You guys really make it suited to your needs. I like that.
No question Highlife keeps making it better and better CCF. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it.
Nice setup. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Jack T. About to overhaul the entire thing for Pelican Winter overhaul 2022. Stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching. Fish on!
Stall mat, fantastic idea.
Thanks Gary. It was a little heavy but very effective. Thanks for watching
KILLER SETUP. TABLE NICE. JOB WELL DONE.
Thanks Joe. We really like that table. It was all Highlife's idea and boy we use it. He is planning some newer versions with different configurations. So stop back and check those out in the coming weeks to see what he comes up with. Thanks again and Fish on!
I really like the clip-on rod holders, rubber mat and magnetic tool holder. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks David. Sorry for slow response. Thanks for watching. Checkout our latest mods from our video out today. Thanks.
The Vance Raider, best raider on the water...Even keeps the beer cold!👍👍👍👊
Thanks Elite Team OKC.haha. it's does keep the Miller Highlife nice and cold. Thanks brother. Fish on!
These mods seem very practical. I’m close to pulling the trigger and getting one. I will definitely be following you site for tips. Great video.
Thanks very much KD. I have had my PBR for almost 8 years or so I think and still love it. I have changed it around so many times. I would get another one tomorrow if something happened to it. If you ever have any questions, I would be happy to try to help. You can email me directly going through the contact page on fishingwithvance.com. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your Pelican.
Great video. Been thinking of getting something like the bass raider when me and my girl go out. We were doing a tandem kayak then moved up to some hobies but missing that tandem time we had together.
Fun times. You have done a great job with it. First time I have seen a table done. I like that.
Thanks very much GetOutTheHouseGoFish. I can't say enough about that pelican. The table and the floor made all the difference. It's a great little boat even without them. The boat is light and portable. Those hobies are super nice I hear. Thanks for the Sub. If you have any questions. Let us know. Thanks again for watching. Fish on!
Fantastic video...great ideas that look simple enough to tackle. I will be taking on a few of these mods on my Pelican...great looking Pelican also!!!
Thanks very much Tony. Let me know how yours turn out. Thanks very much for watching. Fish on
@@fishingwithvance
Absolutely!!👍👍
You guys have done an awesome job modifying the boat. One thing I'll throw out to you is something I've done on my Pelican boat. I noticed that when sitting sideways in the boat, if you lean back too hard, the seat frame would pop out of the track. After a few hair raising close calls of going overboard, I found a solution. I put plumbers strap over the groove where the seat rails fit. Just one piece of strap over each side for each seat and it made a BIG difference. You can still feel the seat base start to slip, but the strap catches you and stops the fear factor or pucker factor from reaching a critical point. :) I just placed the straps far enough back to be able to pop the seat base into the track and then slide the seat enough to get the base under the strap. Like you, I didn't want to put anymore holes in the boat, but these were WELL worth it. I just put some mariner putty around the screws to seal them.
That is a great idea Sam. Thanks for sharing. Some big hookset is gonna put me in the drink some day. We will have to try this. Thanks again for watching and for sharing ideas. Fish on!
Awesome setup!
Thanks. Finally time to fish. Thanks for watching.
Lean mean fishing machine!👍😉🍺Sweet Mods!👍
Thanks Keifers. We really like that little boat. Highlife has really made it nice. He has some new ideas for this year too. Thanks for watching. Fish on.
Sweet ride. looking forward to see it get slimed with some fishes. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gills, Appreciate you watching and I can't wait to get back out there too. Fish on!
Great ideas, Great mods!
Thanks very much SuperSafety. That Pelican Bass Raider has been a great little boat. Thanks for checking out the video. Fish on!
You did a great job on the modifications, I plan to copy some of your work.
Thanks floydaltonmiller. Great! Let us know how it turns out.
Love the videos, great ideas!
Thanks very much DD. Appreciate you watching. We have more coming and have to finish our table. Can't wait to try them out. Fish on!
I've used some of your mods on my Pelican 10e...thanks for the help and ideas
+cholafxsti1960 Thanks great. Any in particular you would like to say? Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment. We have more planned for this year especially the table. Fish on!
Fishing With Vance ..I'd like a video on how to tell when a fish is picking up a plastic worm or grub or any plastics...you guys have the know!
cholafxsti1960 no problem. We will be happy to share how we do it. I'll add that one to the list of upcoming videos. We do fish a bunch of plastics.
Dude. This is very cool. Nice work
Thanks RB. Appreciate you watching and for the comment. Fish on Bro!
Thanks for watching Ralph! Glad you enjoyed the mods!
Highlife with a great breakdown of his modifications to the Pelican Bass Raider. We pretty much liked everything he did especially the table and floor. Grip & Rip & Take a Sip!
I tried this after watching, only thing I did differently was cut “3 inches off each bracket leg with an angle grinder to give my other chairs more room to slide forward and back. It did not affect the stability at all and gave me 6 extra inches of seat room. Awesome idea!
That us a great idea buckeye. 6 inches would make a huge difference. Have a great year fishing and thanks for watching. Fish on!
Wow nice !
Thanks redcon. Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.
Dude I like that table 😗 nice job !!!!
Thanks very much Anthony. Works great. We just built another Couple. Lighter and better. Thanks for watching.
Awesome mod! I’ve seen others as well. Liken them.
Can’t wait to do my own.
Thanks very much. Table is the best mod I think.
Let me know how it ends up with yours.
Awesome video as always buddy!
Thanks MH. Appreciate it.
Thanks man! The mods are a game changer!
[FWV] CATTER Good stuff
Awesome rig guys...
Thanks Mike. Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Fish on!
No sir, I fish out of a Bass Tracker 175..See my videos for more detail...
Nice mod, great video.
Thanks POV. Appreciate your support. That Pelican Bass boat has served us well. Fish on!
The stall mat is killer!! Definitely putting that in mine. 👍
Works great. It is a little on the heavy side but works great.
@@fishingwithvance Yeah I watched one of your newer videos where you replaced it with the connect-type blocks. I'm gonna do that instead.
@@upthecreekyt I bought that carpet mat at Lowe's I believe and it is super cheap and does the same job. We had to velcro it down but it is still in place even after getting wet. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Nice work man!
+BlackOpsFishing Thanks black ops. Appreciate you watching and for the comment. Fish on!
I have done many mods especially on inflatables and yes I have a Bass Tender I messed around with a little bit.
+BlackOpsFishing Thanks very much. Appreciate it. BLACKOPS fish on!
I like the idea of a small utility table, perhaps a 12x12 or something
The table has changed and gotten way smaller over the years.
Super Kool. I have a 8' sundolphin. It's a good little setup for one person. I want the hydro sport!
Thanks!🙏🕊🐟🐋🇺🇸
I miss my Hydro Sport sometimes. Lots of great times on that old bass boat. Fish on Luke!
Very cool video
Thanks PGH. Appreciate it. Fish on!
Thanks for watching glad you liked it. We have new mods coming soon
I keep changing the arrangements of my rod holders again and again. Actually thinking about attaching some type of table to a chair base if I come across a chair base. Always love checking out your mods 👍
I don't know what I would do without the table at this point. I built one this winter without the seat bracket. It works, but not as well as the ones with the bracket for sure. Thanks for watching Pat. Fish on!
@@fishingwithvance have you ever tried a rudder on the trolling motor? Thinking of trying one
I like that boat. Nice mods. Ya'll ever think about putting a kegorator on it?
haha... not sure what that is Jimbo. Kegorator? Highlife may know though... Fish on!
Nothing like some cold beer 🍻 to get the creativity side of the brain 🧠 working like a mug!
haha... no doubt . You like your cameo appearance hookem. Thanks for watching.
Fishing With Vance you know I did! Gripem in the mouth!
You're da man hook up! Holla at your boy!
[FWV] CATTER y’all are the men! HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH BROTHERS!
Great video thanks for not playing music while you are talking .
Thanks very much. I dont ever do that. I realize some may not like my taste in music so I switch it up and shut it down for fishing. Thanks for watching. Fish on!
Boondocking is when you live totally off grid in wilderness. Like the Mohave desert. Check out )( let’s go for a ride) and then ( mohave gold camp) keep in mind we have been working on it and it’s looking better I just finished the solar. A dream I have had for years now. All energy and plenty of it from the sun.
Wow.. super cool. I will check those out.
Very nice review. I am trying to decide which boat to get this winter for next season in Indiana. I'm leaning Pelican Bass Raider 10E mostly because of your success. I remember that at one time you were putting extensions on the seat frames but I see it must have created some stability issues because they aren't discussed or visable. Any comments on that. Great videos. Fish on
+Jack Kinsey you are correct. We took them back off mostly because of stability. I also didn't like that I couldn't reach things on the boat like pliers and lures etc... as easily. Thanks for watching Jack K. Fish on.
Jack Kinsey Man U ought to look at the twin troller x10. It's like this one so u can rig it like u want. I like how u controll it with your feet and go any where
Great job, I bought a used working on all the modifications y'all have done an awesome job. By chance would you know what the small hole is and the back of the bottom of the boat on the outside.?
Not sure what you mean Mike. Are you talking about the hole for a scupper plug? I don't have a hole in mine I don't think. Sorry to not be more help.
@@fishingwithvance I bought a 2001 8 E and in back of the of boat underneath the boat between the two pontoons right in the middle is perfect round hole a little better than a quarter. There no other holes any where on the boat.
Love the mod. The only thing i would add would be a fish finder.
Agree Calvin. Works great! czcams.com/video/oFOy3XetvjQ/video.html
From the boat ramp, do u use both trolling motors to go to your destination faster? Or do you just rely on one until you reach that spot? I have 2 trolling motors and not sure if I should use both simultaneously. Great vid!
We do on occasion use both if trying to get there fast but mostly use the back motor to get from spot to spot and then the front motor to maneuver etc... if going fast, we usually raise the front motor for speed to avoid catching weeds etc.. both motors work great. It really comes into play when one guy catches a fish and is working to free him on a windy day. 2nd motor keeps you out of harms way.
Question...your pole holders on the back....how secure are they? I'm thinking of using something like this to feed a "stick it anchor pin system" or "power pole spike" through to hold it in place if I mount it on the front or back. Do you think it would hold fairly well?
The pole holders work well for the fishing poles but honestly they do slide around by the base. I need to come up with a way secure the base. They hold poles but I don't think it would work for an anchor but not sure. Let me know if that answers your question. Thanks for watching.
I am so glad I have found fishing channel. I gold mine and boondock at gold mine which is a club. So I have been totally into gold. Can’t wait to watch you channel thank you for subbing did sub you too.
Thanks very much for sub. I don't know what boondock is but I plan to go see on your channel. haha.. Thanks again and welcome to FishingWithVance.
Try the Troll King trolling motor controller. You can guide the boat with one foot, and keep both hands on the reel atall times. It's a quality product, and adds a whole new dimension to the boat!
I will take a look at the Troll King Controller. Thanks for the suggestion. Might make a difference for single man trips. Thanks again for the input and idea. Fish on Bryon!
How do you step across the table to get to the back chair where the trolling motor is? Thanks
Checkout my video on launching a Pelican around the table. czcams.com/video/e1wmOxiYrrs/video.html
Wonder if these folks use stringers, or are solely catch & release. We normally need a live well, and a couple of good size coolers to stow fish . . . :)
No need to wonder. I have and will answer EVERY comment. I don't keep fish. I don't look down on those that do.. well, maybe when I see people keeping Bass but I digress. Keeping crappie, bluegill, trout, Catfish I can understand. If I want fish to eat, I just drive to Walmart or Giant Eagle. Haha. Thanks for watching. Hope you continue to watch.
How do you like the bass raider 10e? I'm curious about possibly buying one.
+Wayne Cannon we have the Pelican Bass Raider 10. Ours isn't the 10e and doesn't have the wiring basically. But overall, we love it and would recommend it highly.
With all that added weight on there what's the total weight for the 2 of you? Looking at getting one but worried with my size 265lbs and any other Rider I may have with me may not work.
You wont have a problem. I wish I only weighed 265.. you will be fine. Boat is awesome.fish on
How long is the battery life? Is it strait to the battery or threw a charger??
We have had it last 10 to 12 hours on many occasions. No charger. Thanks for watching.
How would this compare to the SunDolphin 10 or the Field and Stream angler 10? Are they all practically the same?
Can't answer that one completely but I do know from shopping around, those other boats have more storage on them. Can't really speak to stability other than the Pelican Bass Raider is very stable and durable. Thanks for watching and good luck. Fish on!
Been thinking about getting a bass raider. How stable is it in heavy choppy water?
I would say it is extremely stable. I don't fish a bunch of bigger lakes but when I have done so, it did fine. Boat wakes were no issue either. I don't think you can go wrong with these little boats. Most guys that have them love em. Thanks very much for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions. Fish On!
@@fishingwithvance Great info. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks.
Nice video, where do you guys fish around?
Thanks Ryan. We fish in Western Pa for the most part. Rivers, Lakes, small streams even. Actually my favorite way to fish is for Smallmouth Bass in a river or stream. How about you?
South Eastern PA here... Been hunting snakeheads in the airport ponds. Having a blast... keep up the great videos.. I'll post one when mine is finished. Tight lines!
Ryan Grondin great. I'll check that out. Fish on!
Can you tell me if this boat is filled with foam or is it just air?
It is filled with foam for sure.
Do you have a Video on the table you Made ??.
Yes. Checkout the playlist...
czcams.com/play/PLEGSeaZQpEWO7AcOEoMIFPkaClePgIy1F.html
How wide is the table???
I believe it's 4 feet wide. Works great. Thanks for watching
Do you need to get a insurance for this small boat?..is it a requirement ??
It is my understanding that your homeowners insurance would cover your small boat etc.. Any drinking issues on the boat will cause issues to not be covered I guess... Fish on!
Why is there hardly any coleman crawdads boat modifications. Shown??????
Not familiar with those. Thanks for watching.
I know this guy, seen in Home Depot Stroudsburg
My fishing partner. Miss him for sure.
Yes love your review, awesome job, you and others help me make my decision, I order my boat from Bass Pro Shops, over here in Tampa Florida a week ago, and I also ordered a 4stroke 4Hp motor along with electric trolling motor and battery.
Enjoy the boat. Hope you catch a bunch of fish using it. Tks for watching.
The best part you can play poker on that table if the fish ain't bitin
Poker, watch TV on your phone... the possibilities are endless. Fish on!
What are your demensions on the table Do you have plans the you can e mail
48 inches wide by 24 inches deep. It is 3/4 inch. Plywood with one by one wood trim. Brackets for Pelican boat baought at Academy. Hope this helps. Checkout our other mod vids if you have time. They show the table getting built. I painted it with Flexseal..
I would like the instructions too.
darth vader behind the camera
+Keystone Angler lol.. maybe I shouldn't het so close to the camera. Or lose some lbs... ya. Prob that.thanks for watching. I AM YOUR FATHER...
the intro music tho....!!
Not an LL cool J fan?
I change it all the time too. Btw
You need to do close ups
Closer into the boat itself?
@@fishingwithvance yeah really detailed on how you set things up. But all in all 10 out of 10
Who is breathing so hard are the beginning of the video 😂?
Thanks me... I'm the camera man...
that looks cramped, nice tho
It is pretty sweet. Probably could be slightly smaller. Thanks for watching.
Heavy. Breathing.
That's me doing that. Need to drop some lbs I'm sure. Thanks for watching.
Ha. Decent mods man, keep fishing
looks kind of shotty
Like what Johnathan? The table that others continue to copy.... or... the pole holders... or the floor.. Please give me more details.
Thanks.
2:18 "wasted space" 13:03 "create a little more room" huh?
What is your point ?
@@fishingwithvance just curious about the size of the boat(i know 10 feet) but he said in the beginning "we have all that wasted space" then he mentioned shrinking up the table to "create a little more room". I'm really thinking about downsizing but still want "enough" room. His conflicting statements confused me.
The table table is 48in X 24in. The first table is still my favorite but we have built smaller ones now that work much better on single man trips. I think he meant the dead space in the middle of hte boat prior to the table. The table makes it much easier to get to tackle. I really can't reach gear on the floor of the boat very easily. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Improve your audio
Thanks for the feedback Eddie. Working on improving every day. Fish on!
Camera guy is a serious mouth breather. Hard to focus, sorry not sorry
Camera "guy"is Vance. And yes Joe I breath heavy cause likely I'm overweight. Sorry its distracting to you Joe. Well actually I dont give a F### Joe.
