Pond Prowler mods with bow mount trolling motor

This is my newest mod. I modified an Quest Angular 8 boat (just like a Pond Prowler). I added a bow mount Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor and other updates.

That’s a really nice job. Good addition

I have the same boat and I love taking it out on the lake love to see yours out on the water

[@scottshaper]

I have videos of the maiden voyage. It is a great little boat, caught a lot if fish with it this year. Ended up selling my Lowe 1620 because I just don't need it anymore.

[@brenttrowbridge720]

We definitely want to see it on the water.

[@scottshaper]

I made a video of its first voyage kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKaQkJSYj9xjqZY. I am uploading a video right now that demonstrates the cart I made that easily allows me to load, unload, transport (fully loaded) and launch my boat.

[@brenttrowbridge720]

Great video!

[@scottshaper]

Thanks, love this little boat.

[@brenttrowbridge720]

I love the smaller front deck. How did you attach it to the boat?

[@scottshaper]

I built a small frame out of aluminum square tubing and attached it to the boat with well nuts.

[@brycee6975]

How do you like using the pedal drive? Wondering if I should get a pedal or hand drive for mine.

[@scottshaper]

I never use it. I just use the remote easier for me. But I have a friend who is pedal only. The terrova has both and you can use them synonymously

[@richardkeller6940]

Nice

[@scottshaper]

Thanks

Where did you mount your transducer?

[@scottshaper]

The trolling motor has a transducer built into it. Just a 2d universal. I have since removed the fish finder because I really don't use it.

[@BigFish2023]

Make a video Using it in the water please!

[@scottshaper]

Its coming. I live in Michigan and the temps are 32 degrees in the morning high of 40.

[@marcolizarraga7430]

Can I pay you to rig mine up

[@scottshaper]

If you are serious and close to south east MI. But the fun is doing it yourself there are a ton of videos showing mod ideas.

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

how did the well nuts hold up securing the platform? I have an xi3 I need to somehow fasten to my bass raider 10

[@scottshaper]

So far they have held up great. I don't lift the boat using the platform as that will cause an issue but for what it is designed for it does great.
