    I'm in my 2nd week now waiting for my Academy jon boat trailer. They said 2-4 weeks...so I'm hopeful. This boat does NOT exist around me or on their website...but it does seem like a great boat for heavy duty fishing. I like how the inside is "finished" with a flat floor and the walls, boxes, etc. I don't NEED a new job boat right now...but I saved this video...it seems like this might be a great boat

      When aluminum prices come back down to where they were before November of 2020, we should see this model pop back up again. Right now Alumacraft cant manufacture it at an affordable price point due to the high cost of aluminum, and importing it.

All pre wired with switches. 15' with the 25 merc efi and trailer was around 13.5 k tax title out the door and 16' was around 15k. I have the 1548 and i really like it so far.

      It does not have the alumatrac rail system. It looks like it does, but it’s different in this boat and there are no accessories that work with it.

    This is the boat I want but, they told me it would be the beginning of next year before they were going to have any in stock. Smh

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah, since middle of 2020 the boat market has been hit pretty hard, and many manufacturers of aluminum boats are out of stock and struggling to keep up with demand.

      I wouldn’t recommend it. It is not comfortable in rough water.

      @FloBass  4 роки тому

      Yeah, I fish out of it all the time. Its holding up really well. I drag it all over the place so it definitely doesn't look as nice as it did, but it was made to take a lickin for us to keep on fishin.

    I think I rather make the expense on a 14ft at 899.00 considering you still need a motor and trailer!

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  4 роки тому +2

      It all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. I moved up from a 1436 to this boat.

      @FloBass  3 роки тому

      It's been great! Obviously I wish the boat was bigger and had a larger motor, but it's what I can afford and tow with my volkswagen right now. Still very happy with it. I'm installing seadek so its a little more comfortable and the floor doesn't get so hot in the Florida sun.

    did you just clamp the motor to these boats or did you bolt them to the transom? im afraid of the motor falling off of mine lol

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  4 роки тому +1

      Just clamped. I have it on an electric trim plate now which is bolted to the transom, but the motor is still just clamped to the trim plate. It doesn’t move at all

    Cool boat bro. I ended up buying the new 2020 yammie f25 I watched your vids they helped me make my choice. Ended up in the same boat tho lol the yammie surprised me on my 14ft antique clipper. Do I get a discount on a peacock trip lmao. Thanks bro

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  4 роки тому +1

      Good choice of motor! Did you get one with electric start? I regret not getting it, but I bought the kit from yamaha to add it.

    • @lucaspayne6593
      @lucaspayne6593 4 роки тому

      Hey thanks for the reply. Yea I went electric start but not by choice. I went to a local dealer an they told me it would be 3 months to get a f25 so I called every dealer within 500 miles an found one about 50 miles away an it wasn't suppose to be electric start but when I got there it was a electric start model so it all worked out for me it was kinda crazy.

      Honestly I have no idea. Didn't mention it in the owners manual or on the tags in the boat. I'm sure Alumacraft can answer that question.

    I got a bass tracker 2013 14 48 I love it so much but I'm always having problems with it!!! If you hit a rock or something and you pierc it and wind up with a leak that's it you can't find nobody that wants to fix them I found one guy that fixed it once before and then I wound up with two more small little leaks and now I got to get that fixed I'm in Florida as well do you happen to know anybody??? Who does good TIG welding??? Mine is also an all weld or do you have any idea how much it would cost to get a new one like that without the motor or trailer mine's a little bit different than yours I could stand on the front with your nap like those it's like a platform and under that is like a holding cell put your life jacket and stuff with a little hole I don't have a trolling motor mount that came with the boat Factory it's a 2013 Bass Tracker grizzly14 48
