Are the Basshound 10.2 any good

[Alabama(AL)]

Has anyone had any experience with the boats or any similar as mention above ,I brought a 2007 basshound 10.2 /w 4 hp johnson. got it for a super deal with all the extra gadgets, compared for what i see people are selling /buying them for. I'm wondering how well this boat:with two adults handle in wind, its stability, standing , is anchoring it better etc ...ANY & ALL input,pictures or set-up recommendations will be WELCOMED.

Those are most definitely pond boats. They're designed for fishing in calm waters, and shouldn't be used on large bodies of water, except on calm days and near shore.

For their purpose, they're fun to fish from. They're pretty stable on calm water, and you're pretty much limited to sitting on the seats and fishing. Your 4 hp outboard will push it around pretty well. An electric troller is also desirable for maneuvering around while fishing. I believe your boat has mounts on both ends of the boat, to make using both easy.

The boat is made of polyethylene plastic...same as used in Rubbermaid garbage cans. Don't store it in direct sunlight, since the ultraviolet light will break down the plastic.

For use on small ponds and lakes, they're nice little fishing platforms, but that's all they are. Go fishing.
