I’d like to use them for hauling camp gear. Are the hulls 3/16th thick or more?
I think this is going to be my best bet for on-water fishing, given my limitations. Thank you for your review, and I'd be interested in seeing more vids of cool mods for your boat.

You indicate the width of the PBR is 50 inches, is this number rounded up or down?

I got a Harbor Freight folder trailer and love it! It's way better than trying to get it on top of your vehicle by yourself. There was no specific technique I used when I loaded mine on top of my vehicle, but maybe you can avoid the hassle I went though before I treated myself to a trailer and get one for yourself. https://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-capacity-48-in-x-96-in-heavy-duty-folding-trailer-62648.html
Check out some of the videos on YouTube showing off the upgrades folks suggest with this trailer.
Awesome Review.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks Dave!

I got a 36 min Kota and I found a EverStart 29DC Marine at Walmart (waiting for the maxx to come in stock) need a second because I have a livewell on my boat.
I can't find a store with the Schumacher CSX15 and Walmart is out of stock.
ANY ALTERNATIVES FOR ME?!
Walmart has others but like I said, in new so I'm tying to follow your exact steps.
I put the link to the charger in the charger in description if you want to order one from Amazon. Otherwise, I'm sure Walmart will restock it or you can order one from them. I'm sure there are some good alternatives out there, but since I've never used them, I couldn't recommend any. Good luck!
When I moved up here, I didn't have this little 10 foot boat. I lucked out and have probably half a dozen small bodies of water(with both largemouth and smallies in each of them) right near the house, and I was gonna need a small motor-less boat if I was gonna fish them. Was a great purchase and it's held up great through beating it up through hand launches, and bumping it into stumps.
The second flaw is the seats are too delicate for a big butt. I used a metal hinged seat from Wal-Mart, removed the plastic seat bottom, and made a new bottom out of 3/4in layered/finishing plywood.
I've been rolling with that setup for a few years now without a hitch.
I'm not gonna lie, the first few trips might seem sketchy but once you get the hang of it and realize how stable it is you'll enjoy it.
I didn't here about that. I would assume we'll probably see a slight uptick in boat traffic if that's the case...
I just started feeling better a couple day ago. I'll be back at it this weekend & will hopefully have a couple videos for you guys.

Harbor Freight sells a couple of different small trailers that could easily be set up to hold your boat (the folding one could suit your needs well, without much modification, because your boat is basically flat on the bottom... http://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-Capacity-48-in-x-96-in-Heavy-Duty-Folding-Trailer-62648.html ).
There's not a ton of trout fishing in my area, but I may get on some this Spring...

Como siempre, muy buenas reseñas...saludos desde Monterrey México.
Awesome !!!
As usual, great review.
You're welcome!!!
I've had my Bass Raider for a few years now and have made 3 modifications/add-ons that has made things very convenient. First thing I did was add a 7 inch pedestal to one of the seats. I'm very tall, and that extra 7 inches makes a world of difference. Not only is it more comfortable on the knees and circulation, it also allows me to sit higher while fishing and be able to see just as well as standing up.
The second mod I made was bolting 4 small D-rings to each gunwale, 2 inside, 2 opposite of them on the outside, with about 4ft between them. That allows me to strap down Rods I'm not using at the moment. I unfortunately learned the hard way that eventually you will knock rods off sitting them on top of those sides. I lost 3 rods at one time having them sitting up there unsecured. I caught a fish and as I was unhooking it, the rod I was using fell and hit the 3 sitting on the side and over they went into 30 feet of water never to be seen again.
The last mod I made was a make shift rod holder that can hold 4 rods. I used lengths PVC pipe that fit snugly in the corner holders on the boat that extended about 3 inches above the plastic bracket. I added a 90 degree elbow to each piece, an between that I have four evenly spaced 4 way cross fittings mounted so the open parts of the fitting are straight up and down. Just stick a rod in and it stands perfectly. Been quite a while, but I believe it was 1 1/4 inch PVC that I was using.
This is exactly what I was hoping for with this video. Thanks for adding some great ideas for the crowd to consider!
Will do!
No, it's the back.
Great vids and awesome tips always.
Keep them coming.
Take Warden Warden fishing one day.
I should!
The pits sound great!
I
LOL...
I've fished out of tons of Jon boats and the difference is dramatic.
I am...
I may help a little for now.
I'll always have this boat though!
I think you can find vids of people doing this with laser and sunfish sailboats.
and it not a problem I was waiting to buy the pelican cause" waiting on income tax too lol " don't know if I can move it around with out issues I have a small car I don't really need a video just recommendation or tips :)

I knew I missed something! Good catch...
It goes right under the seat so it still doesn't take up any floor space.
You're welcome!
