This custom boat set up was geared toward having one person in the boat and room to stand on the deck to fish with no seat hinderances. The deck is really stable and great height advantage for fishing. Another aspect was to have enough space for all the gear bags under the seat. The first is the full bench seat and the other is a small hatch to easily place the battery. The small hatch seen in the picture with the door open has two flip latches to securely close it.

I was so new to boats, that I didn't know that you had to charge the trolling motor battery I used to be blonde. Anyway, a buddy and I did our maiden voyage launching at Darby Creek at We drifted with the tide and used to trolling motor to keep us in position for fishing spots. At the end of the day, we fire up the trolling motor against the tide to head back to the launch spot which was a mile away. Luckily, we had plastic oars, but no oar locks. We had to paddle against the current.

Good work so far Aux For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. It took forever to get back.

When a crack or hole develops in your Coleman crawdad plastic boat, it will turn the boat un-seaworthy. Not repairing the damage in a timely manner can cause the crack or hole to become larger, leaving you with a bigger problem. Using a path kit that contains glues is only a temporary fix that will not withstand several uses. Instead, choose a plastic boat repair kit that contains a KC welder and filler rod to permanently repair the damage to the Coleman crawdad plastic boat. Clean the area around the damage with soapy water to remove debris. Rinse the soap off the boat. Alternatively, use plastic cleaner instead of soapy water. Align any plastic that is bent down or up around the hole or crack. Cut a piece of wire mesh large enough to cover the crack. The mesh should extended about an inch from each side.

We customized, we conquered, we made upgrades to a Coleman Crawdad! The original seat aluminum tubing was used and paddle clips to secure the deck. Screwing aluminum angle brackets on the underside of the sheeting to reduce warping and bowing. Having the hinges on the front deck allows the deck to be removed from the boat for easier packing on longer river trips. There is more than enough room to pack the essentials for a weekend trip or day trips and still have the deck on and closed. Boat carpet was glued and stapled onto the deck sheeting for slip resistance and comfort. Satisfied mutts that love to boat ride.

I'm just not a real big fan of cutting holes in a boat, lol. Fish will be jumping out of the water to get into that boat!!! The Crawdad did not paddle well, the flat front puts up alot of water resistance. After doing a little research about the boat I found it was a very popular boat and for almost 30 years the design had not changed. I removed the lower unit of an old dead trolling motor, put a paddle blade over the end of motor shaft. I can easily stand on the back deck to cast the fly rod without the boat rocking or tipping.

Who doesn't bring their fishing poles when testing out a boat for the first time? The rod holder on the deck makes it easy to troll for musky and store the rod out of the way. Deals Forum. The rubbermaid storage compartments are nice for miscellaneous accessories like baits, pliers, trash, etc.

Great boat, clean title, working trailer.
