TNReb Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Is your bluetooth speaker rechargeable or battery operated? What make/model is it? I have one, but it only lasts about 3 hours. I've had it go dead plenty of times. Quote
tfultz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Iceman71, their Costal Kayak brand. Web site is kayakfishing.com i found them on google, searched locking paddle clips. Quote
tfultz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 TNReb, its an Ecorox. Rechargable, it last for about 8-10 at a time. Sound quality and product quality are awesome!! Quote
jakesnapper Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Tfultz I sure like that bow fishing rig. How much run time do you get out of those lights? Quote
jakesnapper Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 The other afternoon it came a thunderstorm while my boat was still in the back of my truck. When I went to unload it after the rain, I noticed water sloshing inside the hull. Take mind that this is a brand new boat with no cracks. Could the water have seeped in the seam on the outer edge? Mine has the drain plugs in the end so it was no big deal to open them up and let it run out but has anybody else had this issue? Has anybody run a bead of silicone caulk around the edge to seal off the seam? Quote
tfultz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Tfultz I sure like that bow fishing rig. How much run time do you get out of those lights? I dont know. It was a pic a buddy of mine found on a bow fishing web site. If they were LED probably get a long run time. Quote
tfultz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Pointhunter75, I've got right at $200 in all of it. Cam cleats, pullys and the matterial to make the mount. Quote
Reyn Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 tfultz, Since you've mounted so many items to your Bass Raider, I was wondering how you go about doing it. I plan on ordering paddle clips like yours, but didn't want to take a chance of compromising the integrity of the hull. Thanks. Quote
tfultz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I've been using 1/8" toggle bolts. They hold really well. The hole is not all that big i make. I figured if the manufacture rates them for a 3.5hp outboard or 615lb, a few small holes cant hurt! Quote

TheBigLebowski Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 So, I've read all 88 pages of this topic......and I'm in the market for a bass raider 10. I've looked at a few off craigslist but haven't found any where the price of the used ones lines up with what I'm prepared to offer at this time. For instance today I saw one today, he was asking $550. It was 4 years old and was in fair shape. It came with an older Minn Kota 36# TM that wasn't in very good shape, had a broken prop and a 4 year old deep cell battery. So the motor and battery would need replaced. Ultimately he wanted 550 for the used boat.....and he wouldn't budge on price. When you compare that with the fact that I could pick up a new one at dick's for 599 and get a 10% discount so 550 plus tax it just doesn't seem worth it. What is the price point that a used one would need to be priced at to make it worthwhile........or what extras make it a good deal. I will say after reading all of the posts, I sure was an informed consumer when I showed to see the boat......and for that I say thank you. Quote
jjohnson114 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Hey Sippi, what i was trying to say is that i mounted the transducer to the motor with the bracket then i took the fishfinder base and screwed it down to a piece of scrap paneling then when i want to use it i just use a bungee cord to strap it down .If you look at the picture above it's strapped down kinda like where that yellow bungee is. Not sure where you are located but I bought mine a few weeks ago in the DFW,Texas area. Bought a 10e for 429! Quote

tfultz Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 jjohnson114, it is! Ive added a few things since the video was made! Quote

I will say after reading all of the posts, I sure was an informed consumer when I showed to see the boat......and for that I say thank you. If you keep looking I'm sure a better deal will come along. Even though I already have my boat, I always take a peek at craigslist to see whats out there. Not sure how far you are from Lincoln Nebraska but I thought this one was a pretty good deal - might be something you would be interested in or kind of gauge pricing for a used boat ..... $650 for boat, motor, battery and trailer - it almost make me want to get a second boat ... if I had the room to store it. http://lincoln.craigslist.org/boa/4511144351.html Quote

I couldn't find anything on Craigslist either so I gave up and purchased a new boat at Academy for $550. Everyone on Craigslist seems to think that if they paid $500 for their boat and $100 for their trolling motor 3 years ago, then you'll pay them $750 for it today. Quote
stewmagoo Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I finally acquired a bass raider style boat. I am awaiting the title from my friend. It is a 8ft with and electric plug for a trolling motor (8E?). Thi is an older one. Instead of rubber around the mid section (rub rail). It is all metal like stainless steel. The only fault is the color. The top half is factory blue with sand bottom. I am going to fusion paint the top half green. The first three letters of VIN are HII. Got a minn Kota 40lb trolling motor with it, it has the aluminum seat rails with upgraded bass boat seats. Any help identfying year and manufacture would be of help. As soon as I can figure out how to place pics via iPhone I will. Thanks. Stew Quote
pointhunter75 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I am gonna put a plug in mine too. What fitting is it and long to get through the floor? Quote
