Don’t add any un needed weight keep it simple
I just wish boats like this were rated for a little more weight. Similar sized inflatables can hold like 5 people, a thousand pounds or more.
I agree. Inflatable boats have a super high capacity. I found a cool 10’ at West Marine but it was $2,300! Couldn’t believe it.
I got one from Tracker Supply about a month ago. It came pre-wired from the back to the bow with 10 gauge wire for the front trolling motor. I bought a Pexmor 46lb trolling motor for the front and a Hangkai 6hp 2 stroke motor for the rear. Also bough two nice seats on Amazon. I got a 12' flatbed trailer from Tractor supply also. 😃👍
Awesome! How fast does the 6 push you? I want one
I know these are inexpensive boats, but my problem with them is the thermal formed polypropylene. they’re just disposable if you put a hole-in-one. I know they make gator batch to fix holes for boats like this, but hear me out.
Few years ago had an accident my kayak where the strap came off, got caught in the wheel of the trailer and whipped around it just ripped up in my kayak. A friends’s father taught me about plastic welding. Since my kayak was made of polyethylene, I was able to repair that kayak with almost no visible side of damage. That’s when I learned the difference. I would personally stay away from these, but I also have the option to buy something a little bit more expensive out of a material.
I’ve had to try to repair six polypropylene boats. Two we were able to fix them with gator patch, the third just had to be trashed and the rest was not worth trying. I repaired close to 100 polyethylene boats and all repaired with scrap recycle #2 plastic and a heat gun. One boat we pulled out of the woods, sanded it down with some 600 grit sandpaper then I hit the whole boat with propane torch and it looks like new.
Also, here’s a tip. If you have a vehicle with black plastic bumpers on your vehicle, when you go to sell it wash off those black plastic parts and hit it with a propane torch and you see that oxidation go away. I learned that from a friend who owns a used car dealership. That is how they’re able to make those cars look better. Doesn’t take much heat.
I enjoyed the video and can’t wait to see you pimp it out. 😉
The only thing I’ll say about the Prowler is it handles choppy water pretty well. I had a Bass Hunter before that, and that wasn’t good at all in choppy water. I would really like to get something that handles a larger motor. Looking forward to the custom touches. It would be great if you could find a 250 pound 70 year old to put in it.
I could probably round one up from my local fishing circle 🤣👍
@@GreysonRoberts Get him in that thing! You could always place a wanted ad. 😁
12' john boats in the ocean is a foolish endeavor asking for trouble.😮
You should have seen what I’ve been through in my 10’🤣🤣🤣
Plus actually super common around here. Don’t go out on nasty days and people fish off anything. Pretty awesome tiny boat setups around here in FL!
Looks like fun I get one, but I don’t have a place to keep it.
I had to get a cheap storage unit for mine. It’s $44/mo
Should have got a bass tender 11.3,I just picked one up and it's got a casting deck,live well,bilge pump and some other perks.
I almost bought one! But since they’re out of production, I wanted a boat anybody can pick up after watching my videos.
@@GreysonRoberts I just got started on boats,and watch your vids. I'm local,maybe I'll see you on the water someday.
No way! That’s awesome. I would love to try your boat out one of these days. Are you in Panama City?
@@GreysonRoberts yea,I live in Panama.I just got it,but will be getting it sea worthy soon.Ill let you know. It's got a 1968 2 stroke Johnson XD
Awesome!
Got mine at TS for 509 w/ tax 545 last one who knew
That’s a steal! Especially brand new
Try 55yo 6,5 295 lol.
