pelican bass raider vs uncle bucks

[basschamp]

hello im looking to get a small pond boat, and i was thinkin of either the pelican bass raider 10e or the uncle bucks 10ft boat. they look almost the same put the pelican weighs 15 more pounds then the uncle bucks and the uncle bucks boat can hold  A 5HP BEATING THE pelicans 3.5 but i hear people talk about the the pelican more. does anyone have any expirience with these boats? I am also going to modify and put a higher deck on with some storage compartments.

You might want to look at bass hunter boats also, been in many of them and had a 5hp on mine , there good lil boats and close to the same as the bass raider.

I currently own my 2nd 9' BPS Pond Prowler. 1st one got stolen. I fish at least 20 hours a week in it with nothing but 55# trolling motor. Just light enough I can struggle it in and out of the truck myself. Fish well, pretty stable even when standing. Great for 1 or 2. Though with 2 it's a little cramped obviously. I like the pre-wiring on the BPS. I can put the battery on the back and cover it with one of the seats and have the motor up front so you have more room. Really can't go wrong.  I'm fishing so much now that i'm actually shopping for a used fiberglass 19' bass boat but I've caught MANY large bass in the Pond Prowler. Think it floats in like 6-8" of water.
