Took mine out for the first time today with a friend and I love it. Best money I ever spent. 1,098.36 for the boat 30 thrust, battery, trickle charger, life vest, throw device, paddle and some other stuff. Still that’s very affordable. And lights. Gonna use whistle and fire extinguisher off my company truck. No sense in buying something I already have access to. 😬love the vid brother.
I used this motor on my SunDolphin SunSlider paddle boat, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf as a substitute for peddling. i've used it once so far. My boats weight capacity is 545lbs. This 36ft lbs thrust motor propelled our little crew with ease. My friend, son and myself weigh 371 lbs combined, plus the weight of equipment. I truly enjoyed the little motor, it was super easy to install and works well. The motor itself is pretty lightweight. I will need to use it more to be able to comment on quality/durability. Many of the touch points are plastic which feels a bit cheap, but this is my first trolling motor so I don't know if this is normal. Considering the price point it's probably what you should expect. All in all I believe I got what I paid for and it does what I've asked of it. I would recommend. Kayak's, Canoe's, Small Dinghy's and Paddle Boats, I think its suitable for these applications.
Very impressive, much more customized than I made mine. I just throw the paddle and everything else at my feet. Even if you had to get a new hull, it looks like most of that can be easily transferred over and redrilled. I did more to my trailer for the boat than the boat itself!
I agree. Wished you would have made video on slow step by step how to run wiring through body without splitting boat in half. Love what you did. I've had several pelicans and sundolphin boats. Honestly, their mire fun and maneuverable than big bass trackers. I just back my truck into water at tailgate with truck running. Push boat off and reverse.
You have made some great mods to your Raider. After reading the comments, I realize that you have sold it. However, after looking through your videos , what I was hoping to find were videos of how you did the things you did. There are countless videos of Raider modifications on TH-cam, but very little tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Did similar to mine, all though not as many. Bought padded seats as part of the original purchase. Added a foot switch up front & spun the head around on the motorguide thruster 30 to make it bow mount. Handles wind better. Foot switch saves the tiller handle switch since you're not crankin it back & forth constantly. Also haul mine on an 8' flatbed carpeted utility trailer! Back it in just like a bass boat. Tried a 4hp air cooled outboard for about 15 minutes. Found it too awkward to twist around and steer it, plus it barely moved the boat with 2 large men in it. Sold the outboard immediately for $17 less than I paid for it. Not bad.😁
It's so nice to see a fellow Pelican Bass Raider owner post such a detailed video. Thank you so much for sharing the info. The quality of your video is top notch and your mods are super dope! I'll certainly be borrowing a few of these ideas. I've been scouting prices and models for a good outboard match. After seeing your video I'm convinced that the Suzuki 2.5 is the way to go.
Vj O thank you for your nice comment. I enjoyed this little boat very much, but have since sold it and moved on to another. I would like to get another small boat for electric only bodies of water. Have a great day and happy fishing 🎣
Man you did an awesome job. I want to buy one and now I will. I’m 330lbs Pro Athlete and hate having big boats I have to repair all the time. So this would be nice for me.
I hear ya. I like medium size boats though. Only problem is having to store larger boats and worry about damage in areas. I will be able to pan fish and crappie in areas with a lot of lawdowns and lake feeding creeks. I'm not a pro athlete but a pro crappie eater. 😆
Had the same boat and trailer for 7-8 years also rigged up with troller in front 2hp Honda on back and fish finder hard wired on as well.... Great lol fishing boat! Awsome for trolling for strippers. Anchoring down and catfishing with dip bait also excel in that boat! I put a cooler in the front and made my fishing buddy use that as a chair so we always have cold drinks I also cut out piece of three-quarter inch green treated plywood and laid it between the chair rails in the front as a platform when bass fishing alone worked perfectly great job buddy sure got lots of great memories in mine and I hope you make plenty and yours as well!
You didn’t spend to much on if your happy with it I’m happy for you that you did it and to have someone that likes going out on the water fishing with you Have a VERY GREAT TIME !!:-)
Awesome job, I miss my little pelican, I was overboard on mine also, wood decking with marine carpet, pro recessed seat poles, 4 29dc cell batteries, lights, terrova 80 on a raised from deck... Miss the swallow water and stuff I could get that thing into on smaller lakes... Love how you did your boat bro... Very well done... And a pretty girl to out fish you? Even better... My girl loved going on the little boat... Thanks for the video...
@@bipedalhominid6815 exactly. If i can't mount a nice foot control trolling motor on the bow i wouldn't have it. From the looks of the bow of that boat it doesn't seem possible
Just got a bass raider 10 e and I am trying to do this exact thing ! I love the cleanness of the boat . Very nice mods! I wish you did a video of how to do the wiring ! I am clueless !!!
You did a great job. I have one too I bought second hand. The top half is separating from the bottom half. Need to find the rubber trim to seal them off, then I will be back on the water.
Very nice video! Good resolution shot with a pretty steady hand, not panning too fast enabling me to see what I was trying to see without struggling. Well edited, good use of music too (not too much or too loud). Good content, well done. You have earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the video and keep them coming. I would like to see more of what you do with your Bass Raider. I watched this video because I have been considering getting a Pelican Bass Raider 10E as well. I have a 24' sailboat and want to use it as a tender/dinghy. I intend to drag it in the water behind the sailboat and when I get to some shallow flats I will anchor in deeper water and then be able to use the Bass Raider in much shallower water. I live on the Gulf coast of Florida. I currently use a Hobie Outback for this but it is not nearly as stable of a platform as the Bass Raider nor does it have the weight capacity. I have a 2HP Honda 4 stroke that I intend to use on it. I like what you did with your Bass Raider. Your video has given me some inspiration as to how I will end up modifying mine when I get it. Looks great, nice and clean mods (well finished). I would have tried to limit the amount of new holes in the hull by putting the battery voltage monitor in the battery box lid rather than cutting a hole that large into the boat. As long as you keep an eye on it though and keep it sealed well, it should be OK. You don't want water intrusion into the hull, it will get really heavy and be a pain to get out. I have read some reviews from other people who have had issues with that.
Thanks Rory for the great review and thanks for Subscribing. It has been a fun little boat indeed and would like to move up to a larger fishing boat in the next couple of years. This one is also nice for lakes that only allow for electric only boats. As for your comment on the water getting into the hull, I have never had an issue with that yet. If i get any sort of water on the inside floor I use a sponge to mop up and ring out. The pontoon drains are high up and each side as you have probably noticed and I do tip forward occasionally to let out any small bits of water that might have squeaked past the edge liner. Then I leave them open for a couple days to completely dry out.
Great job and great video. Thanks for the comment on the shaft length. I still found myself watching your new video trying to determine how deep the cav plate is in relation to the hull/pontoon bottoms. It bothers me about having to raise it 1/2 inch and I don't like the pitch (or lack of pitch) of the transom - but that's Pelican's fault. I like the idea of the battery and the gas engine in the back, but once I remove my front battery (I carry 2 now), it seems like a lot of weight in the back - especially when driving it on gas with no passenger. I really like what you did with the front rod holders to get rid of the standard stock vertical mounts. Overall, the best Pelican videos on the web. Thanks for the help.
Thanks so much for the comments. I have not had to use the small plywood block on the Suzuki motor since the first run. I do not use reverse much when out on the water, so the shaft rub on the rubber edge of the boat does not rub down. I plan on adding a second recessed pole holder on the starboard side. I like to have one on each side for trolling.
Wish there was a more in depth video on how you built this. I can’t even begin to say how awesome this is man, you did a hell of a job I wish I could build me one
I credit these mods to everyone who had also posted their modifications on TH-cam and other sites. I simply took ideas from many and tried them out for myself. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Send me a video link when you can.
The Mechnical Owl I really only watch TH-cam videos I don't make them you know but I am in North Carolina and if you ever want to meet up one day and see what I've done to mines and it ain't much but it's what I like and what I prefer it be for me you know and fishing out of it it's perfect for me so whenever you want to meet up at a lake you know let me know you know I always go to Falls Lake Jordan Lake you know it doesn't matter to me which one you want to go to
I am out in the Cleavland County area close to Moss Lake about 3 hours from you unfortunately, but if your out this way hit me up and we can hit the lake.
Completely badass! Bro this is the best one I've seen yet. And the background music is perfect. I got some questions one pvc pipe size. Get with me if you can. And always keepem tight
Unfortunalty I did not do a wiring video. Everything was 12v with simple toggle switches used to illuminate the lights and turn on the voltage meter. Nothing too crazy. You are going to love your Pelican. Please send me a video link of yours if you do any updates. Cheers!
I’d like to talk with you some time about how hard it was to fish the wiring. I assume it proved to be quite tedious and difficult since a lot of them run under the mat down the middle of the boat. I’ve bought a Yak Power system to install on my Raider. I’m putting the bow red and green, stern light and some button lights inside and a couple of strips of leds on the outside. Also I’ll probably run the fish finder through the system. If you have some time I’d love to pick your brain. Thanks, Chuck
Yes, running the wires through the hull was challenging and my wife was extremely helpful using a flashlight and wire hangers to help guide the wires through. Once we got one wire through it was way easier to then tie on additional wires to pull. I have since run a small plastic ammo box that I run the fish finder off of.
Chris can you give more info on how you did your pvc rigging for poles and lights on the front of your pelican,please! I just bought the same boat and love your setup. We’d like to do the same but would like more info and punch list. Thank you so much.
I am trying to wire my boat up similar to this to for navigation lights and a fish finder.. I am looking for some insight on how to do it. You got me stoked.
people laugh at these little boats but what they don't realize is they can be stored almost any where you have the space, there great for kids, they don't sink, their very stable in the water and while you might never get one up on plane a 36 lb trust trolling motor with a proper deep cycle marine battery will push one around all day long at full throttle.
Man, I REALLY would love to see how you did a lot of this! I cant seem to figure out how I would run my wires and set up that switch panel. I'd love to have my Pelican looking this fresh!
I just drilled the small holes in the middle and towards the stern to pass the wires back and forth. With all the hard Styrofoam it is challenging for sure. I suggest getting a second person to help with this. My wife was a huge help in getting the wires through the hull. If I were to do it again, not so sure I would have done all the extra work, but it does grab the attention of others. Using wire hangers to pass the wire through was also a big help. Once you get one wire through, attach a guide pull-wire so you can pull back and forth for future wire runs.
@@TheMechnicalOwl Amazing mods! Did u consider running all the wires inside the hull so u didn't have to run them down the middle of the bottom and add a floor to the boat? Does having the wires in the bottom of the boat prevent u from washing boat out with a hose?

Very slick! Pelican makes a great product. Having same fun with my Catch100 kayak.
Outstanding mods.....Question on how you affixed the back wire cover plate that also supports your pvc solar light to the boat?
The back wire cover simply fits snug and light was affixed using a conduit u bracket.
Many thanks, i was hoping i could avoid any more holes...

Great looking boat
Nice job on the mods. Does that suzuki have a 20" shaft? Or is it a 15" shaft?
Thank you - yes they have a 20 inch version. onlineoutboards.com/collections/suzuki-outboard-motors
@@TheMechnicalOwl Thank you. So is the one you are using on your boat the 15" shaft version?
@@MrSirPhase3 yes
Man, I REALLY would love to see how you did a lot of this! I cant seem to figure out how I would run my wires and set up that switch panel. I'd love to have my Pelican looking this fresh!
I just drilled the small holes in the middle and towards the stern to pass the wires back and forth. With all the hard Styrofoam it is challenging for sure. I suggest getting a second person to help with this. My wife was a huge help in getting the wires through the hull. If I were to do it again, not so sure I would have done all the extra work, but it does grab the attention of others. Using wire hangers to pass the wire through was also a big help. Once you get one wire through, attach a guide pull-wire so you can pull back and forth for future wire runs.
@@TheMechnicalOwl Amazing mods! Did u consider running all the wires inside the hull so u didn't have to run them down the middle of the bottom and add a floor to the boat? Does having the wires in the bottom of the boat prevent u from washing boat out with a hose?
Great job on all of the mods, really looks great!
