Anyone on here have a Basstender boat?

Just looking for some info on whether or not it would work well for a local pond use.

I'd definitely recommend it. I have a 9.4 Basstender, and it fishes small ponds and rivers like a champ. Fits nicely in the back of my F150, and will stand vertical in the garage for storage. I've fished two adults in there safely.

Properly equipped, how would it row?

Should be alright with the right length oars. I've always run mine with a trolling motor.

I had a 10' model, tri hull design. Two of us stood on the edge of it, still had a couple inches of freeboard. Very stable. I used it on a 500 and a 1300 acre lake. As stated above, get a long paddle. Had a gas engine on it, and a trolling motor.
Wouldn't hesitate to get another one.

I have the 11.3 or something like that. Been using it about once a week or so. I took my and took the seats out and decked the entire top. Put a new pro-butt seat on it and use a 40 lb trust on the front. Havent tried to have anyone else on it with me so not sure if there would be enough room or not. i think there would be as long as you were a where of your positioning. I fish several big ponds/small lakes.

Got pictures? That would be neat to see.

This is only pic I have right now. As you can see I have decked the entire boat and put a pro butt seat on it

Wow, that's really cool! Is it tippy when you're up front?

[leachman]

no not at all. I took someone out with me few days ago and it didnt feel all that bad. I'm about 125 and he is easy 230 and still felt good. I took a few more pics for you. Let me resize them then Ill post them
