I think that boat is way overpriced for the age and shape it's in. You're going to have to put a decent amount of work into it just to get seating that works. Lawn chairs aren't going to swivel, and they're not going to be secure. If you want to take on the project, I wouldn't give the guy more than 75 bucks, and I'd shoot for 50. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the advice guys!

Hello all. Great thread you've got going here! Just bought at Pellican Bass Raider 10, and getting ready to purchase a trolling motor for it. Any recommendations? I'll be using it on a 190 acre freshwater lake. Most day's it'll be two, 200 lb fishermen + gear aboard. I'm considering a Minn Kota 30 lb thrust or a Minn Kota 50 lb thrust. I'm trying to balance battery life vs power. Don't want to have the battery go dead in the middle of an outing. Do I need the 50, or will the the 30 push her along at a decent speed? Also, any recommendations on a battery? Thanks!
