 Great boat for solo fishing! August 29, 2008
K. Vecchio (NY USA)
If you want to make this little raft into a comfortable solo fishing machine then you might want to do what I did:
First: buy the raft(duh!) By the way, shipping is free and extremely fast, and the price is much better at Amazon than buying locally at Dick's ect.
Second: get the Sevylor MM3 motor mount.
Third: get a trolling motor. I recommend a Minnkota Endura 30. It lasts a long time, has a 2 year warranty, will run all day on a good battery, and moves this little raft through the water with great ease and faster than a row boat with the same motor.
Fourth: get a deep cycle battery. I recommend a big Everstart from Wal-Mart. They're inexpensive and work great for a long time.
Fifth: Grab a heavy duty lead cord and splice about 5 feet of it onto the end of your trolling motor cord. Now splice the ends that you cut off of the trolling motor to the other end of the cord. This gives you a longer cord on your trolling motor which allows you to put your battery in the front of the raft, which counter-balances the raft nicely when you're in it. This also gets the battery out of your sitting area, which is equally important in this small craft.
Sixth: Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to fit on the floor of the raft. You'll have to cut short angles on the back and longer angles on the front to fit the oval-ish shape of the floor. Then just give the edges a quick hand sand to remove any splinters and then cover the edges with duct tape to prevent friction against the inside of the raft. Then you'll have a more sturdy floor that will allow you to stand up and fish. It also makes the battery sit better and you too. It really makes everything better because nothing will be protruding downward into the water, thereby putting much less stretch and strain on the bottom of the raft and also reducing all drag from the inside oval of the raft. This allows you to cruise much faster.
That's it! Good Fishing!

I'm very happy with this boat. It is only a 1 person boat but handles quite nicely on lakes and ponds.

The boat was everthing it was advertised to be. I will use it as a boat tender. It looks tuff enough to handle landing on a rocky beach etc. Especially so if you purchase the boat boot.
