Great video thanks for sharing. Well thought out boat mods.

Thanks. It's perfect for my lazy style of fishing.

Nice set up!! I have same trailer and similar boat (the basshunter pro 120). I haven’t used the trailer to launch yet (still using the wheel dolly I built for unloading out of the bed of my truck). My first question is about the pool noodle poles… i didn’t quite understand how you use them when launching?
Next question is I see your front seat mount is half under your casting deck. When/if you lean back in the seat while fishing or if you move from the front seat to the back seat and accidentally rest your hand on the back of the chair as you squeeze passed it doesn’t want to tip backward and/or lift the front edge of your deck up? Hopefully I described my question clear enough lol, I have the same style seat mount (even have the same 7” riser added to one. They currently tip if you rest any weight on the chair back when standing to move from one seat to the other. Huge thanks in advance you happen to see this and can respond!!

Sorry for the delay, I never received a notification of your message. I put the pool noodles down behind my boat, then roll it off the trailer onto them, which keeps me from scratching up the bottom. Where I launch, I can't back the trailer into the lake, and this works great. You can't really see it, but the piece of wood that is underneath the deck and is attached with a frame, keeps the deck locked down really snug, so the seat slides perfectly in the rails underneath it, and the weight of the deck keeps the seat firmly in place. I've been using it this way for over a year now and even with the riser under the seat, I haven't had the seat budge at all. Hope that helps. If you want to see a picture of the frame or a video of how it looks, let me know, I can shoot a short on that.

Hey Jerry, I see your in the great state of OK… I fish out of a 10’ Pond Prowler. What lakes do you fish?

[@jerryscrappielife]

I fish a private lake most of the time.

Just wondering if you could get anything else on a ten foot boat WOW

[@jerryscrappielife]

I'm planning to get a trolling motor with spot lock next. It's a never ending project but I enjoy the process.

What was mounted on the stern? A power pole? Sorry bud, I’m not familiar with that? What is it?

[@jerryscrappielife]

It's a micro power pole. Good for holding small boats in place as an anchoring system in 6 feet or less (when using an 8 foot pole.)

[@josephfitzpatrick8510]

Thank you.

Is your boat a 10ft? And is the trailer 10feet or 8 ft?

[@jerryscrappielife]

Sorry for the late reply. It's a 10 foot Bass Raider boat. The trailer is a Harbor Freight 48" x 96" foldable trailer.
