Pelican Bass Raider 10e Review + Mods! (I finally got my own fishing boat!)

[@FishinATX]

I want to clear up some confusion on the speed of the boat. The boat does not go 6 miles per hour, that was a ridiculous uneducated guess by me. After putting a fish finder on the boat I can confirm with one person the boat goes on average 2.5 to 3 miles per hour. Very sorry for any confusion caused.

[@EdSmith11]

@Fletcher Remy ur actually right, we do not care

[@oxyfide]

Lol. 😂 btw depending on application gas just goes futher with less stress. If it's lakes or back bay areas having a trolling motor and gas motor is a nice safety. I hear the 3.5hp gets your up around 10mph which makes it worth it if you want to cover some water. Cheers.

[@crossborn6375]

I'm an old guy and have a small boat similar to yours. That's a nice boat. The reason I am posting is because of you're thankfulness. It's really good to see someone young, or old for that matter that is thankful. Keep that gift of thankfulness even in the small things and life will continue to bless you. God bless.

[@FishinATX]

I worked very hard to get it and for sure am very thankful for it!

@@FishinATX can you tell me where you got those blue seat cushions?

[@dingdingding4033]

@@bradhuskers walmart, they sell them for 5 or 10 bucks and also they double as a flotation device.

[@taylorharbin3948]

I just got one myself and plan to keep it for the rest of my life! It’s so good to see affordable watercraft available.

[@dgriffin6074]

Congratulations on your new Bass Raider. One can purchase a Bass Raider 10e plus a battery and an electric trolling motor and a 2.5 hp Suzuki outboard for LESS then what some of the pedal powered kayaks sell for. It's a real bargain and, as you said, sturdy and almost maintenance free.

[@deontequinn3402]

Excellent video I came across your video doing some research about the boat before purchasing. After watch I most definitely will be buying one. Thanks keep putting out great content

[@brucecorbin725]

Got mine like a year ago it’s great easy to move can have a two motors on it can put it in the back of a truck stable and super affordable also built in wires I love it

[@incognito8448]

my worst day at fishing still beats my best day at work!

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Wassup young buck! I just got a 10e not long ago too. I used interlocking rubber floor tiles from home depot. Pretty sturdy, with a harder layer on top, think for using as a gym mat. Only cost $50, and NO GLUE or plywood. Have fun!

[@thatoneguy8706]

Great job on the video. Congrats on your first boat!

[@greglewis8752]

Might I suggest putting a roll up exercise mat on the floor. Soft, mostly non-slip and just the right width and leaves room for the battery in length if you have a 10' boat.

[@braydentrimble2197]

What battery do you use?

[@FishinATX]

115 amp 12 volt battery

[@grassbassfishing9321]

Great video man I’m thinking about getting one myself and this really helped me choose! You got my sub

[@thegrimesgroup6549]

Great review young man!....I just bought the boat. Want to commend you on your delivery!

[@williameaton3552]

Have the bottom of your boat coated with line - x for traction and sound damping. Or go to auto store for the coating

[@W4EMB]

I found the "stable" mats sold at a tractor supply store are perfect . They are heavy, but since you lay it in the floor, the weight actually adds ballist and makes the boat even more stable. Find me on IG and see my mods. Great video young man! Enjoy and congrats!

[@steelefishing6650]

Where are u from u seem like someone I wanna fish with , but overall sick video and love the bass raider 10e I was on one 2 years ago fishing a creek and fell in love with it getting one soon and I'm going to be as hyped as u are !!

[@outdoorsmaniac7228]

Cool boat dude!!

[@bradhuskers]

where did you get those blue seat cushions?

[@steve-nw4ki]

what about the water that leaks inside the hull?

[@FishinATX]

I never remember water leaking into the hull when I used to own this boat

[@bigbite_bassin]

Another great video👍👍

[@oscarescobedo9365]

hey bud I know this video is old, where is that pond located? I have the same boat and I would like to take my son fishing on that pond, im from Kyle.

[@FishinATX]

It’s in bluff springs off of vertex blvd so not too far from Kyle, I’ll be honest haven’t fished that pond in around a year and a half but I used to catch nice fish outta there so hopefully it’s still pretty good!

[@Duckspuddle]

Nice video young man, and congrats on your 1st boat.. 1 suggestion, talk a little slower, the 1st part of the video you were talkin a mile a second like rapid fire..

[@FishinATX]

I definitely do talk pretty fast lol. Part of the reason on why I do that though is just so the videos a little shorter because I know nobody want to watch a 20 minute video of me talking

[@grantolbrich1840]

This fellow Texan appreciates the fast delivery!

[@cwatts592]

I live in Austin and I am considering buying the Bass Raider. Do you still think it’s a good boat to have in Austin? Also where do they sell them at locally?

[@FishinATX]

I think the bass raiders a great boat to have to have in Austin because it gives you great access to all bodies of water a kayak would but it also allows you to carry way more gear. That being said if you want to fish Lake Austin or Lake Travis with it I would recommend only using it to fish coves, not on the main lake. You can buy them online at academy or bass pro and pick it up curb side.

[@robertgass1819]

I just bought the boat myself, an upgrade from a kayak. Where can I get the fishing rod floats? Thanks.

[@FishinATX]

I just got mine off of Amazon

[@johnpierce8481]

It’s a really nice boat

[@krubosh]

Great video! You’re very well spoken! My wife just got me this boat. What dolly do you use to move it by yourself? That’s something I’ve been interested in since I fish alone a lot

[@FishinATX]

I’m not sure of the exact dolly model because I’ve had it for a really long time. But if you buy about a 3 ft steel or aluminum dolly you should be good.

[@sutv6754]

I enjoyed your review and I might be getting one of these myself. I had to laugh out loud when you claimed you could use your trolling motor on full power for 20 hours on a 100AH battery. Why would you made such and outrageous claim. Tops 3 hours on full power and not even really that.

[@caymanhilldesigns453]

i prefer the bass raider but, a metal jon boat is much lighter. A 12 foot jon boat is just over 100 pounds. Just an FYI.

[@FishinATX]

I bought the bass raider because it was smaller and easily fit in the back of my truck. It’s not the lightest available boat but it’s still pretty light in my opinion.

[@Texanman7827]

Nice boat 🚣‍♀️ now you upgrade to a bass boat 🎉

[@joerockme7485]

IT'S HARD TO BEAT THE BASS RAIDER FOR THE MONEY .GOOD DAY FOR YOU .....ENJOY !

This guy, actually shapes his eyebrows lol

[@RedfishInc]

Are your eyebrows painted on?

[@aamershaikh6409]
