Hey Billy great video! May I ask how you fastened your multi bars to your boat? I have the same boat and cannot find a way to get underneath the deck to use a nut and bolt. Did you use self tapping screws? Thanks
I used Rivnuts for about 6 holes and bolts/nuts for two holes where the Rivnuts were not aligned up properly. Thankfully I had access on that side for bolts and nuts. Rivnuts work great if you can get them to align up perfectly.
Hey! Fellow Knoxville guy here! Marine Specialists installed my bass boat carpet. I saw a few excel there that looked really nice! If you don’t care.. wondering if you have any experience with 7’+ rods in the rod lockers.
I was able to stuff almost all of my rods on the storage side of the boat (10 catfish rods, 2 Musky/Stripe, 2 Skipjack, 1 small bluegill rod). I used the rod locker as storage. This exact boat is for sale at Marine Specialists right now as I have traded it in for another boat!
Depends on what you would consider issues. It doesn't draft as shallow as some people think (its heavy). The rod lockers would only hold bass rods. You don't really need a back deck in a catfish boat (cant get away from that). The console took up a ton of space and cant attach anything to windshield easily. It really needs a dual axle trailer (I had single axle, tires kept bouncing into fender). Outside of that it was a tank of a boat.
I had a few reasons. The rod lockers of the ProCat were only bass rod size. The back deck is a tripping hazard (something I can't get away from). I put rod holders that were to short in the back. The console took up a LOT of space and I couldn't mount anything to the windshield. The single axle trailer was garbage. I don't need an 80 gallon livewell (rather have a large bait tank).
Nice boat. But idk what I would do with it park it in the yard and pretend I was fishing on the lake lol. Ain't no water big enuff for a boat like that where I live lol
