- Here it is! My new rig! I could not be happier with this set-up. The Alumacraft Competitior 185 with a 90 BF-Honda is the PERFECT size boat for what I do. Can't wait to log some serious hours in this boat. TILLERLIFE!!! and I hope you like a little bit of largemouth bass froggin' as well!

These are sweet boats. I'm running a yamaha 90 on mine, with an 80 lb terrova. Works good!
Something to be said about the space and stability with 5 people jigging walleye at the same time.
Yup! Love how many people can fit in the tiller
My dad and I have been running a honda 4 stroke (not a tiller) for the last 13 years. We got it in 07. We have never had a problem with it.
I have 2018 competitor tiller. Works great on Superior with downriggers. Lake if the Woods was the only time it sucked. Constant 20-25 mph winds for 3 days. ONLY time I wished I had a wheel boat. Tight lines!
Picking up my 2023 185 Comp Tiller Shadow Series next week! Thanks for the great walkthrough, very helpful.
I'm restoring a 1984 Lunker 16 SS ,Can't wait to be on the water again !
Great boat, same boat I bought late last fall. Big wide open stable boat with small gunnels so your not wasting all that room. Last time I fished there were 2 of us in fairly heavy waves were both around 250 lbs and boat was so stable both drifting and driving the boat you’d think it was a fiberglass boat. I put on a Yamaha 90 SHO and 24volt I pilot Ulterra and helix 10. My only complaint was my first time out had 2 cup holders blow lose. Alumacraft should have those glued in. Dealer took care of it right away. Some say you need power steering I thought that wasn’t a problem at all so I’m glad I didn’t spend that extra $.
How did you find it in the big waves ? Did you get super wet?? I'm looking at the same boat, and I'm coming from a 16 deep and wide side console
@@joelmarier96 seems to handle big water pretty well and it’s pretty dry as well. Big wide open boat. I really like it compared to my friends big gunnels so much more room. Also I didn’t get the power steering and I’m glad I didn’t. Easy to steer.
throwing shots at Aaron Wiebe lol. sweet set up man
Lol
Aaron will always be the GOAT
Jay Siemens yeah he is good stuff for sure
I like openness of a tiller boat. But I also love the horsepower you can put on a console boat. So many hard decisions! LOL
that is the greatest debate in all of fishing!
Decisions decisions
Get a tiller over 20ft and you can get a 250 hp tiller
And to add insult to injury (loss?) 6:13 That bass tail-slapped/splashed you! I hate losing 'em like that, but at least you got to see it! Great Intern tho!
Hahah he got it bad
Your boat is sick...you have a blessed life my friend.
I sure do. Grateful for it everyday!
Ordered my 2021 185 Competitor Tiller. Thanks for the nice walkthrough Jay!
Mike pavlak did you receive your boat yet? And how do you like it?
@@eddietrevino I did. I do like it.
Contact tiller assist. Best tiller investment ever.
Looks interesting!
Turn them lights on by your picks to attract bait fish. We use lights off our boats. Makes croppie fishing way better.
Pucks*
Great Video. Best Wishes Zach!
Man I love tiller boats
Me too!
i restored a 1953 larson commodore, with wood gunnels and splash rails. It looks amazing
XcaliberWolf That’s sweet! I just refinished a home build wooden boat from 1952.
@@taliesinangling3564 Thats amazing! i love fishing and boats so much that at the now age of 16 i decided to go out and buy a boat to restore and i couldnt be happier with the outcome.
XcaliberWolf That’s awesome
Sounds amazing!
Awesome setup buddy! Love it!
Thanks!!!
Sweet rig Jay! Enjoyed the video !
Thanks Darren!
Wonderful
Thanks!
Sweet video and what an awesome boat and setup!!! You deserve it jay!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Very cool setup Jay!
😘
Bass boats just ain't as practical here up north. You're right Jay. It really is all you need.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Nice Rig, Alumacraft's are nice boat's. The only thing I dislike is the white graphics on the side of that model. White shows "War Wounds" so bad and water stain's that are hard to clean off if your not diligent about washing/wiping your boat. The color Black also highlight's markings also.
I find the white actually looks very clean as long as you aren’t inches away from it. As far as scratching...just keeps me more careful!
Very nice boat man. I can't wait to get back up Kenora again.
Thanks derick!
I'm a 14 year old content creator that's loves film making I have learned so much by watching your videos thank you so much 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Btw you are the best
Btw the b roll. On my channel is bad my other channel I put a lot more effort into
And which camera would you recommend
Sony a6400?
A7iii?
@@mboutdoors4366 On a budget get the a6600 but if you can afford the a7iii it's very worth it.
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL ok thanks I was looking into the a6400 or the Fuji XT 30
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL I'll look into the a7iii though
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL what size of lens would you recommend?
Omg!! Beautiful boat Jay.
Thanks Steve!
JAY........WE NEED TUTORIALS FROM YOU
Coming!
dream boat right there!!
🙏
Plenty of room in the boat huh i wonder who you could take fishing😂🤔 lol love the set up
😂
Great video man! Such a nice boat!
Thanks man!
Eventually I will own an alumacraft... someday...after student loans and a house 😂
Hahah, what’s a little debt!
What a sweet set-up! Great video! You just got yourself another subscriber. I'm having thoughts of moving on from my Tracker Proteam 175 to a Deep V after getting tossed around in some dicey wave action the other day. And the room you sacrifice by having a steering console vs. tiller is incredible.
Yeah definitely! Thanks for subscribing!!
Nice rig, Jay.
Thanks!
Where did you stuff the 3rd battery for the 36v Ultrex?
I have the same question! Can’t find any info on how to do that! Have a 2022 competitor 185 sport and no good place to put 3rd battery for 36volt trolling motor
@@nathanwemett4445 I found a good way of doing it without sacrificing space in a nearby compartment. Small removal of foam in front of factory battery area. Just remove the battery lid, then drill out the rivets holding the next forward floor piece. I just took a drill with a 1.5” paddle bit and a shop vac to eat up the foam. A sawzall was a bit much. Careful to not go through hull. Dropped in a new battery box, no lid. Had to shim up the floor board about 1-1.5” for battery top clearance and reinstall with removable screws. The removable battery lid still sits well (at an angle though) and doesn’t sacrifice any usable rod storage. The top of the floor board is closer to the bottom of the bottom rod storage tubes though. Love having (3) 29group batteries with the 36v ultrex. Going on year two with the setup and no issues.
Sweet boat! Great video!
Thanks Thor!
Sweet boat, can anyone tell me the exact overall length with motor and swing tongue trailer? I am hoping to fit one in my garage.
Hook sets on the drone 🤤
❤️❤️
Awesome video!
Thanks Sevien!
Jay what is the total cost of your rig the way it sits? It's a fantastic setup.
been looking at boats! damn you have a nice rig!
Now that you have the live scope and other electronics, what brand and size batteries do you use? Do you have your electronics hooked up to the same battery as you motor (cranking battery) or do you have a separate battery for all your electronics? If separate, how do you charge that battery? Thanks
Jay,
Wondering if you could help me with trolling motor shaft length, on your video it looks like you are using a 60" Ultrex with lots of shaft to spare, do you think a 52" would do for this boat. Your opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
Can’t get enough of your videos 👍
Thanks Scott!
Sweet ⛵
🙏
4:03 is that the one we wired to the van battery in Iceland?? haha
Haha, yuuuuuup!
hi, is it possible to put a 9.9 kicker on a boat like that also for trolling?
Jay!! Super cool and happy for you!
I want a Thrive Internship if possible??
I’m looking for another intern!
Question for you, does the storage compartments stay dry or do you need to take things out to dry?
Nice setup.
Great video super nice setup just found your channel 👍
Thanks!!!
Would you recommend it for big water? Iv checked them out and they look like a allot of boat for the money
Nice Boooat!
Sweet rig Jay! #goals
Thanks Andre!
How’s it handle wind? Do you get blown around like an empty pop can?
What shaft length is your trolling motor?
Nice love the videos man
Thanks brad!
Nice rig! I live on big sand lake in Minaki come up and fish!!
Nice! Minaki is a great place
So sick. Loaded to the teeth
Yeeeeeeee
How did you fasten the compartment that folds in where the graphs generally go in?
Bolted it to the console
Your setup is a beaut! Do you wish they rated it for a 115 max HP?
Would be nice! But the 90 is pretty perfect for trolling and better on gas.
nice, i fked up and bought a 16.8 tracker sc deep v with a 9.9. I dont think i can put a larger motor with my 9.9 as a kicker. there isnt room for more than 2 people casting. it leans over way too much depending on what side i am on. Now im stuck with this 17k turd waste of money........
That’s too bad!
Can you give me an honest comparison between an 185 alumicraft and a 185 pro v Lund w 200hp . Price also please
Do u need so many fish finders.
Nope
I am an old guy and disabled so I can no longer fish, so take this for what you think it's worth. We didn't have fish finders when I started fishing, then flashers took the guess work out of figuring out your depth and if there were fish under the boat. Down imaging gives you a view of 6-7 feet of the bottom in 20 feet of water? If you're trying to make a living off of fishing the ability to see what is a 100 feet plus to either side or in front of you is a decided advantage? Better electronics will probably help you put more fish in the boat than a bigger faster boat?
the bottom, side or 360 imaging that allows you to see a 100 plus feet off to the side or forward is a decided advantage?
I thought Alumacraft went full Evinrude when they partnered(or whatever you want to all it) how did you get a Honda?
He bought the boat unrigged and took it to Westside Honda/Polaris of Selkirk MB and got a Honda rigged on it
I had to pick up the boat from an alumacraft dealership and bring it to a Honda dealer, was no issue at all!
#1 Alumacraft dealer in the world puts mostly Yamaha on their rigs.
Alumacraft pushes the Envinrude but I wouldn’t have gotten an alumacraft if I had to get an envinrude. Many dealers will offer options I put a Yamaha on mine. Northstar in Albert Lea MN offers both Lund and Alumacraft and you can put on most any motor or electronics you want.
Hi
Hi
👊
😘
Sweet! When are you going to invite me on? ;)
🤷🏼♂️
I really wanted to follow this guy. But, just the way you reel the fish in. No good.
Everything is cool except the carpet! Carpet has no place in a fishing boat.
Carpet is nice for boat naps.
@@JaySiemens lol i guess, if napn spot is something yer lookin for lol
