Hey guys! Sorry I left this info out. So far I’ve used this boat 2 evenings back to back fishing trips without recharging the batteries and still ran strong! Take in consideration I don’t run the outboard much. Only spot to spot.

That’s an awesome build! Thanks for taking us along on this journey. Roy

Fantastic job on the boat brother...it's beautiful and you should be very proud!

Bass boat on a budget is every fisherman's dream. You accomplished it!

The boat turned out awesome. I can't wait to see you in your first tournament with this boat.

I think you done a tremendous job on this boat! It looks like show room ready! I watched this from conception. It was a very pleasant watch! Now how is the CAT DOING! great video great work!! Keep these coming!

Epic indeed!

Awesome looking boat , what is the size for your mini bass boat

Damn that thing is fuckin tight!! I wanna do a lil build like this eventually, prolly a lil more of a budget build tho

Did you compare using sheet aluminum vs the pvc for your floor?

What’s the shaft length and pound thrust of your trolling motor?

Was curious if that electric outboard did any better than a trolling motor, thanks!

How fast does it go? I love the boat!

Your mini bass boat is looking great. Good job. Just for information, how much battery left do you have at the end of your fishing day and how are you recharging them, how long does it take?

@TightlineTV

I have the charger specifically made for these batteries. Takes as long as any deep cycle battery to charge IMO

How long can you fish on a full charge with your setup? I’ve been wanting to go all electric as well but nervous that I’ll get stranded on the water and end up paddling back lol.

your boat is perfect! perfect! perfect! what a awesome success story! all electric. you should name it newton! cheers to you and your family. Brian and family, Spokane Washington

Newton! Hahaha

you should put 3 of those motors on it.

If no wood what are you using for ballast weight, there is a reason fiberglass boat companies use wood and why some large ships use concrete, or iron. On a lightweight boat like yours does it get affected by wind drift? Ballast is used for more than just to keep it upright its also used to give the boat itself a little heft. Does yours float out of control when there is wind or any kind of swell, I'd be Interested in all of that info as well, as I might build my own.

Planing hulls don’t need ballast. Weight is generally the enemy in a planing hull, with designers and builders constantly seeking ways to reduce weight. Particularly on flat bottom boats like this. Many saltwater targeted boat companies don’t have any wood in their fiberglass boats - it’s a major selling point to be wood free. I was shocked when I found out bass boats have wood in them because freshwater and wood are a bad combination that leads to rot. There’s really no need to use wood at all in fiberglass boats anymore with the availability of foam coring materials like divinycell and coosa.

@@N2theBlue1 do you get wind drift when it's super windy? It seams to light weight, I mean yes you cargo under the deck acts as ballast if it's balanced evenly, but it looks to high centerd, what I'm asking is boat's will float away from the anchor point and it's normally a slow drift, have you compared the drift to other non electric boats and timed it, as light weight boats should drift away from the anchor faster and it seams like it might be to fast near a current. Maybe a test is in order in the future. Keep up the great content.

@@the.unhappy.mechanic it’s a Jon boat. This whole project is custom and specific. Your basically taking a row boat and turning it into a mini bass boat. The point is to be light but stable. If I need to put it in a truck bed I can. If it’s windy enough to blow me off the lake I’m probably not fishing that day anyway haha also yes trolling motor solves other issues of wind

Nice boat, do you have plans to move back to Ohio

Cool deal! I was wondering, you said you bought bulk in the wrap and figured you used 50 bucks worth. What did you have to spend to get your 50 bucks worth? My lady said call it "Rocket".

What does it GPS at? Use your phone and report back in next video 😁

They make a 10hp 60v now. Try that.

A little misleading bc your average Jon boater doesn’t get 2 $1500 batteries for free. But it’s definitely a sick build. Well done!

Hahah agreed, but that’s why I didn’t price it at that. for $1,073 you can have a fully built/wrapped Jon boat with a trolling motor up front. Which is all you need IMO. I’m not taking this 12ft boat on BIG lakes. Mainly small body’s of water. I just had the oppurtunity to do this so I went for it. Thanks for the view!
