Another option is to go to Tractor Supply and get you a horse trailer rubber mat which will help with stability and standing. Just cut to fit. Also it will not absorb water and rot like plywood. Just a thought. Next go to Harbor Freight and get you a solid rubber tire dolly and convert it to move the boat around. Several videos on UA-cam showing this too. Thanks for sharing.
I have the 9 foot pond prowler and I use a trolling motor on the front that I put in the water once I reach my location for the best control and another in the back for driving between locations. I'm soon going to be ordering a 2.2 hp 2stroke gas motor for the rear from AliExpress. It's basically a weedeater motor on a prop shaft. They're cheaper than buying a more powerful trolling motor than what I have on the back currently and I won't have to carry two heavy batteries.
Good for you bro, I too have zero experience with a boat, we always would halfto bank fish…got tired of looking for decent spots, driving around and walking looking for a good spot to cast…I Just boat a 10’ raider and gonna get it ready for this upcoming spring. Just subscribed. Great video
Cant wait to see next video!!! I ended up doing two trolling motors. 55 in the back & 30 in the front.... i also made a boat dolly using bicycle tires. I bought the bike from Goodwill, wood, L brackets & bolts from home depot. $15 project....
@@AtypicalOutdoorsYep!!!! I had the 30 for a minute, but it wasn't getting me across the lake fast enough lol. That 30 allows for perfect trolling along banks
bert richardson I’m about to commit and get one of these beasts and am looking at dolly solutions. What measurements did you use when cutting your wood?
Yeah buddy!! Ay congrats on taking up fishing from a family that don't fish or camp. Its awesome to get out and rig up even when your alone. Keep making videos and you'll find your fishing fam
I put my trolling motor on the front of the boat it seemed like it was easier to handle for me, also upgrade your seats that makes a huge difference if you're out on the water for an extended period of time, my next upgrade I'm looking into is a table that mounts to the same brackets as the seats to go in the middle of the boat, lots of ideas on UA-cam, good luck!
Get a pressure treated 2x4 and cut it just slightly wider than the boat (maybe 6 inches or so). Lay it flat and screw an eye bolt near each end (so you can hook a strap from the eye bolt, through the rear handles and to the eye bolt on the other side). Now buy a couple of tall lawn mower tires/wheels and screw them to the ends, and you have an axle that straps to the boat! Now you can pick up one end of it, and pull it! Carried mine like that for a couple of years, before I bought a Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer.
I have a 10 ft raider and I put my 45 lbs minn Kota in the back. So when I stand up I have the whole front of the boat 👌🏽 Battery in the back and the fish finder sits relatively in the middle. I move it accordingly because it’s mounted to a home made rig rather than directly on the boat to avoid drilling holes in my raider. I loved your video 💪
You can buy a wheel set or make a leverage device so you dont have to carry it, also you can put plastic strips on the bottom of the boat so you dont scruff it up or poke a hole into it potentially.
Good video! I just bought a Pelican 10E. I have not had a chance to use it yet but I’m going to let experience dictate what I do to it. I’m afraid I’ll drill a bunch of holes in it I don’t need and add a bunch of gizmos I can do without. I like your approach, have an open mind and don’t be afraid to learn. Nice job.
Awesome man. Youre gonna love it with that troller. I almost had one of these boats but it got sold out from under us. Someday ill get off the bank. Great video.
I fish out of a bonafide ss127 love my kayak I purchased a micro power pole I love it it is expensive the unit is 599 paid 150 for an 8 foot heavy duty pole and went with the battery pack so no wires cost an extra 200 total of 1000 when all is done but the ability to drop that with a button is so nice i fish in heavy grass so it holds me in a lot of places You will love having a motor on raider those are difficult to paddle still a great boat hope to see you land a giant Cheers!! :))
Thanks bro, my buddy Tackle N Travel (UA-cam) made it. I don’t know a lot either but I want to learn. I should be collabing with my buddy Anthony Jones to do some work on my boat!
Happy to see that your finally doing some upgrades to your Pelican!!! I got to send you a link on how make a dolly for your boat, so you can transport it kinda like a wheel barrel. That way you can carry all your gear in the boat, and if need be, you can do it by yourself!!!
I have the 36in., It’s perfect for sitting down and fishing. When your standing up and fishing you have to constantly bend over to make adjustments.The 30 will work, but it may be a little low.
I'm thinking about saving up my pennies for this boat, what do you think about it so far, is there anything I would wanna know about it? I really like the video by the way!😉👍
Thanks for watching the video. I love the Bass Raider! There are a couple of downsides.... Fishing in the wind while Controlling your boat can be hard. You have to stay on the trolling motor, and it’s hard to maintain your spot. Beside that it’s a great boat. Plus you can launch it anywhere, and get into some shallow water.
Hey man I use mine in the front you can see stomps faster but if your the only one in boat put it on back it track better had mine for two years an love it
I definitely recommend putting trolling motor in front. You can see where you are going while steering. After 2 or 3 trips I moved mine to the front. Good luck
I bought an extra battery (after watching so many channels saying that was the first thing you should get so you won’t get stranded) and have both batteries in back to help distribute the weight. Works pretty good. I have not come close to needing the second battery yet, but I fish a small lake (150 acres) and rarely go out when it’s windier than 8 mph so I’m not too hard on the battery.
Gotcha...Man, I need to buy a second Battery myself for those long days! Plus it will help with the weight distribution like you said!! Thanks for the tips 👊🏾
You will need some sort of rudder in the back if you want the boat to track straight, especially on those breezy days. Google Bass Resource Forums for the Pelican. Great info on there about it. Nice channel sir. Subbed!
@@patrickfahie8671 I'm recently in the bass raider club and still getting it kitted up. I'm with you fellers, TM up front, battery in the back. Got a 55 lb thrust motor and a group size 24 dual-purpose deep cycle/AGM battery recommended by bass pro. Do you boys think this battery is adequate to power the TM? I see a lot of folks have a group size 27. I also will stay on smaller lakes.
I have a question i live in Texas and I wanna buy the same boat but used and the person never registered it and they don’t have a title do it buy it? What do I need?
Ply eood only will be very slippery dude. Carpet it and still able to hose off. Water proof your plywood first though. A dolly build is easy and helpful from whay I have seen too.
I heard those rudder attachments really help Interested in your journey, I’m in a bass raider/kayak decision situation myself and weighing pros and cons
@@AtypicalOutdoors I have a yak I bought for fishing, but here in Texas in the spring most days are too windy to go out. I am going to buy a Bass Raider as soon as they get back in stock. From having fished in small boats for years when younger, put a fixed rudder of some sort on end away from motor and it will handle much better. I am going to put a 55 pound motor on back and 30 pound motor on front which gives me all kinds of fishing options as well as helping control boat when fishing by having both in water..
Great video. I’m in the market for one of these as well. Saw one listed yesterday in Letgo for $550. It had the 55# motor and battery included. When i reaches out to the guy he had already sold it.
Need a board ratchet strap and a couple dolly wheels make u a cart system to strap to one end I did it to my bass hunter basically same boat but mines from early 90s it works great can move it by my self to most places I fish
How are you liking the boat with the trolling motor? I built a carpeted casting deck for my bass raider 10E and I love it. I have a how to video on my page in case your interested.
I bet bro I went out a month ago to get the drone footage for my video with paddles and it was really windy lol damn it was hard. I have a trolling motor but I need to get a battery and I’m just waiting for the paperwork to register my boat lol. Stay safe bro
Great to see you got a motor (still not sure what happened to the one I was going to give you). That rudder looks cool and might help my roundabout. Also look into a two piece anchor pole. I love mine and it’s out of the way when I don’t need it.
I think you should mount the motor in the front and make a keel for the back so it will go straight,my outboard is down now ,so I have the keel for now till it's fixed,I'll send you some pictures on Instagram, it's very easy to make and works well 👍👍👊👊
EverStart Maxx Marine Battery, Size 29DC, from Wal-Mart, works best for a Minn Kota 55. That size 27 might work for you if you only plan on short trips. The EverStart Maxx 29DC will run me 8-12 hours on a 14 foot flat back canoe, I run 3 hours UP STREAM to get to my favorite fishing hole. I plan to sell my canoe and buy a 10 foot Bass Raider or Bass Hunter then put 2 EverStart Maxx 29DC's in the boat, one in the back & my spare in the front, being a Disabled American Veteran, rowing would be very hard for me. For you Spike pole, you can get galvanized pipe from Home Depot and they will thread it for you, use a "T" at the top to make it easier to pull out of the mud! Suggestion: Polyurethane your ply-wood to make it waterproof, then cover it with Anti-Slip paint, truck bed liner paint mixed with walnut shells or AstroTurf.

Thanks bro, the plastic strips are a great ideal!
That’s what’s up. I’ve been looking for a channel like this. Looking for a small boat myself. Thanks for the info.
No problem, thanks for watching! It’s been a great boat over the years!

Just got one. I can’t wait to start doing my touches to it. As you are my friend. Good luck. Happy fishing.

@@AtypicalOutdoors let us know how you do it. I’m looking at that too.

Thanks man, I’m sure something will workout for you soon. I still bounce back and forth between the boat and the bank.
You can still buy them today.. bass baby, bass hunter, pelican bass raider 10e nxt, among others..

New subscriber here just bought a bass raider ! Tight lines
Thanks for Subbing, the Bass Raider is a great little boat!
How did you end up setting the boat up?
I no longer have it, but I ended up putting a 7inch graph on it. It was a fun boat!
What inch shaft is that endura? Just bought a bass raider but I only got the 30 inch shaft. Curious if the 30 inch shaft works ok.
I have the 36in., It’s perfect for sitting down and fishing. When your standing up and fishing you have to constantly bend over to make adjustments.The 30 will work, but it may be a little low.

Hey bro awesome bro. You gonna be on them giants quick. I think i know that spot. Lol😁💪🏽👊

Good choice. Stay on'em my man ☀😎🎣

How has the bullnose rudder worked out?
Its helpful......I feel like it’s worth the money, but it’s not a game changer!
I have a question i live in Texas and I wanna buy the same boat but used and the person never registered it and they don’t have a title do it buy it? What do I need?
Sorry man, I can’t answer for Texas you may want to check with your local DNR office.
Ply eood only will be very slippery dude. Carpet it and still able to hose off. Water proof your plywood first though. A dolly build is easy and helpful from whay I have seen too.
Thanks for the head ups, I think I want to go with seadek now.
Use a small wagon, with boards going across to tote it around. Way less work and low cost. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the heads up man!
I heard those rudder attachments really help

Nice.... What part of Georgia are you from? They are super convenient, you can launch them from anywhere.
Good stuff. How does the rudder attachment work for you?
It works pretty good, it helps the boat track better.
Atypical Outdoors good to know , thx . I have a Flycraft with a 45 MinnKota, works great but thinking a little more rudder would help. Thx
Worthrhetime I agree, anything to help those little boats track better!!!
Did the rudder help?
I don't know, because I put it on before I tested the boat.
Get a 2x6, 2 big caster wheels, 2 ibolts, make a dolly. Strap in on back, use front handle to move it...easier than carrying
Ok thanks for the input, I appreciate that!
Great video. I’m in the market for one of these as well. Saw one listed yesterday in Letgo for $550. It had the 55# motor and battery included. When i reaches out to the guy he had already sold it.
Dang man, that sucks that it was already sold! Hopefully, you can find another good deal soon. Tight Lines!
Atypical Outdoors i found a new one for $500. I ordered the 55lb minn kota motor as well.
This video just showed up for me... 3yrs later...
I like your shirt

Need a board ratchet strap and a couple dolly wheels make u a cart system to strap to one end I did it to my bass hunter basically same boat but mines from early 90s it works great can move it by my self to most places I fish
Thanks man!! I love mine, that’s definitely a good Ideal! That’s my favorite thing about the boat is the ability to get into skinny water
I would mount the trolling motor in the front if I were you. Carpet on that ply wood will make it quieter in the long run last longer too.
Thanks, i ended up mounting it in the front! Now I need to do the deck, like you suggested!
How are you liking the boat with the trolling motor? I built a carpeted casting deck for my bass raider 10E and I love it. I have a how to video on my page in case your interested.
Adding a Trolling Motor has been a game changer! I will definitely check your video out! Thanks for watching man!
I bet bro I went out a month ago to get the drone footage for my video with paddles and it was really windy lol damn it was hard. I have a trolling motor but I need to get a battery and I’m just waiting for the paperwork to register my boat lol. Stay safe bro
Trolling motor in the front and get a Bigfoot foot control power button.
Ok.... Thanks man, I will look into the Bigfoot control power button!!
It is a must if you lure fish,👍🏼
Great to see you got a motor (still not sure what happened to the one I was going to give you). That rudder looks cool and might help my roundabout. Also look into a two piece anchor pole. I love mine and it’s out of the way when I don’t need it.
How do you like that roundabout?
Man.....He already caught A 9 plus pound Bass out of his roundabout!
It’s no telling man, I know how stuff goes missing. Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out Ted!
@@BigBassBlake it's great! plus i can roll it down to the water if i need to. check out my double PB video on my channel!
@@BigBassBlake ua-cam.com/video/Z4rNXEtQYDo/v-deo.html
go with the back if you try it in front look into a rear rudder
Thanks for the heads up, I will have to look into adding a rudder in the back!
Sick jersey dude. Are those available?
Thanks bro, my buddy makes them! If you want one, I’m sure he can make you. His UA-cam channel is Tackle N Travel!
I think you should mount the motor in the front and make a keel for the back so it will go straight,my outboard is down now ,so I have the keel for now till it's fixed,I'll send you some pictures on Instagram, it's very easy to make and works well 👍👍👊👊
Thanks for the insight, I may go that route! It would definitely help it track straight!
Nice, what's the weight on that?
Thanks man......It weights 145 pounds without the battery and trolling motor.
How long is the shaft
I have the 36inch length.
I've been waiting for this video.
Lol you and me both, I can’t wait to get a depth finder! Thanks for watching!
I see the Jersey Big Dog!
Thanks man, my good buddy makes them! His name is Tackle N Travel on UA-cam.
That plywood will add a lot of weight when you carry it bro
That is true man!
That is just too far to walk that boat LOL. My buddy just got the same boat and it's a lot of fun.
Nice.... I agree it’s a fun little boat, and you can take it anywhere
I agree man, it almost killed me lol
Suggestion.....get rid of the plastic seats !!!!! Walmart has a decent padded fold down seat for $30.
Ok.... Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate that 👍🏾👍🏾
I think you need a boat dolly to move it around with, you can do it by yourself!!!
Thanks for the heads up, I will check them out! I have never heard of a boat dolly!
I have the same one I got mines in the front
Nice man, that’s how I use mine now!
Tractor Supply for matting instead:)
Thanks for the heads up man!
Also he does a walk though of his boat and actually uses a removable padding for the floor.
Thats going to be one of the next mods, I do to my boat. Then i'm going to add electronics and lights!
@@AtypicalOutdoors nice, can't wait to watch. Wife gave me the ok to look into a Bass Raider..
Nice man!! Your going to love it!! Let me know if you get one!
Need to get me a Pelican Bass Raider 10e
You should it’s a cool little boat!
EverStart Maxx Marine Battery, Size 29DC, from Wal-Mart, works best for a Minn Kota 55. That size 27 might work for you if you only plan on short trips. The EverStart Maxx 29DC will run me 8-12 hours on a 14 foot flat back canoe, I run 3 hours UP STREAM to get to my favorite fishing hole. I plan to sell my canoe and buy a 10 foot Bass Raider or Bass Hunter then put 2 EverStart Maxx 29DC's in the boat, one in the back & my spare in the front, being a Disabled American Veteran, rowing would be very hard for me.
For you Spike pole, you can get galvanized pipe from Home Depot and they will thread it for you, use a "T" at the top to make it easier to pull out of the mud!
Suggestion: Polyurethane your ply-wood to make it waterproof, then cover it with Anti-Slip paint, truck bed liner paint mixed with walnut shells or AstroTurf.
Thanks for all the great information! I really appreciate it, Tight lInes and good luck this year!
The boat will track better with the motor in the back
Ok, thanks for the heads up man!
Anthony Hamilton?
Lol come on bro, I know I didn’t save but dang haha
Nice
Thanks Kim 👊👊
Get 2 trolling motors
Gotcha, thanks for the tip!
Get a battery box
That would definitely help man!! Thanks for the suggestion 💯
Look through UA-cam and build yourself a boat dolly, then it will be easier to move the boat.
My buddy actually built one for man, it helped a ton!
Mount in rear
Ok I will give it a shot!! So far I have been using it up front and like I like it!!…
Build yourself a dolly. Theres UA-cam how to For that boat
That’s a good call, I need to make one!
Sweet little boat! Had one just like until someone decided to set it on fire. Shoot you would have been good with just a 30-35lb thrust on that one...

If you haven't already go check out UA-camfishingVids, dude is legit and fishes from a bassraider.
I have checked him out before he is a stick!!
You still using the rudder
I put my trolling motor on the front of the boat it seemed like it was easier to handle for me, also upgrade your seats that makes a huge difference if you're out on the water for an extended period of time, my next upgrade I'm looking into is a table that mounts to the same brackets as the seats to go in the middle of the boat, lots of ideas on UA-cam, good luck!
Thanks for the ideals! I will definitely have to upgrade the seats. I decided to put the trolling motor up front.
