Bass Pro Pond Prowler 2 - (Upgrades and modifications)

How I took my Bass Pro Pond Prowler II and made it my own little piece of paradise

[@fatherson6046]

My Dad bought us a similar boat when i was 13! He drove me all over and would drop me at a farm pond and come pick me up hrs later. Great memories. Your videos are great to watch!

[@crappiemastertv3847]

FatherSon 604 thanks for watching and commenting. That’s the beauty of those small boats you can get into places others can’t.

[@walterpalmer2749]

Very smart. Your little boat and motor is both affordable and manageable. You don't break the bank to have fun. Perfect little rig.

[@GoatyHerps]

I am wanting one of these and was trying to imagine a way to roll it down to the water by myself. I am SO glad I watched this. Your idea is so simple and so perfect. Thanks!

[@crappiemastertv3847]

No problem. Glad it helped. Harbor freight and Home Depot are my friends

After you have fished for 3-4 or more hours......THEN ya get to pull it back to the truck..,

[@samthompson1270]

Crappie Master you have an awesome set up on that boat. I've got a Pelican 10E that I've tweaked out with a table in the middle and some other luxuries. I got some of my tips from watching Fish With Vance and a few others. I love watching you and Cam both and you do a great job passing along tips for the rest of us. I'll try to send you a picture of it. Keep the videos coming though. You're doing a great job and Thank You for your service.

Sam Thompson sounds like a sweet setup. I need to do a few more mods that I’m working now.

Great video. My wife and I are trying to make up our minds between a Sun Dolphin Sportsman 10 or the Bass Pro Pond Prowler. We like the idea of being able to haul it in our truck and I really like the idea of the two-wheel dolly. I really enjoyed all of the mods and upgrades that you did and you gave me a lot of ideas.

Thanks. Outboard was a must. I’ve gone from Helix 7 to Garmin 73sv and Livescope, boy is it fun. Tight lines.

[@BrakerOfStones]

I had one for 4 weeks. Had a 55# minnkota on it. I could cautiously stand and with motor going just lean a little to turn. I returned it tho. Had the 8’ one. I’m 6’3 400# and it wasn’t stable enough for me to turn and stand. Put outriggers on my canoe and the minnkota and am happy. Also bought an old skit boat and trailer with the $500 I had from returning the pond boat. May try again if I ever get down to 250lbs

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Understand. I had an 8’ bass raider and wanted something bigger and more stable. I like the Pond Prowler design but the material on the bass raider was better.

Thanks for this video man because i was actually looking for some sort of direction to take as far as the setup is concern! My thoughts and habits are systematic as well although i never did a day in the military (THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE) but i was raised by parents who were the "no nonsense" type.

[@crappiemastertv3847]

George Faulk I got a great deal on this one. Some guy said he purchased two by mistake. I paid $475, retails for at least $750. I hear Suzuki is a bit lighter. I also saw a few on eBay for a little cheaper but not a brand I have heard of

[@georgefaulk2528]

I wish I would have purchased the 3.5hps. Looking for one now. I can’t speak on the Jon boat but would assume if you’re concerned with weight the Jon boat might be a concern

The Jon boat and the pontoon are roughly the same weight. The differences are how much you can put on each boat, materials they are made from, and price. I have plenty of time to decide, though. Up north, the snow is still on the ground right now and I will have to wait until April or May to get both the boat and motor. More pennies to be saved to get better stuff. @@crappiemastertv3847

[@GRANTKEEL]

Been fishing out of kayaks for a few years now but been looking at getting a 2 man boat that I could stretch my legs a little more in and also haul a second person and one of these boats seems great. My only question is how well does the trolling motor push it in wind? Say I’m a good distance from the launch and the wind picks up, Will the trolling motor push it good enough to get me back?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Thanks for commenting. I hate to give this answer but it depends. The issue is often with the battery. I got tired of fighting it and purchased an outboard. See one of my other videos on the boat. With that said if I did it again I would get a 3.5hps

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Trolling motor is ok but the outboard is definitely much better

[@GRANTKEEL]

Crappie Master TV thanks for the quick replies! That’s what I was thinking. Most of the places I’d fish I would probably be fine to get back to the launch but I was also hoping to also use it as a mode of transporting myself and my decoys during duck season. Currently I’ll paddle up to 2 miles in the marsh to get to my spot (then 2 miles back) and we’ve even used a canoe with a trolling motor and it did great making that trip (just not very stable). Figure as long as I monitor the battery charge or possibly bring a second battery one of these boats with a 55# thrust TM should do the job too.

[@crappiemastertv3847]

GRANT KEEL I always use two batteries even with the outboard

[@dustynnorton4943]

I’m looking at buying one of these small boats for the little holes in my area for my son and I to fish out of , I’m thinking I’d only run a trolling motor in ours but it seems to me you waste a lot of time setting up before getting in the water whereas if the boat was on a trailer with everything preloaded it would just be as simple as backing in and sliding off... for me with a 4x4 truck I can get in most the places I’m talking of going without an issue I don’t know I that’s an issue here or not

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Great boats. I live in a townhouse so no place for a trailer right now. It’s coming though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I get that. Gotta improvise. I like the setup on it . Personally I have a big boat with gas motor for larger water I’d only be looking to use this in small creeks like I said I think I might of found myself one local used... $500 for a 10ft with 2 seats and a 45lb thrust

Nano Fish Master funny you should ask. Finishing up one now with some of that in it. I’ll do a few cutaways and show you what Crappie look like on the screen.

Crappie Master TV we should fish there some time I fish there to on my kayak how can I get in contact with you sir

[@crappiemastertv3847]

365 FISHING I’m there nearly every weekend. If you see me on the water stop over.

[@EmilyTienne]

Nice set up but is there any space left for your catches?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Lol, it’s a little tight but I make it work

[@EmilyTienne]

@@crappiemastertv3847 I think I’m going to buy one of these. Love the fact you don’t need a trailer. Your 2x6 wheel setup is simple and sweet! Thanks for the video.

[@crappiemastertv3847]

No problem. Enjoy

[@billymarkwell1105]

interesting setup.......I look at everyone's mods to see if there's anything that I might want to use to make mine better......

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Thanks. Hope it helped and thanks for watching

On that Mercury, did you think the shaft of 15” was a little short for the Prowler? I measured mine up and it showed I should get a long shaft. What are your thoughts?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Wish I had purchased a long shaft as well but it works and I got a great deal on it.

[@sutv6754]

I saw until the end. I see they are not the oridnals. Where did you get them. Can I buy them somewhere

[@horacelee880]

Man I just love your Video`s Crappie Master!I have a Pelican Bass Raider 8 that I converted into an 8e since they were no longer in production when I purchased mine.I Ran the wires thru the hull from front to back and since I only fish alone I just love for creek fishing. I also saw that video about the little dolly so I made one myself just like you did!lol I`m thinking of following your idea of the foam on the fishing rods but I don`t know the material you are using or where to get it. Could you advise?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Horace Lee sweet. Sounds like a nice rig. It’s just pipe insulation that you can get from Home Depot

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Horace Lee and zip ties

[@horacelee880]

@@crappiemastertv3847 Any particular size pipe insulation? I have a couple Jimmy Houstons 10fters but mine are thinner above the grips than yours i`ve noticed

[@crappiemastertv3847]

@@horacelee880 I just took the bottom portion of my rod into Home Depot and got the size that fit the best.

[@scotthemstreet9065]

I really like the seat upgrade, what kind are they? Easy swap on the seat mount?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

www.bassboatseats.com/products/fs30 Very easy to swap.

[@280zGaitan]

Can I use this boat or similar like a Pelican Bass Raider in a lake not a pond. I am guessing there should not be a problem. What about using a 4hp outboard or is it too much for the boat?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

The only issue I think would be wakes from those with big boats. I think it’s rated for 5hp but need to confirm

[@gregorysherman7653]

Great Rig, I’m digging on the 2x6 with the wheels been fighting with mine for a few years, can’t say thanks enough for the video. And the rod holders was what I was searching KZbin for. How does that 2.5 hp motor do for you?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

No problem. Happy to help. The outboard is ok but if I was doing it again I would get a 3.5.

[@mk3ftmfw]

Very cool. I have the same boat. Hows it do with the weight of the trolling motor and outboard? Have you ever had two people in it with both motors?

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Thanks for watching. I have had two folks with both motors, two batteries and some gear. No issues at all and I’m about 209

[@kartersnyder4289]

Keep it up man

[@iamremyAdventures]

Nice Rig....!! when I come up to Maryland Im getting on that boat....lol

[@crappiemastertv3847]

i.am.remy thanks bruh and thanks for always showing love.

[@user-wo7rp6bc6t]

How heavy is that motor? And what is the cost? Nice boat

[@crappiemastertv3847]

Oh sorry for the tardy response. I’m not sure of the weight but I’m going to estimate about 130 lbs. I caught it on sale at Bass Pro but think they got for about $6-700. Thanks
