Thank you for making this video! You answered all the questions I had from the trailer, to the dolly, to maneuvering the boat on the dolly. 👍🏽
Just bought one this year. Love it. I'm a big guy at 6ft1 330lbs. Standing up in it and moving around is no problem. The only down fall is I can't bring another person with me because I use 2 batteries. Great boat. I highly recommend it
Thats awesome man! I'm glad you're enjoying it
Great video, Fletcher. Very helpful. My TT is due for delivery the end of March (2019). At this point I'm watching every vid I can on the TT so I'm good to go for Spring fishing. Regarding the battery, which one would you recommend and how long will a charge last? I usually fish in my NuCanoe Frontier 12 kayak 8 to 10 hours. I want a battery that will last all day. Thanks. -Gary-
You are so awesome man, a very informitive video!!! You've got a new subscriber
I hope I could help you out! Welcome to the channel!
Great additions. I think that I'll add some to my bigger Starcraft Sport. But USE THE WINCH to load the boat! Great way to DESTROY your back!
Thanks man but no need for a winch a lot of the time b/c the boat hardly weighs anything!
Fletcheer, just wanted to tell you that after watching your videos fishing with the Twin Troller X10, I fell in lover with the TTX10 boat. So much so that I purchased one and it was delivered Wed 16, 2020. I'm now waiting on a trailer. I can't wait to get out on the water!
Dude that tackle tray you built was awesome! Great idea
Awesome vid Fletch !
Thanks man!
I just ordered my boat, I am excited to get it in and get it ready for some fall crappie fishing.
Awesome! You’re going to love it!
I bought the complete setup with the Honda motor. Love the boat, hate the Honda!! Its almost as fast on electric and the Honda is obnoxious loud and uncomfortable to operate. I sold the Honda and bought the largest, best battery I could and very happy with the results. I'm glad you showed how to use the dolly properly. It is easier then the way I was doing it.
Keep up the videos!!
Boat is awesome
.
glad I could help! Thanks for watching
I too own a Twin Troller X10 I bought a year ago on Craigslist a 2016 model with a 3.5 hp Tohatsu 4 stroke and a ton of mods the other owner did. I love my boat. John in Tn.
Awesome!
What type of mods did you do to your TTXI0?
Darn sweet boat I want lol thanks for review video on this lil bad ass
No problem my dude! It’s incredible for what it’s designed for
Enjoyed the video, can’t wait to see you fish out of your new boat 🚣🏿♀️ Let’s Go!!!!!!
Awesome, I am going seeing if they make a 3 or 4 man version. Thanks
Great video, I’ve noticed it’s hard to find a review on this boat other than the ones with the guys that work there or 1 or 2 other guys. My question is how fast does the boat go with the 2 trolling motors, does it move faster than the average boat with only one and does it deplete the battery 2x faster? Are there any complains you have with it?
Thanks
Dude, ur tackle tray is THE SHIT...soo well done.
Great vid review too
Purchased one last year from Freedom Elec. Absolutely the best fishing boat for lakesi and ponds. I just wish I'd bought it years ago. Over the years I've had custom.bass boats, jon boats and canoes. Currently have a center console with a 200hp for bay fishing rough water, but this is by far my favourite small water boat.
Great to hear that you're loving it! I got the chance to get to know the owner of the company a little bit and it made me fall in love with boat even more! He's a stand up guy and a passionate fisherman!
Hi Frank.......please see my new response above, addressed to you and Fletcher for more information. My idea is now posted on Gerry's ch.....a fellow Twin Troller owner. I didn't want to leave you out my friend. Ch is: "Lunker012" and my video title is: "The Twin Troller Gets a Casting Deck". ( Gerry only posted those parts of the main video, just to get the word out......and will be posting other portions of my video in the near future. )
Frank Mayer how much?
you were ripped off, it aint worth 3500
@@PrestigeLoft Can you tell us a better boat that can do what a Twin Troller can do for less money? Start with in-hull, 6-8 inch draft, hands free propulsion.
Wish I could find places like you fish here in the state of NC. (I peeped that license plate). Love the videos!
Love your tackle filing system
thanks! I've loved every aspect of it since I've made it
New to your channel Fletcher 👍💯 digging little boat 💯 Big pond hopper here 🤣💯💯
Welcome aboard! Pond/small water fishing is my bread and butter👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Very good video -well explained
I picked up my TTx10 yesterday in IN. going to put it in the water today,I fish salt water inshore in the myrtle beach area been fishing out of a hobie outback for 3 yr. and will do a vid. on the two soon.
You're going to love it! I'll make sure to watch that vid!
Hey man I really need help figuring out what kind of trailer to get for the bait similar to this one please fletch help ya boy out!! I'm getting hopefully the pond prowler 10 by bass pro shops but idk what trailer to get for it ??
I got one, but at the time was not able to find one on craig'slist or other. Yes, it is bullet proof for sure. Great small lake rig.
Nice review, Fletcher.
Thanks David!
We just bought one and are really enjoying it! We started a CZcams channel to document our adventures and hopefully catching a lot of bass in Clear Lake California!
How do you get it put of the water and back on the dolley?
Can you get this boat with a live well ware to keep the fish alive will you get back to shore?
Good review!
Thanks man! do you have a twin troller?
Love the vid! Right off the bat lol and bro it’s okay to put your hand down lol jk. Thanks for the awesome review of your boat. I’m looking to get my first
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the review and hopefully you enjoy the boat even more!
I like that tackle tray
Thanks! I was really happy with how it turned out
Would you say this is just as stable on water as a 12' alum Jon boat?
I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting one of these. I have 5 year old that’s loves to fish. And being that our bass and crappie waters are tiny. Can’t really put the 21’ jetsled in them.
If you’re willing to spend the money I definitely would do it! Plus they hold their value pretty well so you can always resell it you ever find yourself not using it that much in the future. I would look at trying to find one on Craigslist or another secondhand online market, you can probably save $1000!
Awesome, new subscriber 👍
Thanks man glad you enjoyed the video!
Fletcher, Nice job on the tackle tray. I also own the Twin Troller and have the factory live well but I could not cut it up to make the tray you did. I have never used the livewell but hope to at some point. I am original owner of my Twin Troller but I made other ways to store my tackle and other items. You can see that on my channel at Lunker012. I have other things I have done to my TT there also.
Your section of the video that shows the dolly in use if better than the one Freedom Electric Marine has. I do not think I would use it much but have thought of buying one to make a video about how to use it and how to launch it in the water and remove it again.
Nice video. Gerry
I’ve seen a few of your videos and I like your modifications. Good work!
Hey man! Where did you get the Twin Troller X10? I’m looking to buy one! Also, great review!
What is the best batteries for these trolling motors????
Great video!. I'm thinking of going the route of a mini bass boat and the Twin Troller is at the top of my list once I can justify the expense. I'm wondering, have you already done or do you intend to do an on the water demonstration showing how the boat performs in weeds? It seems the motors would get clogged up.
Sounds great man, you’ll definitely love it but far as weeds are concerned I really haven’t fished in it around heavy weeds. However, for the little bit of weeds I have fished around it seems that the boat doesn’t get caught up to much. I’ve seen that some people have made little tools that they keep in the boat to skim off weeds from the trolling motor guard
So my question is the motors are they electric jet? I’d like to see more about them Please ?
no they're regular prop trolling motors!
Where did u get this
Cool
Awesome little river boat or pond boat. I want one now.
It's an incredible little boat and has really made fishing a lot more enjoyable for me!
Great video & review Fletch! It's been a while. I bought my Twin Troller new back in October of 2016, and after owning several boats in my life, ( I'm 56 yrs old ) including a new bass boat, I can honestly say dollar for dollar spent, I get far more enjoyment & maneuverability for bass fishing out of my Twin Troller. I fish today more than ever, every week, year round here in Florida, in this awesome little boat. I will be doing 3 separate videos about my Twin Troller that Gerry will be posting on youtube channel "Lunker012" within the next couple weeks. I have invented what I truly believe is the best modification for the Twin Troller, and most owners WILL want to make one for themselves when they see it. IT'S THAT GOOD......and very simple to make with NO drilling or fasteners required into the hull. What is it? I will come here to let everyone know in these comments when the video is up on Gerry's youtube channel: "Lunker012" for "the big reveal". I'm actually baffled that no one has thought of it already, but they haven't. You're gonna love it. Mark my word. Tight Lines!!!
I'll make sure to be on the lookout for it! I'm excited to see what it is!
I will stay tuned in for more information.
Hey Fletcher! Gerry posted 1 part of my video series on his channel. I almost forgot to tell ya! And it's the most important part showing my idea for the Twin Troller. ( He will be posting more of my footage in the near future. ) I guess I gotta spill the beans now, because Gerry failed to use my video title. His youtube ch is: "Lunker012" He makes videos for all Twin Troller owners & those considering buying one. The title Gerry posted for my video there is: "THE TWIN TROLLER GETS A CASTING DECK".........I thought about some kind of casting deck for nearly 2 years, and arrived at my particular design. What I discovered through using it, is that it has many MORE benefits, other than standing on it. IT WORKS GREAT FOR FISHING...pitching, flipping, sight casting & distance casting is vastly improved!!! Check it out & please give us a thumbs up & like. If ya try it out yourself, please let us know in the comments there.......or even make a video sharing my idea right here on your own channel. MOST Twin Troller owners are gonna love the concept. I want to get this idea to as many TT owners as possible. It will also help the company greatly. This great boat deserves it. My original video title was: TURN YOUR TWIN TROLLER INTO A TRUE MINI BASS/FLATS BOAT!!! THANK YOU FLETCHER!!!
Hey fletcher we live here in Summerville SC would love to do some pond hopping with you let us know bro next time your Down thanks
I bought my TT in April with the Honda 2.3 in Rapid City South Dalota and love it. I then accepted a job in San Antonio and fit it in my U-Haul with trailer two months ago. I just got my driver's license and need to register it now. Some big lakes around here but if the kayaks can go there, so can I. Looking forward to the Reds fishing in Calaveras Lake and Bass at Canyon Lake.
Best of luck to you! I’m glad you’re loving your boat
I want to know sistem mesin your boat. Thanks
Quick question. Is this boat pretty heavy? Can you drag this boat and trailer with a smaller car? Like a hatchback, compact, etc.
Not at all I pull it around with a golf cart all the time. You could pull the trailer with the boat on it around with just your hands if you wanted to lol
@@Fletcher_The_Fisherman is this like a kayak where you don't need a registration? I want a 2 person boat but it would need to fit in the garage and if I don't have to deal with registration even better!
Cool little concept for a boat. The real question is this...what happens if one of the motors dies?
Are you just stuck there spinning in circles until you bust out the oars?
Yep that’s pretty accurate hahah but I always keep a small telescoping paddle on board just in case I have a problem with one of the props
Haha noice. I suppose you could always try and counteract the other motor with the oar as well
I’ve tried that but it doesn’t work to well lol it’s easier to just paddle
Wait, if its made out of the same thing as trash cans, does that make it a trash boat?
Show 👏
where can i buy one of these...thanks!
I would try craigslist first but if you can't find a cheap one there just google twin troller x10 and they will pop up!
Miss my fj!!!!!
Ive been wanting one of those boats for about a year, plan on getting one soon. Hey would you make me one of those things thatll hold your tackle? Im limited on hand use and have no welder. IF you will please let me know how much, thanks :)
How is the customer service, how much did you pay
Man. I bought a 14 foot Jon Boat and right now I wished I got a smaller one. I can take it everywhere but something smaller would be better to put anywhere even places where there are no boat ramps.
How long and how wide is this boat? I’m thinking about getting one .
10 feet long and 4 feet wide! It’s really easy to move around and get in and out of small bodies of water that don’t have a boat launch
Fletcher The Fisherman Great, sounds awesome! Now about the trailer... how much did the trailer cost? Is it easy to hook up the taillights on the trailer to your car? Thanks.
I bought mine off of Craigslist but I think they’re around $1000. They’re really easy to hook up though!
Awesome vid
Thanks bro!
Np not many you tubers respond that’s really cool that you do
Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t try to respond to more people. I try to respond to every comment I get! Feel free to DM me on instagram to if ever have any questions too
I don’t have Instagram but I might get it now lol I have snap
That’s really cool tho keep it up I really like your vids I rather watch your vids that some of the googans
FJ SQUAD
what the weight limet on it
I think 500lb but don’t quote me on that lol
I like this Kid..... I want to go fishing with Him :)
I have a Hobie Pro Angler 14 right now and I am seriously contemplating pulling the trigger on one of these boats just out of curiosity what type of battery life do you get on the water with one of these and what's the top speed with both trolling motors
It last me all day but I always charge it after so I’ve never ran it down all the way. Don’t expect to move to quick with the trolling motors. They are great for working the bank quick but not for covering a lot of water fast. The hobie is definitely a lot faster then the trolling motors but you can mount a small outboard on it as well to cover distance faster, as long as motor engines are allowed on the body of water you fish. I’ve never used the outboard so I can’t comment on how fast it is with it
maybe winch will help little bit
Angel, I also own a Twin Troller but I have the Honda motor on the back that came with the boat when I bought it new. That does increase your range and works well.
I also owned a Hobie Cat Pro Angler before I bought my Twin Troller new. No regrets, I can cover more water with the Twin Troller with the outboard on the back than I did with the kayak.

How much would one cost me?
I heard those pedals malfunction if they get wet.
will it be ok on big lakes ?
Yes, as long as the wind doesn't pick up too much in open water. Boat wakes are not a problem.
What’s the cost of that particular boat model?
I think $3,500 new but I bought mine off of craigslist with the trailer for $2,000
@@Fletcher_The_Fisherman managed to get mine used too and thankful foe the cost difference.
Come join the Facebook Twin Troller group Fletcher. It's great!!
What kind of trailer is that man?
I’m not sure but you can buy it off of twin trollers website!
How is the boat in the wind?
Far as boats that size go it’s great but being a small boat you do get blown around a bit in heavy wind
@@Fletcher_The_Fisherman I think you need qualify that comment. You only get blown around if you're standing (Like I know you like to do). If you're fishing in a sitting position with your feet on the pedals, the wind is a non-issue. You have 100% control of your boat. I'm sure you can agree with that Fletcher!
I’d love to get something like this, but can’t afford the $6,000 package 😂
Hahahah checkout Craigslist! I got my setup for $2,000
Maybe you should consider the $3295 version.
If you haven’t seen Lunker12, he has done a lot of additions and improvements to his TwinTroller X10 and he is very user friendly on all of his explanations and specific. I really enjoy his reviews and improvements and additions that he has placed on his boat. I am looking forward to getting my TwinTroller X10! Good job on reviewing your boat/
I’ve watch a few of his videos he has done a great job on his boat! You’re going to love yours when you get it! Thanks for watching!
Hey Bob! I don't know if you're aware yet, but Gerry at "Lunker012" just posted the most important segment of my video on his channel, where I reveal and demonstrate the many uses of my custom/portable casting deck for the Twin Troller. It's a real game changer for an already awesome little fishing boat. Check it out, if ya haven't already. Video title is: "The Twin Troller Gets a Casting Deck". Post a comment & tell us what ya think. Thank you! ( He will be posting other segments of my video footage as shorter videos in the near future as well. )
How much is that boat?
I think like 3200! Look on the website for sure. I think it’s overpriced and for about the same cost I went out and bought a new 1436 Jon boat with a 9.9 merc and have no regrets about not getting the twin troller.
I looked at them for years and then when it was time to pull the trigger I bought a Hobie 12 footer. What a big big mistake
Hobies are still a great product! I was between a hobie and TTX10 but ultimately went with the TTX10 because I could bring someone fishing with me. They both have their advantage and disadvantages and provide unique experiences. I hope to add a hobie pro angler to my garage one day.
Wow, Randy, I wondered what happened to you. Be sure and tell us why you think it was a mistake so others will not do the same.
What are your thoughts with my little kids on it with me?
I like them but dang they are expensive.
Yeah they’re a little pricey but they’re a fair price for their quality
Ya its a bit costly you can get a new Pelican Bass Raider 10E brand new for 1400 bucks no electric motor on it but pretty much the same boat no trailer but you can throw it on your roof rack or back of pickup even if got to buy an electric it still would be cheaper! And for you US fellas it would even be cheaper that's 1400 Canadian, you can order them from Canadian tire!
The bass raider definitely gets the job done for cheaper but I’ve used both and there is no comparison between the two when it comes to build quality and functionality but those things come at a cost. My best comparison would be like the difference between an entry level fishing kayak and a hobie. They both serve the same purpose but hobies are a far superior product
@@Fletcher_The_FishermanDo they just sell the hulls, and my concern would be, how do you access the electrics motors if you need to clear weeds from the props or repair or replace them?
@@timmunroe4873 Clearing weeds is not a problem. First, there are weed guards. If the weed is rooted (lily pads, reeds, tall grass, etc.) the Twin Troller usually goes right through it (like butter). If it's not, first, you hit reverse with the pedals, second, brush a paddle on the side of the boat, third, reach down and clear the motors with your hands (yes, the boat is that stable), last (which has never happened to me) paddle back to shore, or use the outboard, and clear on shore. Hope this answers your question.
@@SmallWaterTVThxs for the info Hoss!
Actually I would liked to have seen how stable and reliable it is on the water instead of how he stowed his gear.
Yeah I probably should have shown that off as well but if you search twin Troller x10 the company has made a good amount of videos displaying the boat in actual use on the water. Hope that helps!
Those Motors aren't hidden at all, you can clearly see them in the extra $4,000 you pay over a pond Prowler.
First
Rumor has it that the person who comments first is destined to catch a 10 pounder
How much did you pay for this boat?
I got it off of craigslist with the trailer for I believe $2500
“Same as a trash can”
High density polyethylene.
... YETI TOUGH! :-) ...
@@jonhutchens9770 That sounds damned correct and proper, but a trash can, No hell way!
@@240LTS That is proper to say, than saying a trash can.
Looks like a Bathtub... with a motor on it.
Look a little closer. It's not.
Most likely out of my price range.
Yeah unfortunately they are pretty pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. You could try looking around on Craigslist or eBay for a cheaper used one, that’s what I did and got the boat and trailer for around $2000
There is no kayak that is more stable when standing than the TWIN hull Wavewalk - especially for BIG guys! Here' s the PROOF: czcams.com/video/n7gb7qdi_7k/video.html Oh yeah, and the W500 is only $1,440. That leaves you enough to buy an outboard motor or electric trolling motor.
Cut up the $169 live well.
Here's the link for 10E www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/pelican-bass-raider-10e-boat-0744066p.html
Pedals are very loud IMP.
Yeah if I we’re going to have any complaints it would be that the pedals are loud and that there is no water drainage for the the reel holes
Too much damn work to get it off and on the trailerAnd they never show you putting it in the water and taking it out of the water and I believe that is the hardest part of this little boat
Why is it so expensive 😂
People who buy this make these videos to make them selves feel better about the 4000 they just dropped on it, or for 4000 you can get a jon boat with a 9.9 🤦♂️
Yes, you could buy a jon boat with a 9.9 but you would have an inferior fishing boat. People make these videos because they want to show the world how great a boat it is. Maybe you should look a little closer.
Maybe it doesn't need to be registered?
Cant justify the price of this thing. Its basically same thing as bass pro shop pond prowler with a built in trolling motor but costs 7x more
FJs have TERRIBLE blindspots.
That’s an understatement lol
Two expensive
Its cool but at close to 5 thousand no thanks!
Sucks you need 2 feet to troll. You have to be seated
buying any boat of this style will disappoint you 100% of the time, it will cost you money to remove from your property as garbage.
Wayyyy over priced for me
Yeah they’re pricey but you definitely get what you pay for
Bass man on a floating trash can.
$3,500 is a rip off, this junk is not worth 3500
OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE TWO OF THESE AND SOLD MY JON BOAT,KAYAK . YOU SHOULD STICK TO RACING PIGEONS.
@@de1073 LIKING YOUR OWN COMMENT IS NOT COOL. NO PIECE OF PLASTIC COST 3500
@@PrestigeLoft Again, your misguided. Not just a piece of plastic just like a hobie is not just a piece of plastic. It might be expensive to you but that may just be a relative comparison your making to something else. It is the best most practical small water craft I have ever used but I dont know anything about pigeon racing so I will leave that to you.
@@de1073 first off that craft of yours is just a piece of plastic, period. Easily made and easily replicated. It cannot be worth 3500, it's a damn rip off, you can thank capitalism for that. In pigeon racing we have birds worth 3500 and up to 1.4M. Genetics cant be replicated. Its insanely difficult. They are rare and that's why they are worth a lot of money. You are paying 3500 for a piece of plastic so someone can get filthy ritch off of you.
@@PrestigeLoft thanks for the info on pigeon racing I guess its similar financially. I have a two boats that cost 3.5k and one that costs 1.2m. people have said the same thing about my big boat that 1.2m for a boat is a waste of money but I recognize the value in it so I like it. as far as the twin trollers, they are expensive to make and the guy who invented it spent a fortune having the molds made and designing it to be unsinkable and virtually indestructible. They really are a cut above all others. i dont own them to be someone I bought them because I already am someone, who doesn't buy crap. better not let the cat near those pigeons hate to see a cat eat it worth 1.4m.
you should stick with what makes you happy. nice trading jabs with you today.
