Depends on your budget, and whether you'll trailer it. These fold down if you need to.

Needs a remap at least

Nah haven't given up mate. We got a golden retriever puppy recently, and work has been hectic. I've only been on the boat once in 12 or 13 weeks, work is busy and the weather has been shocking over here. I did catch a couple bass from the shore last week though - but not enough time to make a video

@@TheReelIsle Cool, you've your hands full then! Hopefully you'll get back at it soon enough, winter fishing might be good! Summers been very poor.. shocking winds all the time! Get that dog trained up on the boat 😄👍

@Barbedhookfishing haha absolutely mate. For now I just have to enjoy the videos everyone else makes ;)

My 10" is perfect now, previously running a 9"

​@TheReelIsle was this due to the upgrade to a 20hp?

@Oakey22 the rpms with my 9" while 15hp were ideal. Once increasing the power, the 9" prop caused higher rpm, so switching to the larger 10" prop fixed that - more torque

Oh absolutely, he's well into teething now. 15.5 weeks 22kg. Bones is about the right size lol

Nice tips!

Love it! Thank you! I just use the clamps

Enjoy!

4 meter

I've not owned the 395, but I do own the Excel Scout 400 and it's not a problem

@@TheReelIsle I’ve actually got the 3.9 explorer and really like it. Just wondered if the bigger vanguards did this or if the issue was limited to the 365

I've since installed some row locks and oars, but aside from that I'm very happy with the boat still today. Plenty other brands out there too!

I can't say that definitely however there were a number of owners who were experiencing the same.

@@TheReelIsle thanks for your reply.

Thanks for all your vids mate they’re great. I really want to get a SIB now! Is your Excel the best one would you suggest?

Thanks mate!

Thanks!

Hi mate, while in transit I use a transom saver. It connects to the trailer with a quick release pin and I ratchet the engine down on it. Doest budge and all load goes on the trailer

@@TheReelIsle thats awesome! Thanks for the info.

Yep, 0.9psi when we got back. These boats float well even while low on air, plus they're chambered. Very capable!

I do indeed mate!

This boat with a 20hp will do up to 24mph with just me on, or 21/22 with 2 men

Hi mate, this my trailer which is ideal for a 4m boat: ua-cam.com/video/W3wR1MYTH9A/v-deo.html Whether a jetski trailer will work for you is dependent on thr frame measurements and existing structure to mount the bunks that'll be required to support the boat. There's no better than purpose built, but if you're handy then modifying an existing chassis is also viable- just keep an eye on spiraling costs

​@@TheReelIsle thank you!

Almost happened to me a couple times too. Easiest method is to have a weak link - a cable tie. In other words your chain attached to the wrong end of the anchor - upside down so it's easy to pull backward. The cable tie connects the chain to the correct end of your anchor. If you get stuck the cable tie breaks and your anchor gets pulled backwards. Failing that, very very very carefully maneuver around in a semi circle so you're upside and then pull it out that way. Idling, no revs whatever- dangerous!

Yes sir, a 360 cam is superb for this

@@TheReelIsle awesome, I like how you can zoom in and zoom out at different angles, almost looks like someone else is recording you :)

Thanks mate - takes ages to edit but worth it

I can only go by personal experience - I'd have chosen a Scout 365 over a Vanguard personally. And I'd chose a Scout 400 over a 365.

I bought the whole trailer mate but link in description. I think extreme sell similar rollers but very expensive

Hello! So happy you've found this useful. The part number listed on the eBay item I purchased is: Mercury: 8M0135817 & Tohatsu: 3RS-06401. The original listing is no longer available I'm afraid so I can't share the link. Good luck!

Thanks ✌

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Easier to pull for sure but they'd take up more space - pros and cons to all choices though. Good idea!

Thanks mate 🤩

Thank you! You know I've just installed 3 ports on my boat so I should have done a video. Maybe next time though!

@@TheReelIsle You forgot your beer holder!!

Yes! Lol

Thank you, nice lure too!

Thanks mate i did try crushing my barbs but lost 3 sea trout in a row with their aerial shenanigans. I'll check out some singles mate

Thanks Mark!

Thanks!

About 1.5 inches mate. But to gauge it I removed both black rollers and then winched the boat on with transom wheels. I then lowered the rows of rollers as low as I could while leaving clearance for the keel to get over the rear bar of the trailer. Once the rollers were as low as possible then I just fit the wheel arches where it made sense. A tiny bit under the height of the main rollers

That takes the guesswork out of it , going to start on it tomorrow weather permitting, thanks for reply

Anytime. Good luck!

Thank you! It's a 360degree camera so it records in all directions. When you import that to a computer then you end up with a spherical image. From there you just zoom rotate and adjust to reframe the shot. That way you never miss a shot because the camera is pointing the wrong way;)

I've not used them really sandy sand, more semi-compacted, so I can't answer that very confidently for you.

@@TheReelIsle thank you for sharing! you can always double up on these wheels, sea max selling double wheel kit

@@ia6980 indeed that's always an option!

Haha thanks Mark, it was lovely yesterday. Port Erin was heaving..!

Hey thanks. I paid around £500 for the ECU. I know I got the extra 5 horses because the 9.9, 15 and 20 EFI engines are all identical aside from the ECU mapping and existence of the restrictor plate- identical otherwise. My acceleration and top speed went up and my rpms did too, moving back up to the 10" prop too. When I bought my engine the 20hp was hard to get hold of (covid), and there is no second hand market on the Isle of Man so for me buying the ecu separately was worth it. I've kept it too so I can sell the engine as the original 15hp and or sell the 20ecu separately in future

@@TheReelIsle that’s some great news. But is a reprogramming of ECU possible? Not buying a new one just reprogram the existing one?

@kostaskollias82 I believe so, there is an Australian website servicing that but I've not come across others. I suppose a dealer could.

@@TheReelIsle my dealer said don’t touch the engine 🤣

Spoken like a true dealer lol.

Thanks mate! Dji mic 2 over Bluetooth!

Think I'm going to use bait more often!

I love bait fishing. It's so simple - just some meat on a hook and you never know what's going to bite. I feel like Jeremy Wade every time I go bait fishing :D

Love the questions, it's a scuba diver reel and it's built for salt water. I never rinse it, ever. You can buy them from Cornwall canoes. I pull it in by hand and then wind it on after. If there's a friend on board we can carefully feather gear and reel it in instead!

Thanks - I just got one from Cornwall Canoes as suggested - WAY better quality and size than the £27 job I got from Amazon… Can I ask what weight anchor you’re using there? My 3.2kg is going to be too heavy for this nylon cord I think. Also do you mark the nylon with a sharpie or something for lengths in ft?

Hey I use a 1.5kg grapnel and 4m of chain. I just estimate the warp length rather than mark the cord

I've had a pin almost slide out too - you need to remember to check them every now and then. They could do either a stopper nut on them

Thanks mate, top recommendation that! Mine is deflating slowing so I have a replacement on the way!

@@TheReelIsle sorry to hear that, at least your getting it sorted

Thank you! I will try and fix that in my next video- you'd think the software would measure Bluetooth latency and adjust it automatically but I'll figure out how to do it
