Wow such an incredible presentation of your boat and thank you for sharing this with us! I have been following you now for awhile and I have to say you have really found your calling and you have progressed a lot and I cannot wait to see some more! This boat is beautiful and has everything that is needed and then some!! Hate to see this go but I cannot wait to see the new rig! Alumacraft does make some really nice boats that's for sure! Thanks again for sharing and I think Alumacraft should have you start presenting their boat lineup for next year! :)
Thank you so much, Eric! I have been working at getting more comfortable in front of the camera. Fishing is easy but talking takes more practice. I am enjoying the process! I appreciate your kind words and support! 😀
We just bought the 2024 of the same boat. Thanks for the video!
I'm not sure what to say.
You are clearly gifted at this sort of work.
I am not sure if you are moving up, or down in size and gadgets (but not sure what up would be from this boat!!!)
You are exceptionally talented, and I think you've found a career.
That is so kind of you, Jim! I really appreciate your support! 😊🙌
First time I've seen seen a detail from a woman like this! WOW. Wish the boating community has more like you. Love that boat.
Very nice rig,I recently made the jump from a boat similar to yours to a pontoon with much hesitation,I will never go back,I can’t take on 2 foot swells or cruse at 60mph anymore but the comfort and space are unbelievable,wish they had fishing tournaments for pontoons
Pontoon tournaments - that is an idea! I honestly love pontoons and want to own one someday! 😊
Wow that is one heck of a boat who ever gets it is going to be very proud to have it stay safe 👍👍
Thank you, Tony! It is a heck of a ride and fishing machine, that's for sure 😊
IF THIS IS REALLY HER BOAT, SHE BLEW SOME SERIOUS MONEY ON THIS THING!
Good grief it’s got everything definitely the perfect rig for what you do. 👍👍👍
Thank you! It definitely has been 😊
It looks like the bow compartments would fill with water easily
Beautiful boat, my personal favourite colour scheme from Alumacraft. But oh boy that colorado must be seriously working hard pulling that behemoth.
Thank you! I'm a huge fan of red boats 😀 The Colorado is a diesel and has a higher towing capacity (7700lbs). It doesn't break much of a sweat!
Wow, the boat is fantastic 🛥️👍
Thank you so much! 😊
That rig has everything you could possibly need and some that you don’t Ashley great setup. Can’t wait to see what you get next.
Thank you, James! It has been a dream rig and I cannot wait for more adventures this fall 😊
Good luck on selling it. Definitely a dream rig. Has everything anyone could ever want. And a exquisite ride I’m sure.
@@jamesmims5850 Thank you, James! The ride is impressive and I've had it out on some bumpy big water, too!
I’m sure you have. Gets rough up there for sure. Same as Toledo bend here where I’m at. 12 mph out the wrong direction here and you could surf lol.
Ashley where I’m from has had two major hurricanes in less than 7 weeks. I’m about to weld my boat to the back of my truck and head to the lake I really need some me time if you know what I mean. Been a long road and too many hours repairing destroyed electrical systems. Doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.
I built a mini radar arch over the engine for 300 watt solar and antenna. Full batts 12/7.
Wow what a beautiful set up enjoy your boat
Hi! Wow you're an amazing young lady! It's so refreshing to see a woman shine (for her knowledge) in the predominantly male world of fishing! I'm an old woman that has been fishing for fun most of my life under the radar! Haha! Not wanting to step on any big toes! I'm subbing to your channel so I can learn new things. Keep up with the great videos and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for checking out my channel and for your kind words! It is always great to hear from other ladies who love to fish! 😊 My channel has been a little quiet lately as I've been busy guiding but I do have some upcoming videos planned! Thanks for subscribing!
Awesome presentation Ashley and that is one beautiful rig. I'm green with envy Kiddo. Can't wait to see next years rig. I think it would be hard to beat this rig.
Thank you, Rich! I'm excited as well but won't be happy to see this one go!
Awesome rig and video! Saw it on Facebook too in the alumacraft group. Your break-in video helped me decide to buy mine. Love the boat!
Thank you so much! 😊 That is wonderful to hear!
@@SheLovesToFish I’m researching trolling motors for mine. I see you went with the 72” and an Ulterra. I didn’t want to spend as much and was thinking I only needed a 55-60” shaft. I definitely want an anchor or spot lock. What would be your recommendation?
Alumacraft rocks. Great review, I own one. See ya on Bellwood 😉
Omg. You are going to enjoy yourself
Thanks for watching! I had a great season 😊
YEP --- it’s got the lot. Anymore features you’ll sink. 👍👍
Nice video. You give a great presentation!
Thank you so much! 😊
Bit late but my dad got a new trophy 205 with the merc 300 normal I think and he can’t ever get ok plain it proposes when he raises trim to get on plan and the only time it doesn’t bounce is when the trim is all the way down which then your just plowing through the water any help?
Love those Yammy's!
🙌
Love my escape and it's allmost paid for.
That's great to hear!
Why no downriggers? Not deep water fishing?
I love this boat. Wish I could see and buy it 😉
It is for sale! Here is the link: www.advancedmarine.org/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=9555856&p=1&vc=fishing&s=Year&d=D&sq=Trophy%20205&fr=xAllInventory
@@SheLovesToFish How much room you have to negotiate 😅? 10%, ? I am a serious buyer.
@@peimanmalekmarzban4633 Contact me if you are serious 😊 www.shelovestofish.com/contact
Nice video i like that rig
Thank you! 😊
Awesome.
Thanks! 😊
How much

Just started following you and you definitely have some amazing boats! I'm just curious do you wax your own boat or have it done by someone else? The reason I ask is what kind of wax you use as I have still to find a wax that actually works!
Thank you for connecting! ☺️ Most recently I've used Hot Sauce which is made by Bling Sauce. Here is the link: blingsauce.com/pages/marine
Thank you I appreciate it 😊 hope you have an amazing fishing season! I'm looking forward to getting back on lake Erie and catch some walleye!
@@chestermiller2795 Thank you! Wishing you a great season ahead, also! ☺️🎣
@@SheLovesToFish you're welcome 🙂 and thank you! I have hot sauce on the way thank you for the link have a good day!
@@chestermiller2795 Woo woo! Happy cleaning!
How much for the boat with and without all of the options?
why would you get rid of it? that would go for years!
Off the wall sort of question: do my eyes deceive me, or is that motor bigger than you are? Either way that thing looks huge.
Does the boarding ladder still work with the power pole?
What steps are those?
Love u
How do you like your cable management brackets on your Ulterra ?? I’ve been looking at that set up to get
Is the boat still available? And will it fit in a 3 car garage??
Where does a 20ft almost flat bottom boat need a 300hp? 150 would be plenty for that one.
Really?
Very nice rig! I just ordered a 185 Competitor tiller with a 90HP Yamaha, very excited to get it! What boat are you going to run for 2021?
Congrats on your new rig! That's exciting 😊 I will be sharing the news about my next boat soon but I can't say yet 😉
Nice boat, Hopefully the people at advanced marine haven't worked on it
Do you buy these or sponsors?
I am having difficulty grasping this rig. I can't imagine the income required to purchase such a thing. Does it bring enough income to you to pay for itself? I am 70 years old and during my best earning years the price is 3 times my best years gross pay. This is kind of ridiculous.
It’s a boat. Boats are luxury expenses. Some people can afford them and some can’t. This is a killer boat and one I’d absolutely love to have. Certainly not ridiculous to some.
I know this has been awhile but I see that you are running a Power Pole and the standard ladder, they are attempting to rig Minn Kota Raptors on my Alumacraft Competitor 205 and are having a problem installing the Raptors without causing issues with the boarding ladder.
Are you running your Power Poles off of a jackplate? It's hard to tell from the video.
I think your best bet would be to remove the ladder and add something like this:
drewcraft.com/product/emergency-boat-ladder-with-mount-for-powerpole-or-raptor-3-step/
@@SheLovesToFish Thanks! I
I actually asked the dealership to remove the OEM ladder but they said that they can't do it for OSHA or something.
I did find the exact style you showed but a different brand.
Thanks for the help!
Did you ever get a replacement boat?
@@usmarine0352 No problem! I will be running a SeaArk Flex 21 this season and picking it up very soon ☺️
@@SheLovesToFish Well, good luck with that. That is a very different boat!
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
@@usmarine0352 Thank you! I am very excited ☺️
This is my dream boat i really love it, will you sale it.
This one sold 😊 But Advanced Marine would be happy to help you find the boat for you. Their website is www.advancedmarine.org
Can I come?! Pick me up in Thunder Bay lol
Haha, well there is lots of room on board! 😊
@@SheLovesToFish Perfect! I have two dogs lol. You don’t want me though...I still can’t touch fish 😆😂
PS. I do know some honey holes on my grandfathers old trapline though 😉
what shaft length did you go with on the tiller? Trying to pick between 20 and 25" on my 205 trophy
I had the 25".
I've looked on the Alumacraft site and can't find that top cover you have when on the floor. How did you find that? Did someone make it for you? I need one!!!
I would suggest reaching out to your local dealer.
I’ve always loved your choices for water crafts, do you think you might ever get a jet ski set up for fishing? It’s has it pro’s and con’s. You look ready for fall weather :) that’s a cool looking trench coat.!
Why, thank you! I don't have any jet ski plans but you never know 😉 As for the coat, thank you! It's over 10 years old I'm guessing. Bought it from Roots 😊
Wow :) for being over 10 years old that’s like a piece of art, that’s good quality I’ve never heard of Roots I’ll check it out sometime :) can’t wait for the up coming videos you stay safe and take care.
Wow!!! That set up is amazing!! Is it sold?
It is sold, but the folks at Advanced Marine would be happy to help get you into your dream boat 😊 Their website is www.advancedmarine.org
I just sold my nitro zv21. I’m looking now! Thank you for the link!
@@rippinlips8031 You are very welcome 😊
@@SheLovesToFish Also keep up the good content! Good luck this year! What is the new boat just out of curiosity?
@@rippinlips8031 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😊 I can't share the details yet but very soon. I can't wait!
That thing is amazing! How does the overall fit and finish look? The eagle is a bunk I believe, any reason why you choose that over a roller trailer? Can you mount down riggers on the track system?
Thank you! I am happy with the fit and finish! I have only ever had bunk trailers. From what I've heard they carry the weight more evenly and are better on the hull but again, I haven't owned rollers. At the rear of the boat there is room to install tracks which is where I would suggest putting downriggers rather than on the removable tracks I'm using.
@@SheLovesToFish,I've always run roller trailers, but it gets to be a pain on the reservoirs that we fish, steep ramps.is the ladder system an add on ? Any issues with the ulterra as far as deploying and stow?
The boarding ladder comes standard on the Trophy. I haven't had any complaints with bunks over the years. I usually trim up and power on. This is my second Ulterra (had one on my previous boat) and I haven't had issues.
@@SheLovesToFish you have now owned the Tpro and the Trophy, although not the same size ,could you give a brief breakdown of the comparison and likes / dislikes? I'm sorry for pestering you I just haven't decided which Alumacraft I'm getting soon, thanks for your time!!
@@mrwho2118 No problem! I ran the T-Pro 185 which is 2 feet shorter than the Trophy 205 I have now. The Trophy has more cockpit space and higher gunnels, but it is also a larger boat. The only thing I'm not crazy about on the Trophy is the smaller opening on the rear livewell, also the placement on the rod/storage lockers on the gunnels but I got around it with the Traxstech accessories. I love both boats though, so I can't offer much in the way of dislikes.
How much are you selling it for?
It sold right away when I posted the video last year 😊
The motor is taller than she is😂
Does it have that new boat smell?? XD
Yes! 😍
Motor bigger than little girl its huge
What’s up with that empty ring finger.
Your so beautiful!! Love a woman that loves to fish .
Where do I find a woman like this?!
New boat for sale????? duhhh.
110k for that boat? LOL..... that is not a Ranger 622. are you out of your mind?
It has an ON number so I'm guess it's Ontario Canada. Lets hope there's a difference in the rates (currency exchange)
