Bass Hunter Boat EX 120????

[Mary]

looking for a small boat for my pond.  Interested in the Bass Hunter boats EX 120.  Does anyone know if they hold water along the sides and in cup holder.  I want to keep it out on my pond tied to pier, but not sure if it is a pain every time it rains?  I see the bottom has a drain but curious about the sides?  Any clue if that is an issue?

Not sure about the Bass Hunter. But I can tell you about a Pelican Bass Raider 10E. I keep mine tied to my dock as well. I had to add a floor drain to it. That was an easy fix with a trip to West Marine. I picked up a 3/4" thru hull fitting. I used a hole saw and cut the hole in the splash well, a little 5200 and wa-la. Thats all I had to do to keep it from filling with rain water. The Cup holders in it have drain channels that will drain into the floor. However the Raider also has reel pocket in the sides that can and do hold water. My solution was a large sponge found in the Lowes paint department. Sucks the water right out and can be used to wipe down the boat. If you haven't bought one yet I really love my Bass Raider and recommend it highly. I have had it for a couple years now. I bought mine used from a guy locally. It is a 2010 model and still looks great. Even after 10 years in the Florida sun. If you get lucky you can find them at a good price. Just make sure it has been titled and registered before. Some people neglect to title them. I guess they just used then in private ponds. When they are ready to sell, it becomes a nightmare to get the proper paperwork to title it. These small boats do not need a lot of power to get around really well. I have a 32lb Minn Koat on mine. I can fish all day with no problems. If it ever dies I might upgrade to a 55lb but it's really not necessity.
