100% recommend. It's the most stable platform boat I've been on it's fantastic for such a small platform. I actually sold the one in the videos to a friend that kept bugging to buy it and I was looking to purchase another boat so I sold it but he uses it weekly and loves it too

I'm super busy at the moment but wouldn't mind helping you get some things done however I'm in NC where are you located?

I'm in wv, but I seen somewhere in the comments that you were in the Mooresville area so if you did help me get it rigged, I was gonna plan a weekend trip down there and fish lake Norman a day. Love that lake

@@devinshaw3521 yeah I am very close to Lake Norman in Troutman. What all do you plan on adding to the boat? I sold mine 2 years ago with an outboard addition on the back for a heafty profit and purchased a Tracker Boat but I absolutely loved it and once you get used to it it's the next best thing to having a big boat

I've got a brand new trolling motor I need to put on it. It's got one on it at the back but I wanna put the one I got up front like yours, plus this one has spotlock. Wanna take the trolling motor that's on it off and add an out board on back. Id like to get lights on it similar to how you had yours. I have know idea how to wire it all up lol I wanna put some electronics on it and livescope but might put that on hold at the moment, depends on how much I put into it lol. This stuff can get expensive lol

@@devinshaw3521 front mount TM is a must I did add an i5 with spot lock on it just for spot lock but I found i didn't use it all that much because you can fish all around the thing so gracefully. I did tons of research on outboards and that Suzuki 4 stroke really was the best option for the price I rode that motor for miles at a time getting to spots and it never failed and it was very quiet and not once did I run out of fuel even though I always kept one of those metal cans of fuel you can get at Lowe's as an emergency back up but the outboard made it way better. Just be ready for tons of people to wanna talk to you about it and call it a bathtub, hot tub, space ship and so on because I spent way to much time talking to people interested in what it was 😁. Drilling through 4 1/2 holes in it is the most important part to start to mount things and run wires....getting the angle just right on the TM block up front is tricky but that's probably the hardest part

I'm 200 lbs and stood on them no issues

With the limited bow of the boat it pushes water hard so you can expect about 4.7-5mph but it'll run for a long time on a tank

@@Kayakinbassbusta 'nother quick question: did you leave your battery in the back compartment once you mounted an outboard on it or did you move the battery to the front to balance it out? Mine was pretty back heavy with the batt and trolling motor on the back so I thought moving the battery up front with the trolling motor might help counter- balance the weight somewhat. Plus I could save on heavy duty cable if i don't have to run it all from the back.

@@robv60 I left it in the back because I had a Trolling motor mounted on the front so it offset the weight

They are a great little boat

2.5 Suzuki

It's worth it they are a blast and super stable

Pic is inverted dumbass

@d Mott I believe it's 1 1/4

🤣 you are exactly right.....I fished that little boat 3-4 times a week so I got a lot of practice

Thanks! And, No I don't but I should!

Fishing in it daily! Aluminum worked out great totally fixed the problem

@@Kayakinbassbusta could you please make a video showing how to improve transom for outboard? Thanks

@@dmott9750 so I ordered a 2x2 sheet of 1/8 in aluminum and made sure it ran from the bolted area all the way down to the bottom of the boat then cut out a slot where the drain plug is. Doing to from top to bottom allows it to transfer all the pressure to the most ridgid points then I lined up the bolt holes and bolted the plate to the back but I used some rubber washers from lowes on the back to isolate it from some pressure and vibration....I simply cut the aluminum with a jig saw with a metal blade then used a belt sander and file to smooth the edges

@@dmott9750 the 2x2 1/8th aluminum I purchased from Amazon for like $45

@@Kayakinbassbusta you put the same plate back over the aluminum as seen in this video? Nothing under there aluminum? Just trying to see exactly how since I'm ordering one and getting an outboard. Guess you had some bolts at bottom of aluminum and sealed with marine epoxy?

I used 1/8 www.amazon.com/dp/B0055OO2GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_5B2QEK21T8KWDE28KVGY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1#

I tried and it didn't work

1 1/4 pvc

@@Kayakinbassbusta awesome! Thanks for that fast response!

Don't be afraid to drill a few holes.....it's holding up great I fish it 2-3times a week

Great minds think alike I knew I'd front mount the motor on it the day I purchased it. Yeah it actually bends like that sadly with an outboard it puts too much thrust on it and actually pushes it against the drain plug making it hard to turn or even turn it all since I've mounted the plate I have no issues whatsoever doesn't bend at all

How did it work out?

@@Kayakinbassbusta it works out great.. I wish I had rails so it won’t float off while loading..

@@gregoryharris8477 yeah that was the good thing about the raised bunks it brought it above the water.

Could u post some of ur build info..

Gregory Harris 12 volt minn Kota with ipilot. Aluminum framed mount to keep the motor in center. This also allows for an aluminum graph mount. 16 LED flood lights for bow fishing. Interior lighting. Running lights. Switch housing. 3 lithium phosphate batteries to cut weight and offer more ah on the troller and to also power the massive amounts of illumination.

That’s a nice setup.. @john send some pics over..

Gregory Harris I am terribly ignorant on how to do that over TH-cam.

Gregory Harris I believe I may have figured out how to do that via email ported from TH-cam. I don’t know for sure though.

Yeah I was the same way trust me it's totally fine

Kayakin Bassbusta how hard was it to fish the wires from the front to the back were the battery is?

@@gregoryharris8477 not hard at all with the 4inch holes pulled them from hatch to hatch I drilled one in the right side of the battery compartment then used the water right wire grommets to feed them through

Send me an email and I will send pics mikel_2k1@msn.com

I'll do that next time I go out this week. It's real easy I pull it off with a rope then push it off the dock then pull it back on with a longer rope, I usually then jump in the back of the truck then walk on the front of the trailer to latch it to pull out

I honestly wouldn't have a clue but I can help as much as possible.

@@Kayakinbassbusta Could you please contact me on FB msgr and we could go over it? Looking to spend atleast 1000 for rigging.. John Geeze

@@Kayakinbassbusta When you have time ofcourse

Where do you live

@@Kayakinbassbusta Arkansas

Who's that roundabout watercrafts?

roundaboutwatercrafts.com/

I assume you need the batteries for the stadium lights required to bow fish? Otherwise that's total overkill for the trolling motor....I weigh about 190 and it only sits about a foot in the water and never gets close to the top side even if I stand on the edge

Kayakin Bassbusta yes. The excessive batteries is for lighting, graph, and trolling motor. I am running 16 flood lights.

It's actually on the second highest setting

Why I was asking is because I too just bought That motor for the roundabout. I haven’t got the boat yet to try it out. I am hoping that others chime in

It will flex....I adjusted the trim out because it was sending me to the moon trimmed in ......I'll have my aluminum plate tomorrow so I'll update on how it works afterwards

How did the aluminum plate work for you. I was thinking about using a cutting board

@@russelln114 it worked great, I used a cutting board at first and it flexed too much

Thanks! It's a great little boat and I've just added a 2.5hp Suzuki outboard but the motors thrust is a bit much and it pushes hard on the rear mount so I'm fabricating an aluminum mount for it...I will post an updated video after it's finished

@@Kayakinbassbusta How much would you charge to rig one out?

1100 boat, 860ish trolling motor motor, lights and wiring with fuse box, switch panel with volt meter and USB ports and trolling plug about another 200....now I run a Suzuki 2.5 which was 870, and humminbird Helix 7 Mega DI another 600....

Kayakin Bassbusta can you put links for all your upgrades? Also how do you feel about the two person seat upgrade for roundabout? Stability?

yup that's why it's in the box...still working great 3 years later

one spot I guess where it's not much mass behind the motor it holds it well....8+mph winds changes that

I have an xi5 on it which is remote controlled and has much more variable speed settings that can hold you on spots. It's not finicky either holds the line and tracks well

I will add you have much better maneuverability with it because it can rotate 360

yes sir! it's a fun little boat

674lbs

Not bad it's open on the inside it has some structural points but fairly hollow this is a great little boat

cutting the holes in the hatches with the right angle attachment and hole saw on the drill did the trick to gain access to the inside I sealed them with kayak type deck lids/hatches then ran the wires into the box and fuse block

Those are Hobie H rails And they mount using only one bolt through the bottom on each end

Thanks! It's a lot of fun. I use a group 31 Duracell deep cycle i can run lights and fish finder and troll for 12 hours easy just mostly short burst runs on the motor fishing spot to spot
