  • The Pelican boat is very inexpensive. How can I modify my Pelican? I will show you in this video. I have customized almost everything you will ever need on a fishing trip. Subscribe is you like the video.

    Just put 1 anchor in the middle works like a charm…I would put the trolling motor in the front.
    If you fish standing like me I put a deck over the entire boat with 3 cavities for storage in the middle.

    I bought the same boat last summer, haven't done any mods as of yet, love the flooring and will be my first mod

      Flooring makes a difference in a pelican boat.

    How high do you sit in that front seat? I bought a smaller platform like the one on the back seat, but the weather hasn't permitted me to get my new boat out yet. Since I fish alone, I cut some 3/4 inch plywood and made a 28" x 20" platform to put in front of my seat and it seems that might be a good addition for you, except you may have to go 28 x 14 since you can't back your seat up due to your backseater. Anyhow, just a thought.

  • @ronserps8489

    no battery?????....hahaha....that would help....nice video and they are great boats...I have the 8.5 footer....tight lines

    • @fishingalmanac7924
      @fishingalmanac7924  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The battery is too stinking heavy, I kinda forgot HAHA. It goes right in-front of the trolling motors.

  • @mr.skeptical3071

    Are those Berkeley rod holders just cut down to size?

  • @jack03111969

    Great video it would seem those boats that size one person and their gear would be ok but two people and all that gear would be crowded to me

  • @mr.skeptical3071
    @mr.skeptical3071 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does that floor padding rot?, Also is it as steady as a wood floor?

  • @reggiewhitehead3582
    @reggiewhitehead3582 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice only 1? I have is where do you keep the battery and how do you run your wires sorry 2? But overall good demo.

  • @thomasgarrison3949
    @thomasgarrison3949 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You forgot the battery & battery box. I would put it in the front, to level out the load, like I did with my 14 foot flat backed canoe.

  • @jackfunk5765

  • @MrTECHPRO2

    how did you make the milk crate table rod holder? I have many milk crates

    • @MrTECHPRO2
      @MrTECHPRO2 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      cut one in half than zip tied to act as a lid?

  • @ColonelKudzu
    @ColonelKudzu 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would be interested in knowing approximately how fast the 50 lb thrust would carry two people in the water on a relatively smooth surface?

    • @citizncain
      @citizncain 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have a similar boat with a 30lb. you can basically go all day. I took it home to recharge it barely made a dent.

    • @venomx4093
      @venomx4093 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      70mph lol. 3mph maybe

    • @fishingismydrug1
      @fishingismydrug1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Around 3mph.
      The pounds of thrust doesn't necessarily mean how fast you'll go, the pitch of the prop, and how many blades, determines that.
      The benefit of a 50# vs a 30# motor, is you'll get more life out of a battery with the bigger motor, as you'll be able to use it on a lower setting, thus using less power.
      If you really want to extend your runtime, get a digital (maximizer) trolling motor.

  • @MrStanmathews
    @MrStanmathews 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I didn't hear you mention the battery for the trolling motor.

  • @Tcat421
    @Tcat421 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    He puts the battery in at that time, and go's fishing at that time, lol

    How many square footage of the soft linking mats did you purchase for your bass raider to make it fit the platform interior? Or hope much is required? I'm looking at some right now. Thanks! Great vid!

  • @Tripsolo65

    cool mods, it is a shame though that you have to explain the anchors to hold in the wind, but you know someone just doesn't get it.

  • @bluewidow1734
    @bluewidow1734 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How much would that setup cost me? Everything you got there besides fishing rods n stuff

    • @fishingalmanac7924
      @fishingalmanac7924  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would without the boat around 50.00.

    • @venomx4093
      @venomx4093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The boat is around $500, plus whatever the guy has tied up in the rest.

    • @bluewidow1734
      @bluewidow1734 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      JackOfAllTrades awesome what is the Name of the boat? Im sure you said name of boat in video.. For $500 I'd rather have that than a kayak bout same price but seems like that is lot more room

    • @venomx4093
      @venomx4093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      blue widow Look up "Sun Dolphin 8.5 sportsman boat". Look up Pelican 10e. Look up Field & Stream Angler 8. All of those are basically the same. The video isn't mine. I'm only replying to your questions:)

    • @patrickfahie8671
      @patrickfahie8671 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      that guy again almost every video I have seen shows what to do with the battery. They often discuss the idea of making sure you bring two batteries.

    Y'all moving not fishing dang. To each his own but I could not enjoy a day fishing on that boat. Wayyy to much mess. 4 hours loading and unloading and an hour to fish... with stuff all in the way. Great job it's neat and all but just seems to much.
