Sun Dolphin Pro 120

[C0lt]

Searching around the forums, haven't found anything on this boat. Any one have any experience? I was hoping to pick one of these up with summer, get an old john boat trailer, a small out board and a trolling motor. I have a few concerns though, the front deck looks almost too small to put a foot control on, and their looks like there's a large rectangular hollow spot under the back deck;I was hoping to build a plywood rod locker that would go into that space and open up into the middle of the boat. Any experiences, knowledge or tips would be helpful.

I owned a bass tender 11.3. Its the same boat minus carpet for the most part.the deck has a lot of space for a 12 foot boat. There is space for a foot control but I would get one that used a clamp mount, due to the possibility of screws or bolts wiggling out of the plastic if you don't pop off the top half amd bolt it right. Amazon also sells a mount for $60 to use a normal footcontrol. The hollow spot under the back deck is for a gas tank and/or a battery. It is also vented in the center right up against the transom. The boat is very stable I believe the inside floor is just at 48" and a little wider outside the boat. The tri hull design handles rough water pretty well for a small boat.

does the hollow spot in the deck go all the way to the front of the hull?

Im sorry, I meant to ask; does the hollow space under the deck go all the way to the stern?

As far as a trolling motor, Motorguide makes the Bulldog series that has the clamp on mount but still has the foot control. You could do that with the hollow spot, but I don't think it'd be the best use of space since that area is designed to hold your batteries. I never had the 120, but I had a Bass Tender 10.2 which is the size smaller than this. It was a sweet little boat.

Yes, I believe it does but right before it goes to the transom there's a little cut out. That's to vent charging batteries and venting gas tanks.

I'm looking into these as well. You get a lot for the money. 60" beam, up to 15 hp, a ton of storage, livewell, seats, decks, prewired, lights, and 600+ lbs weight capacity and rod holders. Its stacked lol. BUT its plastic. A few reviews stated they had leaks out of the box. That scared me a bit and has made me look at other boats (aluminum, fiberglass). But this one is still on my list. My dilema is looking for something cheap, with a good weight capacity, that I can easily tow with my mustang gt and will last a decent amount of time. Not really to many options for me once I factor in all of the things that WONT work for me lol. I do wish they had one in 14ft that would be optimal!
