I've been wanting one of them 8 foot Sun Dolphin boats from Dicks. They are $449.  Does anybody know the pros and cons of getting it. And how durable they are. I will be fishing by myself  

I have one and love it - I made a lot of modifications to it as well - I posted pictures on other threads about these little boats. 

How easy was it to unload and put it into the water?

a lot of good info here

Thanks! Are these boats good on taking on wakes?

I just load and unload it from the back of my pickup truck - it's not too heavy unless of course I don't take out the battery, etc first.  Sometimes I back the tailgate to where it is almost touching the water and unload it from there.  It just slides right into the water - but that is at a concrete boat ramp with a dock.  I would never try that from a soft bank.  I load it in my truck stern first so it rest flat against the bed wall - if I use the tailgate to the water method to load it in I tie a rope to the two handles and left it up and the tailgate and then pull it in.

I only fish no wake lakes so haven't had it against big wakes but the ones I have the boat seems to do very well.  Hope this helps

I have been in some big wakes in my Bass Raider and stayed dry. Keep your eyes open though because them big wakes rock the boat bad and I would not want to be standing when it hits.

They handle chop pretty good too and stay dry. I take mine in the salt sometimes.

Thanks for the info guys

Video of my Basshunter Bass Baby taking some big wakes a few months ago.  Should give you some idea.  8 ft boat.  If I had my trolling motor and battery onboard and up front as usual it may have been different.  Trolling with a 2 1/2 hp merc this particular trip.
