Congrats on the new boat! You see those on LAKE ALLATOONA in Georgia. Very stable, 👍 yes. Considering that ALLATOONA is the 2nd largest man-made lake in Georgia and has wicked currents it's good for handling all that. That said, it only had one person on today. With two people watch your water line and the front in waves and chops .. not raised high and a square front-end doesn't do as well as your Salty in that stuff. I sure will enjoy seeing your videos on your boat too!
Have the same boat and have the upgraded mesh seats. Similar to your kayak seat. Only thing about turning the head on front trolling motor is you have to drop it in water farther so blades don't hit the pontoons when turning. Have a trolling motor on both front and back when two people are in it.
Aye Larry I had one at one point, you can leave the trolling motor up front just turn the head(speed control) around, its one screw, then the motor will be facing forward while you steer.
I had one of these bro, don’t bud a deck just cut a good board if you want to Mount the foot control and just sit it in the bottom of the boat,, I did a anchor system on mine as well, but you shouldn’t flip it, and you can get it in super shallow areas too we use to put mine in small creeks and float to the bigger places it ran into
Two years later this motor is going strong th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
Many years ago, I had a Bass Hunter boat that was just like that. I loved it and kept it until it got compromised because of sun damage. I didn't have a place like a garage to keep it out of the sun and weather. I miss it!
I have one of these and it is about ten years old. It’s been left outside the whole time rain snow and everything even had a flood take it off the back of a pond dam a mile alway through the woods and in a river and got hung in a tree that was about 8 feet up after the water returned to normal. Still floats and functions fine, I used it yesterday. Through all the sun there isn’t any cracks or anything the only thing is the handle got torn off in the tree and halfway separated the top and bottom of the hill but with a few minutes of pulling and restappling it was back in operation and has no leaks.
There's a screw on the head of the trolling motor that you can remove and turn the shaft 180 degrees so you can use forward instead of reverse. Not sure what you paid but looks decent to me.
Congrats Larry on the new boat! We lost it when you said, "All boats float for a little while, while they're sinking." Lmbo!! My wife said, "That's right Larry, check that sucker out before you get into deep water." Lol!! Again Congrats!!
Nice catch dude!! I've been looking at buying your model of boat and also the Bass Pro Pond Prowler. I hate it when you think you have a nice one hooked and then it gets away!! Wishing you a big bass catch of the day!!!
Just curious I was wanting to buy something like this what year is this one I'm worried to buy an older model how's the condition of this one is there any soft spots
Hey Larry My brother has one of those boats and your going to have a blast great stability Larry you can stand on the edge of that boat and it won't flip over I think he bought it from bass pro shops. But have a great time on it God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
Do a TH-cam search for converting a bow mount trolling motor to a transom mount trolling motor. Quite simple. You just take the head loose and rotate it 180 degrees.
Nice boat and yes, get a live scope for your boat!!!!!
Dude I have to same one! Owned it about two years it’s awesome for me. Welcome to the raider gang!
bro those little pond hoppers are the best I have 2 use them in my videos all the time for me and my dad . Great investment

Nice boats. I have one. You are running your boat backwards... The battery hookup is the back of the boat.

Good to know man!
I just recently bought a Pond Prowler from Bass Pro.. basically same thing. Hell of a deal you got there!

Congrats it's been a while since I've been on mine
I’ve never heard of that boat but very impressed with the room stability and width of it like it heaps 👍🏼
I enjoyed your video. I'm curious which kayak you have.
Nice catch dude!! I've been looking at buying your model of boat and also the Bass Pro Pond Prowler. I hate it when you think you have a nice one hooked and then it gets away!! Wishing you a big bass catch of the day!!!
Thanks man! Same to you! Don’t forget about facebook marketplace that’s where I got this one from. Great place to get a deal!
@@LarryMeltonJr Not on Facebook. No social media for me.
@@LarryMeltonJr I'm looking at the 10' Pond Prowler from Bass Pro Shop.
Great video!
You can switch the head of the trolling motor around. It should be only one bolt holding it in place
Learned that quickly after watching some youtube reviews 🤣
I was going to say the same thing too.
Just curious I was wanting to buy something like this what year is this one I'm worried to buy an older model how's the condition of this one is there any soft spots
Hello .... do you know if you can put a live scope on the boat?
I’m sure you can mount it. There are probably some aftermarket parts that you can use to mount it with
Bass Brothers dmv has some good videos on them boats
Gratz bro^
Sup Larry. Great little boat. You will figure everything out. Sure you will get help in comments👍
Awesome 👍

Nice boat!!❤️
Thanks mother!
i call dibs on fishing in larrys new PELICAN!
come on down man!
Been saving to buy me on of these. Hows it holding up for you and have you made any more changes?
Nice addition to the arsenal. Just by a trolling motor with a wireless remote control. 🚤

Which do you use more? The kayak or this boat?
Got one of those myself great boat and easy to mod to make it what u need
I have a 8 footer and love it. Are you still enjoying yours ?
Actually don’t have it anymore! But it was a good boat! I loved it!
Love my pelican just becarful putting your rods on the side cause they will fall out had to go swimming for one of mine
Which is more stable this boat or solo in the 12 foot jon boat??
Thank You
What happened to the twin troller Larry?
You eating good my boy
They are decent boats until you get water inside the pontoons. Definitely recommend getting at least a 12ft aluminum boat.
I have a boat just like your boat .. I really like mine.. lots of fun..
Mann I getting one of these
Your settin backwards..they only come with rod holders in front..that way too..trolling motor won't always be in reverse
Get a 40 thrust transom mount trolling motor
Needs live scope this is an epic set up
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice vid. I was wondering about those boats. They seem pretty good in my opinion
I have one also if you would like I could send you pictures of how I have it set up
first!! i have the same boat...LOVE IT!!!
battery holder is the back of the boat
Turn the head of the motor around the other way
Live scope petition
Reverse polarity or your battery. Red to negative black to positive and it will be reversed
Pimp out the pelican with used marketplace stuff
Look up cattail bow mount trolling motor plate for the bass raider
Yea you need to get a 14 foot jon boat
Lol yo I don’t F¥^k wit snakes either coming from Jersey to mow living in SC I’m not use it them AT ALL I see one fishing may be done for the day lol
I’m saying man. Snakes are not my thing
@@LarryMeltonJr 😂 TRU!!
Live scope
You had it backwards fyi
Bro just turn the seats around
John 3:3 in the Bible: Jesus replied, very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again
