From the Tampa bay region but have lived/fished Escambia/Destin as well. Currently living in NOVA (Fredericksburg VA) and you definitely helped on purchasing a prowler 10 for me and my son to fish out the Rappahannock and Potomac areas. Appreciate the videos and the effort you put into you channel, from one internet stranger to another, thank you!
Thank you for the kind words! Hope you and your son enjoy the heck out of the prowler!
Really like these tiny boat reviews. Subscribed
Thank you!
When you moved with your feet on the floor, you could see the floor flexing. That doesn’t help the feeling of stability. Our local Tractor Supply has them for $549 (checked this morning). I think I’m going to make a change because I need more speed. Sun Dolphin calls it a planing hull. That’s a huge advantage.
Yes it does flex. People say adding a level floor helps a lot.
You should try a used 10’ or 12’ Livingston. They are very stable and run great in chop.
Those look very cool. Do they still make them or are they only available on the second hand market?
Would this or a pond prowler 10 work if I want to go out to the lake casually with my gf and very small dog? We don’t have a trailer but have a Subaru and roof rack if that’s an option
The prowler is perfect for that. My wife and I took our small dog out once with plenty of room. She kept trying to jump overboard but we all fit🤣 as for the roof rack, I’d go with the pond prowler. People roof rack them all the time no problem. The Jon boat is definitely noticeably longer and would catch a lot more wind going down the highway.
At my local tractor supply its on sale for around 500 should I purchase one from the store or just save for the pond prowler?
How do you plan on fishing? The prowler is more comfortable and stable but it’s slow and rated for a smaller motor. The Jon boat has more space and can go much faster. The Pond Prowler is hard to beat if you can keep your gear to a minimum
@@GreysonRobertsi prefer stability so i think ima save for prowler
I’m getting pushed into one of these
Be sure to checkout my review on the pontoon style plastic boats before making a decision. 🚤🎣
I’m sure no wood under the seats anymore. There’s a thin hard plastic layer under the seats. Screws will pull out after a while. I called K &L direct. Need to use clamp ons
Bummer. Thanks for the info. Glad I didn’t ruin my boat
The new ones do not have wood under the seats so you csnt drill into them. Need clamp ons
Are you sure? They feel absolutely rock solid with zero give unlike everywhere else. Harder than foam
No drainage in the compartments is a deal breaker.
It’s a pretty big deal. Luckily haven’t had any issues but I do keep that pump on me for that dreaded day.
id spend the extra 100 or even 200 to get the pond prowler 10
It’s a great boat. I really do love mine. They’re just different enough for me to keep both. Pond Prowler 10 is a killer solo boat. The Jon boat is awesome for two people standing on the benches for flats fishing.
549.00 on sale now
Saw that today 🤦🏻🤣 they have the new model in the new color for $550 a couple minutes down the street!
Is that a floating homeless encampment in the background?
