Mini Boat 1-year Review (Pond Prowler 8)

[@apwkastmaster2096]

Had a prowler back in the day. 90's, I tell you at times i think i had more fun on that then my 14' V hull now😂. But seriously, it can get you into some killer fishing spots. Add a harbor freight trailer, and you're styling!! ✌️ and tight lines

@JohnFishingOfficial May not be a prowler but the same design. My son and I caught fish and enjoyed that thing for a few great years. I wish the same for you!

@@apwkastmaster2096 I see. Yeah, it’s been the best fishing investment by far!

Small boats are the best!

I got a 12 foot jon.. can take 2 friends fishing.. and the dog.. a 14ft is even bigger.. not much more expensive.. i would get that before a prowler.. lasts longer.. much more room.. not much heavier.. or more expensive. I can carry the boat with a friend for about 100 yards.. if he have to.

@@larsvegas1505 Jon boats are definitely a great option. Durable and versatile. My only problem is the stability and I think that’s the biggest factor for me or I’d have gone with a flat bottom boat

@@JohnFishingOfficial I do sit down fishing most of the time.. but i can stand also on the 12ft.. esp if u have some stuff on there.. A pond prowler isnt any more stable then a jon.. its even smaller in with.. (my buddy used to have one we used it a lot before i got a jon.. (jon is also lighter and easier to carry into spots.)

@@larsvegas1505 I’ve been in both types and imo it’s a lot more secure being in these pontoon style boats. It’s more efficient at dealing with wakes and long-term seating comfort out of the box. It was also easier to transport in my case because the prowler is much shorter (8 ft). These fit a lot more snuggly into my short bed truck. In my initial case, anything 10ft or over would’ve been hard to handle. I love jon boats but they wouldn’t have worked for me unfortunately. People will have difference of opinions according to their own needs. In my case, the prowler made more sense. And as I assume, your jon boat was more efficient for you 👍
