  • Finally got around to showing off the footage from the Bass Raider since day 1 of the build. This little boat has been so fun to work on and take to the lakes. Easy to load, and budget friendly for sure. Just depends how crazy you want to get with your mods. List of gear below.

    Very impressive, much more customized than I made mine. I just throw the paddle and everything else at my feet. Even if you had to get a new hull, it looks like most of that can be easily transferred over and redrilled. I did more to my trailer for the boat than the boat itself!

    Really like your setup, so after a year in a inflatable kayak, that was killing my back I decided to get me a 10E too. My problem was there none in Phoenix AZ so last Saturday I drove 430 miles to El Paso TX to pick one up from Academy Sports. You have the best setup on the Tube so I’m hoping to get mine done up like yours. Just picked up Mercury 2.5 and Minn Kota 40 lb trolling motor. The Amazon boxes are show up now so it won’t be long before I’m on the water too. Thanks for your videos!

    I used this motor on my SunDolphin SunSlider paddle boat, czcams.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf as a substitute for peddling. i've used it once so far. My boats weight capacity is 545lbs. This 36ft lbs thrust motor propelled our little crew with ease. My friend, son and myself weigh 371 lbs combined, plus the weight of equipment. I truly enjoyed the little motor, it was super easy to install and works well. The motor itself is pretty lightweight. I will need to use it more to be able to comment on quality/durability. Many of the touch points are plastic which feels a bit cheap, but this is my first trolling motor so I don't know if this is normal. Considering the price point it's probably what you should expect. All in all I believe I got what I paid for and it does what I've asked of it. I would recommend. Kayak's, Canoe's, Small Dinghy's and Paddle Boats, I think its suitable for these applications.

    It's so nice to see a fellow Pelican Bass Raider owner post such a detailed video. Thank you so much for sharing the info. The quality of your video is top notch and your mods are super dope! I'll certainly be borrowing a few of these ideas. I've been scouting prices and models for a good outboard match. After seeing your video I'm convinced that the Suzuki 2.5 is the way to go.

    I agree. Wished you would have made video on slow step by step how to run wiring through body without splitting boat in half. Love what you did. I've had several pelicans and sundolphin boats. Honestly, their mire fun and maneuverable than big bass trackers. I just back my truck into water at tailgate with truck running. Push boat off and reverse.

    @czflyer3947 Před 4 lety

    Did similar to mine, all though not as many. Bought padded seats as part of the original purchase. Added a foot switch up front & spun the head around on the motorguide thruster 30 to make it bow mount. Handles wind better. Foot switch saves the tiller handle switch since you're not crankin it back & forth constantly. Also haul mine on an 8' flatbed carpeted utility trailer! Back it in just like a bass boat. Tried a 4hp air cooled outboard for about 15 minutes. Found it too awkward to twist around and steer it, plus it barely moved the boat with 2 large men in it. Sold the outboard immediately for $17 less than I paid for it. Not bad.😁

      I hear ya. I like medium size boats though. Only problem is having to store larger boats and worry about damage in areas. I will be able to pan fish and crappie in areas with a lot of lawdowns and lake feeding creeks. I'm not a pro athlete but a pro crappie eater. 😆

  • @carlralston8469
    @carlralston8469 Před 6 lety

    Great job and great video. Thanks for the comment on the shaft length. I still found myself watching your new video trying to determine how deep the cav plate is in relation to the hull/pontoon bottoms. It bothers me about having to raise it 1/2 inch and I don't like the pitch (or lack of pitch) of the transom - but that's Pelican's fault. I like the idea of the battery and the gas engine in the back, but once I remove my front battery (I carry 2 now), it seems like a lot of weight in the back - especially when driving it on gas with no passenger. I really like what you did with the front rod holders to get rid of the standard stock vertical mounts. Overall, the best Pelican videos on the web. Thanks for the help.

    • @TheMechnicalOwl
      @TheMechnicalOwl  Před 6 lety

      Thanks so much for the comments. I have not had to use the small plywood block on the Suzuki motor since the first run. I do not use reverse much when out on the water, so the shaft rub on the rubber edge of the boat does not rub down. I plan on adding a second recessed pole holder on the starboard side. I like to have one on each side for trolling.

There are countless videos of Raider modifications on CZcams, but very little tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice video! Good resolution shot with a pretty steady hand, not panning too fast enabling me to see what I was trying to see without struggling. Well edited, good use of music too (not too much or too loud). Good content, well done. You have earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the video and keep them coming. I would like to see more of what you do with your Bass Raider.
    I watched this video because I have been considering getting a Pelican Bass Raider 10E as well. I have a 24' sailboat and want to use it as a tender/dinghy. I intend to drag it in the water behind the sailboat and when I get to some shallow flats I will anchor in deeper water and then be able to use the Bass Raider in much shallower water. I live on the Gulf coast of Florida. I currently use a Hobie Outback for this but it is not nearly as stable of a platform as the Bass Raider nor does it have the weight capacity. I have a 2HP Honda 4 stroke that I intend to use on it.
    I like what you did with your Bass Raider. Your video has given me some inspiration as to how I will end up modifying mine when I get it. Looks great, nice and clean mods (well finished). I would have tried to limit the amount of new holes in the hull by putting the battery voltage monitor in the battery box lid rather than cutting a hole that large into the boat. As long as you keep an eye on it though and keep it sealed well, it should be OK. You don't want water intrusion into the hull, it will get really heavy and be a pain to get out. I have read some reviews from other people who have had issues with that.

    • @TheMechnicalOwl
      @TheMechnicalOwl  Před 6 lety

      Thanks Rory for the great review and thanks for Subscribing. It has been a fun little boat indeed and would like to move up to a larger fishing boat in the next couple of years. This one is also nice for lakes that only allow for electric only boats. As for your comment on the water getting into the hull, I have never had an issue with that yet. If i get any sort of water on the inside floor I use a sponge to mop up and ring out. The pontoon drains are high up and each side as you have probably noticed and I do tip forward occasionally to let out any small bits of water that might have squeaked past the edge liner. Then I leave them open for a couple days to completely dry out.

    @KenBuscho42 Před 3 lety

    Great ideas! I'm always reluctant to drill holes in boats, especially on the side where you have your transducer mount. What do you do to waterproof things after you do that? What kind of weight can you support on a mount like that (not that a transducer is heavy)? I've thought about installing a bimini, trying to work out some details 1st.

    • @TheMechnicalOwl
      @TheMechnicalOwl  Před 5 lety +4

      I just drilled the small holes in the middle and towards the stern to pass the wires back and forth. With all the hard Styrofoam it is challenging for sure. I suggest getting a second person to help with this. My wife was a huge help in getting the wires through the hull. If I were to do it again, not so sure I would have done all the extra work, but it does grab the attention of others. Using wire hangers to pass the wire through was also a big help. Once you get one wire through, attach a guide pull-wire so you can pull back and forth for future wire runs.

    Chris can you give more info on how you did your pvc rigging for poles and lights on the front of your pelican,please! I just bought the same boat and love your setup. We’d like to do the same but would like more info and punch list. Thank you so much.

    I really appreciate all the mods you did to your Pelican 10e. I need to find a way to modify mine so I can use oars. Do you have any tips or ideas?
