The New Tiny Boat Project Part IV: Completing the Carpet!

What's up everybody!! Thanks for clicking on the video. I finally got the carpeting completed on the Pond Prowler 10 and super stoked about the results! The next video will be adding the trolling motor and mount on the front deck. Thanks again and be sure to like and subscribe!! See ya'll on the next one!

[@chriskalomiris4377]

Should've hinged the back deck the other way. Make it easier to get to stuff while on the water.

*Came along alot better than the sun dolphin because you gained the experience on the sundolphin and "figuring things out", doesn't take up your time.*

[@jamesharper8373]

Supercool vid. I saved it for future use👍

Thanks so much👍

[@tmaxx98]

Wow, boats looks great. Can I copy. I need to go buy this boat. Which one is better. The bass raider 10e or the pond prowler 10e. Thank you for sharing to us.

[@user-uz5zk5et5p]

What were your measurements for this build?

[@davidb.8786]

Well I went to the Bass Pro Shop today had my mind on a different boat and I ended up buying the one that you're showing there because it's a lot wider than the other ones and the extra foot-and-a-half ahead on the one I originally had planned I really couldn't utilize that space because it was going to be taken up by the battery anyways so with this idea right here

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for the comment and for watching! You’ll love this little boat.

[@bartsullins544]

Love the mods. Great inspiration as I add to mine. Can you tell me type and thickness of floor ? And did you trace the floor with a template or just measure and cut ?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for watching! I used treated 3/4” plywood and I measured and cut the casting deck.

[@Suzyrn601]

I wish I was as handy as your are. ChaChi is there anything you can't do?? LOL. I loved following along with the aluminum Mini you did a couple years ago. Did you sell it??

[@bassin9114]

Thanks Mark! Yea I sold it very easily lol

[@Highlights4Miles]

What kind of battery are you using?

[@dmv_bassin]

Great video! Getting ready to do something similar to my Pond Prowler, what is the adhesive you used for this project?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks so much! It was an outdoor rated carpet adhesive. Just bought it at Lowe’s.

[@dmv_bassin]

@@bassin9114 Awesome! Thank you!

[@BBV19583]

Hello..what does the manufacturer lable state for max.hp..ty😊

[@SeenOnTvSale]

So are you glad you did the casting deck? It's not to narrow or anything you would change about it?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for watching! I love the casting deck and how easy it is to fish from. There isn’t anything I’d change about it👍

[@texasbackroads4243]

How stable is the boat fishing from the casting deck?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. This is my 3rd boat of this size and it by far is the most stable I’ve fished out of. Naturally it is going to “shake” a little from side to side because of its narrower width but nothing terrible. To be honest it never crosses my mind. I can move from the very back of the boat and step up onto the deck as quick as I want and it doesn’t feel unstable at all. I also can move around on the casting deck as well without that feeling of unsteadiness. I hope this helps and answers your question. Thanks again!

[@peteywheatstraw4396]

Had a boat just like it. Kicking myself for getting rid of it. You can't find a better boat.

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for watching my friend. You’re absolutely right. They are great little boats and I’ve caught just as many big fish out of it as I did my Champion bass boat. Heck, maybe more!

[@corybullock8371]

What size plywood did you use and how big of sheet did you get

[@bassin9114]

I bought 1 sheet of 3/4” and 1 of 1/2” treated plywood. Used the 3/4 for the casting deck and the 1/2 for the floor.

[@wrightch2000]

Love the boat!! Where did you get the carpet?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks so much! I bought it at Lowes I believe.

[@wrightch2000]

Thanks.. one more question.. What was the thickness of the plywood you use for the casting deck and the flooring if it was different?

[@Gokywildcats11]

Whats the measurements on the platforms

[@melnelson688]

How waterproof is this project? Can I clean this by taking it out?

[@bassin9114]

Thanks for watching. If you are asking about the boat being waterproof then there is really no difference between a stock one and my build. If you are asking about the carpet/deck then that is different. I used marine plywood so the actual deck is waterproof but the carpet is just a cheaper indoor/outdoor but seems to be holding up very well.

[@melnelson688]

@@bassin9114 I love your design. I will get started on field & stream Angler 8 just like your design.
