- OMG TED, LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!
New Twin Troller owners do lots of things to their boats. Ted from Ohio took it to another level with his own video to show you how he did it so you can do it yourself. Besides additional electronics and ways to attach items to his Twin Troller he also custom wrapped his boat and installed matching trim all around his boat.

Just ordered mine tonight and ran across this video. My mind is blown. Looks like you've given me some projects to do over the winter. Excellent and innovative mods!
Coop, welcome to the family! The more you watch the more we will keep you busy. 😀 Gerry
@@LunkerFishing Thanks Gerry! I've seen your videos too and you definitely were the first person on UA-cam I came across who helped me make the decision to buy the Twin Troller. The credit actually goes to you!
Love to get a class on how you created those sliding drawers, awesome add on along wiht the magnets.
Allen Moore, hopefully Ted will see this and provide us with that information. Gerry
WOW!!! I need to start working on my boat. I feel like I'm missing out. :-)
What a Rig, I love the lighting on board as well as the camo detail.
Reel Nic e setup!!
Ted did a great job! Gerry
Getting mine tomorrow
Congratulations Michael. Welcome to the TT Family!
Great video. Thanks Ted and thank you Jerry for sharing.
Doug, Ted did a great job on this video and his boat. He deserves all the credit. Gerry
Hi Ted, that is the nicest TT I have seen, I would be scared to take it to the salt marsh I would not want to get it dirty! LOL
Rick, I was thinking the same thing. I would not want to get that boat dirty! If there was a Twin Troller store that one should be in the front window. Ted did a great job. Gerry
Great job Ted, gave me a few more ideas.
you got it, that's where I got most of mine.....off You Tube people with small boats.
All I can say is ...WOW !!
It's amazing how many ways there are to customize
Patty, Ted really did some great things to his Twin Troller! Gerry
Awesome set up 👍
We all agree! Nice job Ted. Gerry
Awesome job Ted! Graphics look great. Well thought out modifications. Maybe you guys ought to work for Freedom Electric and help them design a wiring system option to allow hidden wiring. At any rate your mods want me to buy a Twin Troller even more.
Whoa! Man Ted - now that is an amazing setup for your TT! I got mine last year and really really enjoy it. Nothing like it on the water. I've been thinking about adding some rails to my trailer as it's sometimes a pain in wind to get it in the sweet spot.
Thanks Ted, the side bunks I had from my inflatable that I had for a few years, so I figured I would use them since I had them, and I feel a little more secure when I'm riding down the highway with the boat on it as well.
Another amazing example of a true engineer Ted. I have been corresponding with Gerry all winter about getting my TT. I am down to single digits now with only 9 more days till my order goes through. Gerry has helped me tremendously all year. When my blank canvas arrives I will pretty much leave it blank till winter as I am from Northern Michigan by the Mackinaw bridge and have countless lakes to choose from within minutes of my driveway and one lake so close I good pull it there LOL. I think you would be a great Freedom Electric Ambassador if you know what that is and if not Gerry is and would tell you about it. I liked your minkota battery box and is that something available only from a dealer. Steve
I believe you can get that battery box at Walmart, Dick's, or Lowe's.
@@peterlong9629 Thanks friend.
Great job Ted, like others said this just confirms my desire to spend the extra cash on a TT and mod it up for my area and type of fishing. One thing I really would like added is links and product info for you mods.
Fred, you re not alone in wanting that information. I am trying to contact Ted to get some of that and I will try to post it here. Gerry
Could you tell me how much Missy Oak Graphic you ordered??
I find I have the same problem I’m always driving the boat and never getting to fish.
miman, we all hear ya! Gerry
That is a very nice rig. Have u looked at the garmin live scope ff ?
He wrapped everything 😂
Janet, Ted is resourceful and has some great ideas! Gerry
Is this TwinTroller for sale?
As told to do in the video, read the comments below the video.
Ted what model of trailer do you have? Load Rite makes quite a few different models and not quite look like yours.
Model is a 14F1000W. I modified it for my original inflatable boat, and then again when I got the Twin Troller
I like the load ride trailer. Which model number did you purchase ?
Thomas, my trailer was part of the package trailer that came with the TT. It is a CE Smith. Other than the issue with the bumper bracket, installing bearing buddies, and replacing the lights with LED lights it has been a great trailer. Gerry
I need some more information I like those trays underneath your seat
Hey Steve: The sturdy fiberglass tub I had from my father's old place of employment and I had 4 of them sitting in the garage doing nothing for years; the metal brackets are from some old equipment we were throwing out from my current employer so I couldn't really direct you to either of those items, they just happen to be the exact size, material, and shape of what I needed....sometimes it pays to keep different items you think you might need someday without becoming a hoarder, which I am not....this time it just worked out as though I knew what I was saving it for :)
I sure would like to hear if anyone has figured out how to replicate Ted's sliding storage!
Buz
I really love the graphics you added to the boat. How much do you remember spending to wrap the boat? Thanks!
Edwin,
That is not my boat, it is Ted's. Send me an email saying you want to contact Ted to TwinTrollerPicture@gmail.com and I will forward your email to him. Gerry
Ted I just bought my twin troller and I received it today. You talked about the star port holders. Where would I buy these and who makes them?
Dennis, congratulations on getting your Twin Troller today. Welcome to the Twin Troller owner's family!
I am interested in those holders also. Come on Ted, where did you get them? We all want to know.
Gerry
They are Railblaza and I believe I got them at Westmarine.com, but they are really nothing different than some of the other brands like Yak Attack and Scotty Mounts that I believe make very similar items.
Do you have to remove the tray under the seat while towing the boat down the road?
Signcarver, not the tray because it is fixed but I remove the contents or most if not all will vibrate out when trailering. You could attach those small bungee cords though to keep everything in place. Gerry
@@LunkerFishing really nice job you’ve done with the boat, I just bought a used one and will be stealing some ideas I see online. Thanks
I just ordered my TT this past Monday. I’m excited and been buying more lures and stuff like crazy. One question though. What type of battery are most of the owners buying for their boats. I like the 31 but not the weight. I’m thinking a good 29 AGM though. All I’ll be running is a Humminbird Helix 5 DI GPS G2. Any ideas and links would be great! I’ve watched all of your videos Gerry. Glad to join the family.
C. Miles, welcome to the family. The issue of battery choice is complicated. Here is why I bought the 31 series. I live in Central Florida and there are large alligators and snakes in the waters I fish. If I still lived up north I would be ok with having to swim to shore if the battery died but I do not want to do that here. I am also too old! If I am fishing with a friend in my TT I do not bring the Honda along due to space and weight. If I am alone I have always have the Honda, and two bottles of spare fuel. You probably saw them in my videos. For the same reason I do not want to run out of fuel or battery. One pricy solution is a lithium battery but they are around $1K each. They only weigh about 30 pounds. Consider where you want to fish. If you truly in small waters and the 29 series is enough battery for you then that would be a good choice. I do not have a good feel for what percentage of owners use the 29 or the 31 series. Catch one for me!!!! Gerry
Are you using two Super Sticks as anchors? Are they more functional/practical than,say, generic boat anchors?
Ed, hopefully Ted will see your question and comment. Gerry
Yeah Ed, takes up less space in the boat, no water or mud in the boat when removing them, can anchor securely from back and front and not move...only limitation is having to be in less than 7 ft of water
Great job Ted!! Congrats on your Twin Troller! Where did you get the lights from? Very nice addition! Those flood lights will come in handy when you do like we all do...just one more cast! 50 casts later and its not getting dark, its already dark! lol. So those will help with getting it back on the trailer! 😁 Where did you get that camera from? As much as i want a GoPro, the price of yours is a much easier pill to swallow! You turned your Blank Canvas Twin Troller, into your own personal masterpiece! WELL DONE TED! WELL DONE!
🙂
Thanks Peter; both the Lights and the camera I got on Amazon. The lights were only $15 for the pair and they are bright and had great reviews, and your right especially here in Ohio when we only have 5-6 months of fishing weather out of the 12, you usually find yourself staying out later than we should, and whenever we rent a cabin that’s for certain. The DB Power camera came with a boat load of accessories as well, and the remote wrist band item should make it easier to take that video when your bringing in the big one, and a pic once you got em in the boat 😊 .www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IY3YLCI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@tedondrish9204 Definitely want those lights but saw several choices of the camera on Amazon. Do you have the link for the one you have. Steve in Michigan
@@kagnewmp12 Yeah I remember that they had quite a few versions and hard to determine what your needs are having not used one before. This is the one I got looking i my Orders from Amazon, and they have a $39 version on the same page....not sure what the difference was in the $10:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L3QRP8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 but both have the wrist band button I believe.

Now I want to build one , and I dont fish ....
David, LOL! Gerry
Ted in Ohio, I live in Ohio as well and wonder where you fish at. I assume that you have gotten out with the warmer weather. I live between Cleveland and Akron. Thanks.
Hey Lawrence I live in Parma, we're practically neighbors and I love to fish at Leesville, Mogadore, Turkey Foot, and West Branch for the most part, so I go south and/or east usually. We are actually looking for a Lake House as a summer cottage, since I'm 3 years away from retirement and looking at one at Lake Guilford this weekend....I've never fished there but heard it's a nice friendly small lake so I hope to speak to some of the neighbors this weekend about it...... but the news just mentioned there is snow flurries in the forecast.......the nice weather was mainly the weekend I made this video :)
Ted Ondrish , I live in Medina and have fished at all of the lakes you mentioned. I am getting close to pulling the trigger on the TT. I retired a year ago and would like to have a boat that is easy to pull with my Camry and small enough for me to handle if I fish by myself. I think part of the attraction for the TT is the ability to personalize them with your own special modifications. If you don’t mind I will share my email so we can contact each other. It is lcfranz@zoominternet.net
Lawrence, if you have any interest in seeing the boat before you buy it just let me know and you can stop by; I'm close to the North Royalton border so about as close as you can get to Medina and still be in Parma.. I'll send you an email so you'll have mine then as well. I've fished at Lake Medina a few times as well, but couldn't afford one of the houses on that lake. take care
Ted Ondrish did you fish lake Medina from a boat? I fished it from the shore and caught a nice walleye and a few bass. Since they built homes along the lake they may allow small boats. By the way I looked at buying a house on the Portage Lakes but the price was high. Look forward to your help when I get the boat.
Like you I only fished from the shore, but got some nice bass, I see guys taking Kayaks in all the time.
