2020 Pelican Bass Raider 10E Fishing Boat
This is a twin-hull designed light weight fishing boat fabricated out of Ram-X high impact resistant and durable, long lasting material. The boat has twin folding and swiveling seats that are attached to aluminum frames that are anchored on sliding tracks on each side of the boat. This elevated seating system allows adjustability for clearance, comfort and total 360 degree fishing control. This boat has good storage space, drink holders and vertical rod holders. There is an innovative pre-wiring system with outlets to allow the operation of an electric foot-operated trolling motor at the bow (included in sale), and an electric drive motor at stern (also included in sale). Also for a fish finder/GPS Navigator, mounted on the bow (also included in the sale). A transducer is mounted at the bow of the boat. A nearly new battery (included in the sale), housed in a plastic battery box that is secured to the boat floor, allows for electric 12 volt power at each end of the boat.
The twin hull design gives excellent transverse stability while entering and leaving the boat, and while fishing. This is supplemented by extra custom by side-sponsons, attached to the outer skin of each side of the boat.
A 4 hp outboard motor (with self-contained fuel tank), is also offered as part of the sale. This motor can be attached to the stern transom mounting position, as an alternative to the stern mounted electric motor (see above). This allows greater range of operation when transiting to favorite fishing sites. This outboard motor has a manual pull start and a choke. It has been used only twice, since new. The transit speed of the boat with the outboard motor is about 10 mph.
The boat comes with title and is registered in Texas.

Summary
This comprehensive boat and trailer set-up allows for safe lake fishing for two people, in a comfortable and convenient fashion without a large or further investment having to be made. The boat and trailer are light enough to be towed behind a relatively small vehicle. They also can be towed behind a travel trailer (if state regulations allow this), without the necessity to replace or upgrade the main towing vehicle. Alternatively they can be towed behind a motorhome, that is also towing a second vehicle (as long as the second vehicle is fitted with a rear mounted two bar and ball, and rigged for lighting).
This Bass Raider boat and custom trailer is offered for sale due to age and health reasons of the current owner.
