Woohoo !! I just finished reading all 132 pages of this thread . I found this forum, more specifically, this thread about a week ago while searching for replacement seat brackets for my Pond Prowler. After seeing all the mods you folks have done on these little boats I think I've decided to go with a pedestal seat instead (maybe even a raised deck).
I learned a lot from this thread about things that I hadn't given any thought to before so a big thank you to all of you.
I was at Basspro today and saw the new version of the Pond Prowler and think that I prefer my older model without all the factory bells and whistles.
I don't know if I'll have any success posting pictures but there is a lot of differences between the two. My older one has the squared off bow.
