You should be able to get them on the classicaccessories website, but I found that they often are out of stock on various parts and pieces. Could be easier trying to find it on ebay or even fabricating one yourself.

It would not move it fast enough to go against 5mph current, but it would definitely help maneuver through it, if it's deep enough. The other problem is the pontoon gets pretty squirrely when moving quick, so if you did get a motor big enough, it'd be a challenge to keep it pointed upriver while also fighting the current!

I don't remember - The base pontoon didn't need to be registered in my state, so I never had to worry about that!

I had a pretty nice hardware store nearby with a huge fastener section - I brought in the plates I needed to connect and found stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers that would fit between them. I wouldn't use anything but stainless, since everything's gonna get wet on the water and I didn't want to deal with rust or corrosion!

@@FishandForageThanks for the reply. I think I have it figured out now. Pan head course screws have been recommended to attach the swivel to the seat bottom. The rest is pretty straightforward. Thanks for the reply.

I used to have a 50AH lead acid battery, but switched to lithium, which is way lighter, but also more expensive...

I want to say it was about 7 or 8 inches, but depending on exactly where you mount yours, you may need a different length.

Just a deep cycle lead acid battery - I think it was about 50 or 60AH. I recently upgraded to lithium for my kayak and I'd recommend that if your budget allows!

I am/was worried about heat, but I used it for a solid season with no issues. I think they are cheaply built and prone to getting lemons, so you could get unlucky for sure...

@@FishandForage sounds good thanks!

You're gonna want to look for a pump or hose with a Halkey Roberts Valve nozzle. That's the fancy connection that's on my pontoon, at least. :)

Yeah I am pretty sure all the measurements and frames are the same for either!

Depends on the brand, reels will say 2500, 3000, 4000 or something like 25, 30, 40, ect. the bigger the number, the larger the reel, it's not really a specific size of anything, just a number manufacturers use to let you know how big or small the reel is :)

I used to carry it around in the back of a CRV with a weekend's worth of camping gear no problem :) I'm sure you wont have any issues with fitting in a truck bed!

Usually it took me 15-20 minutes, but I could get it closer to 10 if I was in a real hurry :) And yes, I deflated and stored them in the back of my CRV when driving

With a biiiit of clearance over my legs, yeah. Definitely not perfect, but workable on calm waters.

Nothing special - I have a liiiitle bit of clearance over my legs with just the riser itself with no other mods.

There's some nuance, but my understanding is that with bobber doggin, you generally want the bait to be dragging or bouncing off the bottom the whole time, where with standard drift fishing, you are setting the bait to drift through the run at a specific depth, not necessarily always along the bottom. I think a lot of folks will interchange the terms, so you may hear different opinions :)

Yeah I could see that working well! I like the PVC cause it's easy to slide on and remove without tools

Leader boards! amzn.to/3RI13Vi They come in a bunch of sizes. I think I bought some wide ones and just cut them in half.

I still use it. It's just 6 bolts to swap it in and I've had battery issues over the summer, so I like to keep it around!

@@FishandForage that's good

It's not hard to figure out where I am, but I will just say that someone can certainly drive to places where the regulations aren't the same :)

@@FishandForage I’m sure, just not in Oregon…

I got a bunch of vids where i'm standing and fishing. Check the bass ones!

@@FishandForage I saw them but it’s only from a first person view which doesn’t show me anything. I can’t gauge how stable it is by the view I get from your video. I would like to see a camera angle of someone being filmed and actually standing and fishing from a distance.

@@FishandForage yes from your view. From a first person view. But I have yet to see anybody film from a second person view of somebody actually standing up and fishing in it to show this stability of it while they’re doing it. It’s one thing to strap with GoPro on your head or your chest and stand up but that’s not showing you actually standing up in fishing.I understand what you’re saying but a second person view would do a lot better and convincing people that it’s possible and can be done.

@@FishandForage I like the modifications you did, and I’m actually using some of those modifications on my boat that I’m putting together right now.

I don't have any third person videos, I don't think. It's pretty stable, but I have decent balance, so if someone isn't very confident with their balance, I may be wary of them standing.

It's definitely a possibility. They are somewhat puncture resistant and you'd have to reef on the hook pretty hard to puncture it. Also patching the pontoons is pretty easy!
