I know this forum is for canoes and kayaks but have any of you tried a bass buggy type boat with a trolling motor? I bought a Pelican 10' Bass Raider at Academy, a 30lb. thrust Minn Kota trolling motor and a good deep cycle battery and have been pounding some fish in it. Weighs about 125lbs. has 2 seats and is pre-wired for the trolling motor. My buddy and I who weighs 300lbs fished Okissa Lake in MS in it and I could not belive how stable it is. You can stand and flip and pitch in it and set the hook as hard as you want and it doesn't move much. The pontoon design is why it is so stable. I had a ski boat throw a 4' wave at me in Henderson Lake the other day and it handle it like a champ. If you are into paddling it is not the ticket. For some who cannot afford a boat, motor and trailer and cannot handle the kayak thing this would be an option I would recommend highly. I would send a picture of one of the big bass we caught in it but I am not sure how to attach the file.
