Hi guys! I just joined the forum today, but I have been reading this thread for a couple months now. I can proudly say that I picked up a Pelican Bass Raider 10E. It was on sale on Craigslist and a friend of mine went and picked it up for me. Anyways I bought it without having seen it. My friend looked it over before paying and made sure all was good and I couldn't be happier. I wasn't sure if it was 8 or 10 foot because of the photo, but I picked it up yesterday and saw that it was a 10E which is exactly what I was looking for. Long story short - I am ready to start working on this boat and get it ready for this season and with all the great ideas on this thread I don't think I could go wrong. I will post some pictures when I get a chance and likely ask you guys some questions along the way. I appreciate all your help. Thanks.
