Love watching the videos brother...my bass raider is being delivered on Monday and I will keep you posted on the mods which I will be using many of yours. Fish on!
Man! You got me going! I live in the San Antonio area and I plan on taking my raider to Chouke Canyon tomorrow or Thursday. I hear the white bass spawn season started late this year so I may still have a chance !
What's up buddy? Got my Raider all modded out and shopping for my motor and battery. Gonna start with 1 motor on rear transom...Minn Kota Traxxis 55 with 42" shaft. What Ah battery would you recommend? I'm trying to go Lithium, and don't want to buy 100Ah comparable to typical Deep Cycle Marine battery...($900!!) I saw a guy tie 2, 30Ah batteries in parallel, but no one ever give you an idea for how long they'll last for a day's worth of fishing???
This particular lake is a private community lake. I’d try Lake Sheldon, Huntsville State Park (Lake Raven), Lake Woodlands, and Lake Conroe (Stow Away Marina)! All the best!
I used self taping latch screws on the four corners of the casting deck and screwed the deck to the boat. For more details and instruction plans, check out the video link below. All the best! th-cam.com/video/M-BheDRAw58/w-d-xo.html
Evan, I’m gonna hang onto this boat for awhile! Keep an eye out on Craigslist and Facebook market place for a Raider. Thanks for your support and kind words! All the best finding you boat!
Brad, I’m really not sure b/c I’ve never ran anything higher than the 2.5hp. I will say I had transom flex even with the 2.5. If you try I would throttle up slow and monitor it as you go. However, the boat is rated for no more than a 3.5 (I think) so if your on a public lake that requires it to be registered and you’re motors HP is higher than allowed, you may get a ticket for it - just something to think about.
@@maxcastfishing4357 I saw a video with a guy who had a mercury 4 hp on his pelican. That engine weighs 56 pounds. Then I saw another video where a guy built a reinforcement for the transom with wood. So I'm not absolutely sure.
@@bradhuskers I’ve seen other guys run bigger motors as well on TH-cam. If recall correctly, one of them used a ratchet strap to keep the transom flex down. The transom flex on my Raider with the 2.5 was bad, which led me to build the wood transom saver. th-cam.com/video/_FgV9njH9sw/w-d-xo.html
Pre Spawn fun. Thanks for the video.
Yes sir, and thank you for the support!
What a blast. Your deck is super nice. Enjoyed it as usual. Fish on!

Thanks for your support! I’m excited for you! It’s so much fun working and modin’ the Raider. All the best!

I’ve heard some good things about Chouke Canyon! I hope to have the opportunity to fish it one day. Get out there and get hooked up!
You should add some scent to your plastics man. With scent thrust don’t just pick up and drop. Once they taste it they will hold on a lot longer.
I’m a huge believer in scents! I use this one: amzn.to/2VTvsUF
I live in Willis. Let's get together and do some fishing! I just got a pond prowler. Where do you fish? I usually go to stow a way!
Im still loving my MaxCast deck!!!
That’s awesome to hear!

"Get out of the water in front of my house, I own it"....
Okay, okay, just after I catch this 5lber!
What kind of screws or bolts did you use to make your deck permanent? Also, did you screw straight into your boat?
I used self taping latch screws on the four corners of the casting deck and screwed the deck to the boat. For more details and instruction plans, check out the video link below. All the best!

can I run my suzuki 6hp at half throttle?

Was the transom flex bad?
