Wow...thats really nice bro.
I jus got done with my pelican intruder 12 about a month ago.
Nothing on your level but I am proud of it being my first and only build.i get alot of compliments on it.
I wish I could share photos and short video with you,I don't have Facebook or any kind of social media.
That's tinyboat slutty, and I licked ettt!..lol .Nice job sir..Especially that bass..
Hell yeah...U got mine👍
Let's gooooo!
I wanna build myself one eventually.
Two years later this motor is going strong czcams.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
I am seriously impressed.
All the skills you throw down to catch fish with class. You fricken rock.
It is amazing what you can turn a little boat into. You are an artist in every sense of the word.
Just stumbled across this video. No doubt you have a creative mind. I have built a few river jet boats now, and have always used the Eva decking with lines. Now I’m thinking I need to redo mine. Great work man!
This is such a great video!
That craft looks like a blast!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for documenting your creativity! I wish I could do this!
Well done!!
Man that is awesome. Great vid. Looking forward to the next one.
Love all the builds, this would be a perfect backyard boat.
This thing is perfect size for the ponds around my house. Such a badass little build
Love this build....been looking at getting a pond prowler for awhile. After seeing this it's a go
I’ve been looking at one of these that’s been sitting in my grandpa’s backyard for a while but none of the conversions I had seen had been this professional you guys have inspired a new build thank you
Those little plastic boats rock. I power mine with a trolling motor and cruise all over on it. The Sun Dolphin 8 footer I have is unbelievably stable and gets into shallow water like a champ. I thought about mods for it, but the most it needs is bolt on stuff for what I use it for. Take it out on the water, you'll see.
Really intrigued by this build! Fun little boat for my family's small lake in Northern WI
The artwork that you did really is impressive....great job on that!
You earned my subscription. building out a bass raider right now. props to you for how far you’ve come and your artwork and love for art, one Love, brother.
Thanks for the sub!
This is such an awesome build! Totally do-able for the average Joe!
I love the channel and the idea behind it. Not very many Bass boats are set up for multiple conditions but a modified tin can is and can be optioned for any situation they see fit
So glad you made this video man. Kudos on such a killer job.
It was time
Great to see different kind of builds..
Awesome little project
Those boats are incredible!
Love the vids and the build absolutely amazing builds
I’ve watched your videos for like 2 years and now I’m building my own John boat. I just got to say keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Awesome job Mike 🤙🏾
Great build!
I would love this on a pond great work guys
Your builds are sick
Well, I didn't know this could be done to an 8ft plastic boat, but bravo, once again you rose to the challenge! It looks great! I want to take a 10fter or a Pelican 12fter and 'Tiny Boat Nation' It! Well done! I get what you mean about natural artists versus machines. Another awesome build! You make it look easy!
Sweet! Get r dun!
"THE ONLY THING THAT SEPERATES ME FROM A LOT OF THEM IS LUCK" Luck favors the prepared. Keep up the good work. Your an inspiration for so many.
Do you believe the winner thing
@@alanroberts3765 No
Awesome build!!
Wow, love that TINY boat!
I love it. Awesome job
That's one bad ass Pond Prowler. Nice work!
Thanks!
Looks great!
God bless you, brother! Awesome work!
Albert Einstein once said " Imagination is more important than knowledge" . T Rosevelt wrote " the man in the arena " . Both apply with Your efforts . Kudos . You get a well deserved Louisiana " Bon travail ! Tres bon ! Magnifique !
Looks nice, that tiny boat is packing alot of features for its size.
Incredible work there brother 👏
I've had my Pond Prowler for many years, I like it better than the other boat's I had in past. Now my Dad's 16ft pontoon boat has advantage's for bigger waters, but the pond prowler hasn't been to bad even on a few rivers even.
Love the content! Keep it coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Job well done. Like to see this look like a small pontoon with rails around it and small door on either side
I just became a fan of your channel nice work
Very inspirational, thx Michael
Awesome build. Wish I had those skills.
Dude your amazing great job 👍
Standing without dying,,, a plus,, great content
Great work!
Cool design of the leaping bass and splash of water image the bass made.
Thanks!
Great build
I’m glad you have the ability to think of these things for the rest of us. 😂
love these videos!
Thank you!!
I know I am late to the comment section here but I did have a suggestion for your artwork. I etch and carve quite a bit and the Dremel Stylo is a game changer for intricate detailed work like what you did on the fish/water feature. The line width is insanely thin and really allows you to do incredible detailed work. As you mentioned, the bits vary in width with some allowing lines like 0.5 mm, 0.7mm and probably finer. I can only imagine what you'd be able to do with one of those! Love the channel, content and all your work. Hope to be customizing my own 12-14' here soon!
Perfect for throwing in to ponds and no wake lakes... no trailer needed, just put.it in the truck bed... awesome man!
Wait I just saw the eyes (caps) and wondered how you would level it!) Awesome sir!
Looks bomb!
Awesome stuff man, got you a sub
Awesome I've wanted to do this before!
Those boats are both so sick
Appreciate it
awsome vid love your artwork as well
Thanks, Billy!
Bro, just came across your channel.. i'm sooooo Impressed.. i exceed the weight limit and my wife won't get on this lil piece of love. but oh so awesome.. Keep up the great work
Artistic and Functional
This would be a serious weapon for pond hoping in my area... currently dumping 16ft valco into ponds. i can only fish the ponds on weekends to access the ramp, but this would allow me to fish the ponds anyday of the week
I like that I may build one I fush in kayaks. But I like the way that turned out. Cool!
It was much better
Beautiful project guys! those little plastic dinghies are cool and nearly indestructable as well as stable...it would be cool to see a 16 foot version of one lol
wow awesome job
Thanks!
The yak killer is just awesome.
Dude that’s the sweetest build I’ve ever seen on one of those
Appreciate it
@@TinyBoatNation your welcome been watching your channel for a long time now I’ve used some of your ideas in my aluminum vhull and on a center console I just picked up but I have no where near the skill that you do your a true master artist at what u do and a inspiration to any one that watches your channel keep up the amazing work
Bro I just ran into this video...WOW you have some serious skills! That fish logo!
Thanks!
Cool idea!
I bought a roundabout because of this channel
Amazing how stable they are. The foam in the hull is water logged on mine and I’ll stand on the edge of it with no tipping. Definitely got my drive going to get mine rebuilt
Replace the foam
@@TinyBoatNation first thing I’m doing to it. Thanks for this build though.
Amazing!
Ive fished that lake many times great spot
Nice mod. Fun to watch
Came out nice. I need a small boat I can hail along when I'm pulling my camper. Was looking at a canoe or kayak but prowler might be an option too
Whoever told you that you couldn't do it , not only am I glad you proved them wrong but had it been me i would have told them too go bleap themselves because me personally am tired of hearing people telling people that they can't do something , you know what I'm saying !!! Anyway , this was an epic video , making the boat and putting in the your hard work . Thank you for sharing this video !!! 💯🙏😇✌️🙌💪😄✌️👍
Awesome build video, I would love to have something like that so I could throw it in the back of my truck and go fishing for a day
If you are ready, you don’t have to get ready… good job on being prepared and open to everything.
Scam?
I’ve been waiting to see this yak killer
Time well spent!
@@TinyBoatNation anything about fishing is.
Fantastic job ! I can't imagine all the work this takes like anything it's far more than one ever estimates. I'm thinking this size craft just isn't something that needs an extravagant deck. It works great as is I guess I'm sayin.
Long awaited.
You'll be glad you did.
Got to see a paddle boat done
Your so badass. Should be selling these in havasu I would buy one right now. IDC what the wife says it would make me so happy haha! Keep it up man. So cool.
Came out a treat🤙🇦🇺
Thanks!
Love the bump board routed right in to the turf, but a nifty little upgrade to it would be a button actuated pop up piece to actually bump the fish up to. Just a thought.
I've had a 8, and they are pretty stable. used mine on st.johns river in Florida
The 10 is better.
I would love to have one of these boats .
That is the perfect size for me to hit some of the smaller ponds and lakes in SE Michigan. Time for this old man to start searching parts and a base vehicle.
Check out our store! We have the parts there
@@TinyBoatNation I will. Love your vids.
That is good looking boat
Thank you!
Absolutely Awesome!!! Im hooked ! Just bought a pond prowler 90 yesterday for 150 with a minn kota 30# trolling motor! Only issue is a small crack on top left( silicone?) And i suspect water logged foam. ( its HEAVY)
Cool project, would love to take it out on the water 😂
Nice setup. Wish I could do something more to my bass raider
You can put foam shop mat on the floor , looks great nice job
Both are kinda nice .. excellent craftsmanship sir.
But I dig the OG boat..just cuz it looks like it feels like a pro boat. And has all the storage I'd need
Agreed
This is sweet I want one of these to take my foster kids on
Impressive
I'd be really interested in what you could do with a kayak. They have become so grossly over priced, for a "fishing" model. I have a sit on top, non-fishing cheaper pelican, 10ft. I'd be super interested to see what you could do with one. Keep up the good work, love that your not afraid to fail and do something differently for the community.
Coming up next
@@TinyBoatNation 👍 The biggest downfall for me and what I think makes people the most uncomfortable is storing your crate behind you, and having to turn around. Looking forward to seeing your work.
Best cheapest fishing kayak I bought is a lost creek pro angler 12 peddle drive. It was like 1800. Still a lot. But better priced than most other brands. And it’s an amazing kayak as far as strength, weight, and it’s superrr sturdy on the water. I can’t flip it
Look up the Rick skiff and most people will fiberglass them.
Nice!
Thanks!
Sick
