I am also an aquarium enthusiast. I’ve been going around and around about buying one of these boats, and knowing you are a crafty fish hobbyist has made you the first person reviewing these that I actually trust. It’s a relief actually. Thanks for putting this out there, I enjoyed your fish room - especially the planted tanks. Thanks again!
congrats on weight loss thats not an easy journey - hope all is going well fo ya! love all your mods you have really set off my imagination and the bar for what these are capable of. could i get your print part stl's i might run some on my printer
Awesome boat, name and mods. I like the seat reinforcement you did. I'm a smaller gentleman but i have a big friend i want to take on fishing trips so I'll definitely be doing that seat mod. 👍
I'm not familiar with the T - tracks. Where do I get them and are they called something different online or in store. Also, the PVC protection strips in your earlier video, how do I find them? I've found the screws and tape. They're on the way. Your videos are so extremely helpful to me. I'm a long time fishermen, both on back and in other people's boats. This raider is the first boat I've owned myself.
Hey Jeff, what part of IL are you in? Can you help me troubleshoot my fish finder, I think it's something to do with wiring, it powers up occasionally and sometimes it does not.
A lot of cool ideas, nice boat can’t, wait to get my own, “fat guy in a little boat” is definitely the cherry on top, good job 👍

I love that 3d printed hood for the fish finder ...amazing brother
I like what you did there sir lol Chris Farley
If you save the shavings from drilling/ get a 5 gal bucket lid you can melt the plastic and fill in any holes
Hey Jeff great video, I just purchased a raider. I am in your area. Which lake do you fish in? Thanks in advance
@@CadillacMan2000 blackwell, whalon, saganaskee, shabbona, and a few others whos names escape me at the moment are all doable with a bass raider!
@@jeffakamax Thanks
What & model is the 65lb thrust trolling motor? Great idea on the T tracks. 👍👍
The 65lb brushless is a haswing
I know its a year old video but any thoughts The Sea Power 65 pound trolling motor? Thanks for sharing all your ideas
No complaints with that motor at all. Doesn't clear weeds as well being brushless but that's no fault of the motor.
Are you using the 50a Anderson plugs on the trolling motor? Does that 65lb thrust motor pull over 50a of current? Any issues?
Yes I am and no issues at all.

Far West suburbs - Naperville A=area. You?
what do you have on the floor. i've looked for heavy rubber matting.
It was some raceway cover rolls I had laying around. The ½" think yoga matts work well and are cheap.
the name was the first thing i saw, haha
