
@@LunkerFishing I was at Harbor freight looking at mats and brought your video up to see what you used but didn’t watch it good enough. They had some 12”x12” x 1/8” thick rubber tiles with adhesive on the bottom, might give them a try so I could cover whole floor.
Thanks for the reply
Hi Gerry. Can u tell me how far it is from the ground to the bottom of the boat when the trailer is leave. Thanks for ur help
The top of the trailer frame to the bottom of the hull is 10" Gerry
Our boat house has an unused jet skii dual cable lift. Is there any place for a push pole inside the boat?
Gene, depending on the length of the pole you can lay it in either rod rack on the sides of the boat. If it is a long pole you can hang more off the rear of the boat so it minimally interferes with casting in the front. Gerry
Jerry.
I own the bass hunter 120.
it's almost identical in size and weight to your twin troller.
my question is, will that easy lift dolly work for the bass hunter?
I wish I could give you a good answer but since I never used a dolly on the Bass Hunter I have no idea. Sorry.
Hey Jerry,
Have you been able to take it out on the road yet to see if those foam panels will fly out or not. I guess that’ll be my only concern running down the interstate I’d have to have stuff sitting on the floor of the boat to keep the wind from sucking them things out.
Dan, I had that same concern. I rarely cover my boat but with them all fitted together they seem to not lift out at all. I have a paddle that I always keep in the boat that helps hold the panels down too. The seats over the panels would keep them from getting too far if the did start lifting. My conclusion is I never think about them at all. Gerry
@@LunkerFishing you çan always velcro those mats to the deck so the don't fly off.
You mentioned a problem with Hydrilla coming through the grate and clogging your motors. Have you tried covering the grate with some thing like half inch hardware cloth?
Mark, I have not tried covering the grates because there needs to be a free flow of a large amount of water and that would restrict the water available for the motors to push and propel the boat. I am careful to not try and use the motors where the hydrilla is topped out and if the hydrilla is still too close to the bottom of the TT grates I use only the slowest speed to get out of that area so the weeds are not sucked up into the motors.
If you have not looked at my video on the weed removal tool I made you should, because that will remove the weeds if they get on the grates from inside the boat. Gerry
@@LunkerFishing I did see that video and you also mentioned it in this one, I was hoping to find a TT owner who has tried it because it could possibly be a relatively cheap solution.
The problem I envision is that the hydrilla wouldn’t become entangled in the prop, but might become trapped on the hardware cloth due to the suction of the motors, with a possible solution of reversing when needed to blow it back out.
If you ever do try that, please let us know
Thanks and I enjoy your vids
What is the max weight on the transom for a boat motor?
Boats do not have such a weight rating for the transom. The boat is rated for 3 persons or 475 pounds. 560 pounds persons, motor, and gear and 2 hp motor per the Coast Guard placard on the boat.
The Twin Troller is sold with the Honda 2.3 hp so that is confusing. Gerry
What is the best batteries for these trolling motors????
Lead acid works great. If you can afford the Lithium batteries they work great also. Gerry
the grey mats are at harbor freight for under 10 bucks.
Bob, I like the grey. Oh well, too late. Thanks for the he ends up. Gerry
How easy was the trailer to first put together when it first arrived? How long would it take one old guy to do it? : )
Neighbor Bob, I was an old guy when I assembled my trailer and surprise, I am still old!
I did so in my garage using power tools but much of it was assembled with wrenches and a ratchet wrench.
I assembled the trailer on it’s back until the undercarriage was done then flipped it over on the tires to finish.
You can do this, just take your time and follow the manual.
You should wear work gloves because there are some sharp edges on the metal.
Good luck,
Gerry
@@LunkerFishing Thanks Gerry, I'll give it a try. I look younger thanI am most say, but I'm 63.
Neighbor Bob, I forgot to answer one question. I started the trailer late on same day right after it arrived. Then finished the next afternoon.
I was just about your age. You can do this! If you have any problems contact me,
Gerry
@@LunkerFishing my Dad always said if anybody could do it "so could I"! LOL!
Gerry, is it possible to find a used twin troller x10?
Jim, from time to time people do sell their boats. One of the best sources is to go to the "Twin Troller Community" on Facebook and you will see more there than other places I have noticed. Gerry
Gerry, I’ve been watching ur vids for several months now, I need HELP! Moved to middle Ga. a few year ago from the Florida panhandle and I miss real fishing sooo much. Anyway there a few ponds in my area and the twin troller would be perfect for what’s available here. The problem is....how can I find a TT around here? Can’t afford a new one, will jump on a used boat. Where do I turn to now? Keep up the great vids, they keep me hoping for my dream boat.
Patrick, one thing you can do is post below my newest video (just like you did here) when I post them and say where you are and ask if anyone knows of a good used one for you to buy. You could say how far you are willing to travel for one.
Recently a TT owner had to sell his boat in south Florida. The buyer came all all the way from Texas to get it. I have to guess that he was coming here for another reason also but I am not sure.
I would do searches on Craigs List and places like that.
You can go to Facebook and join the Twin Troller Community group and post there for anyone in your area selling a TT.
Have you tried contacting Freedom Electric Marine, the maker of the Twin Troller? I bet once in a while they gat a line on someone needing to sell their boat.
Try an internet search for on line used boat sales or just do searches for used Twin Troller X10 for sale, you may get lucky.
Make sure you check back to the my videos that you post on to see if someone responds. You do not want to miss someone trying to contact you.
Good luck, Gerry
@@LunkerFishing thanks so much for the fast response. I'll give it a shot and let you know what happens.
Am interested in buying a used TT boat and trailer or outboard. Please reply to my email: dickiet@bellsouth.net if you know of one. Thanks
Hello, I am considering a twin troller x10. Do you go on the river with yours. I only boat on the river for the most part.
I do not have rivers by me but other TT owners do use theirs in rivers. Gerry
@@LunkerFishing I don't have ton of experience with boating. Just a couple of seasons. I don't fish I am a photographer and Video man. My only concern with this boat and engine is, Will it go upstream when there is a current. Nothing major it's the Delaware but it sometimes gets going fast.
@@sutv6754 I have no idea what the Delaware River is like so I cannot give you any advice. Gerry
@@sutv6754I don’t have this boat. But it’s my understanding that it can go against river current. Boat has a fairly low draft wishing enables the boat to stay shallow riding. The motors work by vacuum with the
“ hidden in the hull “design for the motors. Can’t confirm 100% cuz I don’t have this boat. But pretty sure you will be good on the river
Black will get hot in the summer Red might be better but hard on the eyes lol/
It is reversible but I keep the red side up anyway. Gerry
Any possibility of the mats being blown out of the boat going down the road?
Charles, that is a possibility. I will have to see how it goes. It would be ok if you had the cover on or they easily remove to be placed in the tow vehicle until you get to your destination. Gerry
Sorry, im confused. So do you recommend the boat overall?
Yes 🙂 he recommends the boat highly. In the beginning he shows six plates he’s removing because they did not make loading/unloading easier.
@@el.bailey1593 is correct. I do not find the plastic squares that you attach to the bunks on the trailer to help with the Twin Troller X10. They probably help with fiberglass or aluminum boats but they actually seem to stick to the Twin Troller hull, so I removed them.
The Twin Troller X10 is the Worlds Best Fishing Boat!
Sorry for the late reply, I did not notice your question. Gerry
I like the black side better
All I have to do is flip it over when you go in the boat fishing with me Patty!
Gerry do you have a email address?
Yes Thomas I do:

Gerry
The black side is gunna get hot on yur feet big dog. Use the red side on hot sunny days
In the video I show I have the red side up. 👀
@@LunkerFishing was just commenting that I’d stick with the red side. The black will certainly dry out faster, but boy! That’ll be hot on the feet if someone were to be barefoot
Don't buy this so called boat not worth it
I have had my TT for almost seven years now. I have owned many other boats in the past and hold a Master Captain License. I have no regrets with this boat and would buy it again if I need to. Gerry
