Will Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Does anyone have any personal expierences with the Uncle Buck's Pond Prowler? How steady is the little boat for standing up and fishing? I am thinking about buying a used one and adding a casting/flipping deck to it, but I want to make sure it is sturdy before buying one.

Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 24, 2005 Super User Share Posted June 24, 2005 I have a 10.5 ft 2 man Bass Baot and I only fall out 2-3 times a year ;D. I built a home made casting deck and that was incredibly un-stable. I just stand up in it now with out the casting deck and it is pretty stable (unless you hit a stump.... you're probably going for a swim).

Wabassin Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I got a little boat like that for fishing ponds and I have a casting deck in it and still have not fallen out.But it is a bass tender so it is wider that a Pond Prowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Just another question, for now I drive a car that is to small to fit the boat inside, but a small trailer sounds like the right choice. Where could I find a cheap trailer to haul the boat around on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabassin Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 In adds in the paper or motorcycle dealerships( for the flat type that those boats fit on.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabassin Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Dirt bike dealer ships. They will have trailers. motorcycle was the wrong word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Dirt bike and motorcycle trailers, I would of never thought of that. They look perfect though, thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 27, 2005 Super User Share Posted June 27, 2005 Personal Watercraft trailers also do the trick. I don't know if you would be willing to make a trip to KC, but their is a guy at Hillsdale that sales utility trailers for hard to bat prices. I just bought one for my two-man boat. 5 x 10, wood deck, 15 inch wheels, 3000 lbs. capacity, $600. Most 5 x 10 trailers I looked at were in the $900-$1100 rangge. These trailers will be a little more expensive, but they come in pretty handy for other things. Depending on how big your boat is you may be able to go down to a 4 X8 and I think they were around $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
