HOW TO BUILD A CHEAP BOWFISHING BOAT

[Lenttownship]

Nice set up but you could use a bigger cooler for the fish ha

[kodyjman]

cooler for fish and cooler for....... beer haha lmfao

[howellt013]

I like how you don't have a 'drink' cooler, you have a 'BEER' cooler. Freakin awesome

[GuidesForHireLLC]

very neat! thanks for the video.

you msut hunt some deep water, we can hunt with the main motor in high trim in the deep spots, butcould never run the the shallow water we shoot in with a gas engine like that.

Proves that what works for one guy wont for another. Like enclosing the gas tanks, I would never do that because now you are required by USCG to have mounted fire extinguishers and blowers and crap. Being on federal waters we have to pass a US Coast Guard safety inspection.

[lanceehansen]

nice,

[youdhateme]

nice boat dude! but doesnt the vibration from the generator scare the fish away? maybe better to use 2 deep cycle batteries and a power inverter?

[craigsmithx]

I see your genset says 850 on it. 850 watts continuous? I bought an ETQ genset with exactly that footprint & the papers claimed it would run 1000 watts continuous. I regularly pull 1300 for long stretches. I like the inward facing lights, i will have to do something like that for my boat. Your rig makes me want to get back into archery.

[CONNORWIESELER2014]

Hey man Does the bowfishing stand make it less stable and is that 16' boat ?

[phillipsteven123]

put a 50 evinrude on that

[retrodan92]

bout how many men can fish off it comfortably?

[mockingbirdmike]

did you mount the light stand with just brackets or is there more holding to boat

[Meleemaker]

Dont mean to sound like an ass but that first weld you showed sucked shit lol....

but I really love your set-up. How much did it run you for the boat, trailer, lights, generator, and metal?

[187RIVERRAT]

@Meleemaker i welded that like 6 years ago in an alley with hardley no power still holding 100%

[XxMODERNxWARFARE3xX]

Love the boat! Great for flounder gigging or what not and BOWFISHING!

[gto088]

Trolling motors are a pain in the ass, the batteries are heavy as shit, they're expensive, and they get coated in weeds all the time.. there is no such thing as a 'weedless' prop

[UGLandrum]

@gto088 man you sound like a pussy

[TheLoneWolf258]

@UGLandrum Yeah and talking shit on the internet makes you sound like a total badass...

[UGLandrum]

@TheLoneWolf258 and talking like a pussy on the internet makes you sound like a pussy

[TheLoneWolf258]

@UGLandrum In what way am I talking like a "pussy"? I assume by "pussy" you mean woman-like? I don't believe any bit of what I said was anywhere remotely woman-like. Furthermore, wtf are you doing on a bowfishing video? I know no sportsman or bowfisher who I would consider as such refer to female anatomy in such a degrading way. You're a little shit talking faggot, you're clearly illiterate (your grammar is borderline retarded), and you're not even good at shit talking.

[UGLandrum]

@TheLoneWolf258 "You're a little shit talking faggot, you're clearly illiterate (your grammar is borderline retarded), and you're not even good at shit talking." You clearly have nothing better to do than pathetically try to insult my grammar which is not lacking in any aspect. Sure I was "shit talking" but, if you are whining like a bitch about the weight of batteries and that "weedless props" are not really weedless than you really do sound like one.

[doughesson]

@gto088 It makes for a good marketing line,doesn't it?All the people buying them thinking their weed pulling days are over & they can run the boat anywhere they want now.

[wheetley97]

That's sweet, we got lights on poles on our pontoon, I just got into carp killin, it's so fun

[Copperswilly]

pretty cool setup. I think I would have put the bow hanger on the inside of the frame that way you don't lose it. We used to hunt carp where I live from an old wooden rowboat with a 1940's 3 hp

[treereaper45]

it would be cool if u could put the lights under the boat.

[RestlessLion]

Nice rig brotha

[Bassman018]

Do you make jigs and spinner baits, and post on bassresource?

[millsap40]

im about to get that exact generator, and i was wondering if it has trouble powering all those lights..and are they 150 watts piece

[RIVERRAT187]

@millsap40 id get a bigger honda 4 stroke

[millsap40]

@RIVERRAT187 i think im going to use my big generator instead those hondas are expensive ill put up a video when mine is all done with

[Eashcan]

Sweet Boat! look's like thats my next project

[chadreedfan221]

i dont like the coolers because if you get to many beers its easy to throw a fish in the beer

[TheSwampbottomboyz]

What size Genertor Is that

[jtschid0910]

how much did this cost you altogether

[poolroom1]

What kind of boat is that

[DuckSlayers13]

how much did the aluminum tubing cost ?

and how much did the whole platform cost?

[HoytHunter54]

How long is the boat?

[docmerrow]

Nice boat, small cooler though you must not shoot a lot of carp, or you just throw them back.

[fishcity100]

One for fish and one for beer, great storage sytem. hahaha. How big is the generator? like how much voltage can it give off

[Ratskeller500]

Can you tell me what kind of boat you started with? and the size? awesome set up!

[briglove]

you think you go tall enough rails?

[pzIkmwusjc]

great bowfishing boat, too bad i don't have one i shot carp from the shore with recurves 56# and 40#

[010CLM]

If you dont use a trolling motor wat do you use?

[RIVERRAT187]

we just idle the 9.9 johnson it dosent scare the fish and runs slow enough

[Goingpostal1000]

@RIVERRAT187 Wish the water I fish was deep enough to just run a outboard...

[crabzorz]

no trolling motor?

[RIVERRAT187]

NO THERE A PAIN IN THE ASS

[crabzorz]

Why do you say that? I love mine.

[fk243]

cool boat, btw, how many pounds do you have your bow set at when you bowfish?

just wondering.

[RIVERRAT187]

i go 80lbs on mine most people turn them down but i like to shoot off bridges to

[fk243]

thanks

[gasperoutdoors]

I keep mine at 27lbs, but I rarely take shots longer than 15ft and I dont see many fish over 100lbs so it does the job.

[fk243]

thanks i think i'll put my bow at 50 lbs, for longer distance shots.

[useradam9666]

@fk243 i use 20 pounds and it works fine for me and it doesn't kill my arm when we go out all night..

[010CLM]

pay*

[010CLM]

around how much did you pat for the 6 halogen lights?

[187RIVERRAT]

13.00 a piece

[buzizzy]

Very Cool!!! I am putting together something very similar here also! Nice JOB!!! This bad boy beats multi kilo dollar setups all to hell as it did not cost 10G's

[AverageFisherman]

setup! id like to try bowfishin some time, but im not too good @ shootin a bow

[RedneckMikeSr]

bad ass boys have bad ass toys.

[rednecknate08]

how much was your outboard johnson

[RIVERRAT187]

600$

[Geezart1982]

Your like the Red Neck Macgiver! 5 stars

[freakboy100101]

u need to use the small cooler for fish and the bigger one for the beer!

[187RIVERRAT]

ur right lol

[fenderguitarist05]

I noticed that too! Other than that small problem this is one sweet boat though!

[freakboy100101]

hell yeah it is.

[gasperoutdoors]

if we used that small cooler for fish the trip would be over in 15 minutes

[freakboy100101]

then get 2 HUGE coolers!

[freakboy100101]

also if you run out of beer the trips over also!

[bellbucksnbeards]

Nice boat!

[dixieunited]

this is awesome...very nice set up... but i would put a tarp over the generator when its not in use...i work on generators and ive seen wat water and dirt can do...

[GlockAnimal]

Cool !

[rrr1sportrider]

Great job man! That boat is awsome!!

[bigjess71]

Thats a sweet set up you got there man.That boat kicks ass.5/5

[stabbinhos88]

[cal883123]
