I have the same boat in the Field and Stream version. I didn't even try to use the seats. I switched them out with some from Academy. Love this little boat.
I used to have the pelican bass raider almost identical to this one. I miss it and I am looking for the bass baby with built in wheels . What I did for rod holders on my boat was to take a 1''x board and cut it so that it could fit under seats through the metal supports. On each end I screwed in proper rod holders and also battery operated lights underneath the ends which extended over the side for night fishing. The wood still moved fine when chair was slid forward and backward. Had great luck with that set up trolling.
I have this boat and yes the center standing room is tender to stand in and may rock the boat a bit. I went ahead and added a piece of plywood and i carpeted down the middle and i attached my battery box to it too. Works fantastic giving me more stability when i do stand. Also you mention about wishing it had compartments on the sides, well so I was wondering if maybe the sides can be modified by cutting into it to add some small compartments like plastic storage containers to storage some tackle. Just a idea im kicking around..
I have the 10' and by myself with just 1 battery, my backpack of lures and 1 seat it gives me (just enough) space to get around. With 2 you're very restricted but it's doable.
Great video I have the same boat I also use for catfishing. Basspro/ scottys makes a nice rod holder that secure very tightly to round rail. That’s what I put on mine, on the round hand rails on the side. Plus there removable from the base so you can pack them when trailering.
Great video. I have the same boat. I've had mine for a few years now. I love it. I've done a few mods on mine. My only real complaint is I bought the 8 foot. I wish I had bought the 10 foot. It's great if you are always by yourself but if you take someone, you'll wish you had the 10 foot for more space.
Good Job ,I just got a Raider 10e , Pretty Much The Same Thing or close it's just 10'2" but it's the Small pontoon boat I'm working on it now as well ,lotsa things PVC pipe is good for I'm experimenting with now dry storage compartments is one of those things I'm working on just not 100% on the Design yet , keep it rolling all ideas are definitely helpful ,tight Lines to ya 🦈🎣
This helps me alot was looking for battery for the boat and trolling motor thank u u should also make a deck fir it that would be really cool for fishing and for videos
2 people with just 2 poles and gear is pretty tight but doable. Now for a 10 foot like the pelican or something I think would suit your need so much better. Now the 8 foot was pretty stable but I never had gotten in a situation where I felt uncomfortable or anything.
FishingWithFlem it should I mean my Sentra is smaller and less hp and tq and this set up maybe weights 300 400 lbs max that’s with the trolling motor boat battery and all. What year is your Altima?

Thanks I wanted to to get one but you answered all my question.

Good review! Keep them coming! Happy Fishing!

Yeaaaaa 10 foot with 2 people is a must I would have to agree with you. After all your gear and loaded there is not much room for a 2nd person

I’m thinking about getting one of these this week. They seem to be highly customizable.
This helps me alot was looking for battery for the boat and trolling motor thank u u should also make a deck fir it that would be really cool for fishing and for videos
I have a 2x6 deck with 3/4 inch plywood. A minn kota terrova 55 with a 100 ah dakota lithium. A Triton bass boat seat and a power pole micro
In your opinion 8 foot boat with two people using it for duck hunting? Sturdy enough?
2 people with just 2 poles and gear is pretty tight but doable. Now for a 10 foot like the pelican or something I think would suit your need so much better. Now the 8 foot was pretty stable but I never had gotten in a situation where I felt uncomfortable or anything.
Thx for the review
Do you think a Nissian Altima could pull around this set up easily? Bc I’m really thinkin about investing but i only have a car to get places?
