I had a boat like that for ten years. Great on fuel. I put a fish on tower with rocket launcher rod holders and net holder. That gets all your rods out of the way. Fish on products are well built and is in your backyard. Enjoy your new boat!!!
thank you James, the phone mount is for any car. it works great. the mount for the fish finder was supplied by my dealer. i will see if i can get the name for you!
Awesome. I’m looking at boats like this too, sea ark and roughnecks, was thinking custom built hulls too… Love the idea of .193 bottom .125 sides all aluminum. Good to see the weight/draft is still acceptable. One of the crazy things you kinda don’t know in till you bought it and fished it how it’s gonna run. I wasn’t really aware of these being available nearby, now recognize I’ve seen em on Alaska type shows all the time. River and big lakes boat looks like good compromise to spend on…
I wasn’t aware of this boat being available here in Michigan either. Really just fell into it by chance. There was a lot of intangibles I just wouldn’t know until I drove it. Super surprised by the shallow water capability which was a big concern for me. But the most impressive part was the ability to take big water. It was incredibly comfortable in big waves. The reverse chimes do their job and shoot the water right out the sides and cut through waves.
Ok, I’ve been looking for these seats forever! Would you know what they’re called? Aluminum boats all come with one style seat, it’s usually the fold type seat with various type bottoms, some regular pole, some are fancy air or hydraulic ride. But never seen anyone with these seats, which usually come on fancy fiberglass boats. I need these.
One more question: what’s the red thing on the engine holding up the motor to the motor mount to take stress off the hydraulic lift ram?? I’ve never seen that before! I have and use a regular transom saver, but I want what you’re running, what’s that called and where can I find it?
In a cross wind with those aluminum guides sticking out of trailer We'll put a nice Dent in the side of that boat. Just be careful it's going to get expensive.
Hey man!! That’s an awesome looking boat you got! Love all your videos man. When will you be fishing for king chinooks on Lake Michigan with that boat?? That would be a sick video to film!!
I’d take a hard look at the Ultrex; easy to deploy and stow, plus all the electronic features we know and love. I’ve had nightmares with 3 different Ulterra’s over 5 years (ran Detroit River charters).
I just bought one as well and so far it exceeds all expectations! Went with Yamaha 150 for power and no shortage of smiles.
it really is a great all around boat!
That’s a beautiful boat. Nice set up you have there. Thanks for the walk around
Nice boat! I have an 1825 Falcon up in BC Canada here and absolutely love it for big lake fishing.

I’ll have to check that out! Fish on products. Thank you for sharing your comments!
Nice! I have the same boat. What mount are you using for the Garmin Fish Finder? And what's the phone mount? Thanks!

i will see if can locate the name of the seats. i purchased them on amazon. i like them alot. very comfortable.

thank you for asking. this came from the marina when i purchased the boat. i will see if i can locate the name of the product for you!
What a beast!! Ask and shall receive..great vid as always!! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous 😂! Congrats on the new rig it’s awesome!
Thanks Mike! You did ask for a video. Hope this is what you’re looking for!

You have a good point. I had in in some strong currents launching yesterday and the bunks seem to line the boat up well before touching side arms.

Thank you! If I don’t make a run up a north then it’ll be next spring before I chase those chrome giants again.
Great boat👍
Thank you joe!
You pimped your boat pretty sleek. I love it. How is the Merc on fuel ?
It does really well. The boat is big but fairly light. 38 gallon tank as well.
Love the boat. I live in Florida and all the boats are open cockpit center console that I don’t like, why are the open cockpit boats so popular?
Thank you for your comment Sidney. I’m not a fan of center console either personally. I prefer to have fishing space.
I think they do lots of fishing that require a walk around deck.
Very nice rig. What trolling motor have you chosen to mount on the bow?
I’m considering installing an ulterra. I’m trying to find a good marina
I’d take a hard look at the Ultrex; easy to deploy and stow, plus all the electronic features we know and love. I’ve had nightmares with 3 different Ulterra’s over 5 years (ran Detroit River charters).
BadAss!!!
Right on!! Thank you. Very blessed to own this
What the plate on the right hand side at the back of transom for?
Are you referring to the swim deck? That’s for entering and exiting the boat. It has an attached extendable ladder as well
@@fishingmichiana that’s so awesome!!! Thank you!
