Love the boat! Glad to see a local boy on UA-cam!
Thanks, brother! I appreciate you watching the video. This is one of the best rigs I have ever owned! You can do everything out of this boat.
Thanks for the video! It helped me with my decision. I hope to have mine in August. Good luck fishing!
I'm glad the video helped you make a decision! Thanks for watching!
Nice boat can't wait to ride!!
Amazing boat man. Beatiful. Some day I will buy something like that. Best.
Thanks man! It's an awesome rig and I'm grateful to have it !
I’ve got the same boat. It’s a crappie fishing beast. I love it after running it hard for 3 years. Only thing I’d change is back layout is not really good for long lining or trolling. Perfect up front though. Tough boat and built well.
I haven't done much trolling in this rig. When I troll its usuall for stripers. I just put 2 rods and run deep diving crank baits. I haven't done much crappie fishing, but I have some friends that do well on Santee, but they're using live scope, too.
Nice rig man! Thanks for sharing.
Nice boat great video!
Can't find a price. Ball park figure, if you don't mind.
Only thing I don't like about center council is it's not flush with the side seats, it would be nice to lay across the three seats for a nap
A Good Looking Setup 😎
Thanks, I love this rig.
@@MColtOutdoors Go and have fun😎
more detail and longer video with some camping and fishing i like the boat
Nice boat
Got a boat similar to that but have the Mercury 150 but my leaning post is a live well.
I have the same boat and love it...having a heck of a time getting the transducer to pick up at speeds over 25mph. can you please post a picture of your transducer setup and any tips would be appreciated.
Honestly, I haven't messed with the depth finder that much but I can show you where the transducer is mounted. I'll get you a pic tomorrow
👍👍
How you liking the boat setup? Any changes or upgrades to recommend? Great vid 👍🏻
Thanks, I'm still loving the rig! Plenty of room and great on gas. The only upgrade I would eventually like to get is the Min Kota raptors for shallow water anchors for Bed fishing for bass.
Good review of boat. I have a War Eagle 860. How do you like the Terrova for bass fishing? I will be getting a new trolling motor soon and can’t decide between the Terrova or Ultrex.
Thanks. I love it. It took a while to get used to the electronic foot control. I'm used to the cable tension old styles. Spot lock is a game changer!!!
@@MColtOutdoors Thanks for the reply. I think there is a Terrova in my future.
Sweet rig man! You get on the crappie up there much?
Thanks man , I'm blessed to finally get a rig like this. I've never really targeted crappie , but some friends of mine do really good with them on Santee.
Very nice !
How does the frontier doing towing it? Was that a 5' or 6' bed?
Thanks! I have a titan so no problem towing, 5' bed
Great video! Any issues mounting the quick release plate for the terrova with the under mount lights?
The dealership mounted the quick connect but I don't think they had any problems. They've put the same set up on a lot of 961s from what they told me. I haven't seen any issues with it!
@@MColtOutdoors sounds good, thanks for the quick reply! I’ve got the same boat and am installing the terrova tomorrow
Where did you put your trolling motor batteries? I’m guessing that Terrova is a 24-volt?
Yes it is a 24 volt. All of thr batteries are in the rear hatch by the motor. 1 cranking battery and 2 deep cycles for the trolling motor.
Did you get Little Harvey to rig your raw water washdown? Where is the pump located?
Yes, they installed it for me. Pump is in the center console right by the hose connector
How much was it as is?
Nice boat ive been looking at boats and have decided on that model. Hows the ride on rough water.?
Honestly, I havent been in rough water yet. I think it should be fine. This is a great do it all boat though!
@@MColtOutdoors thank you for reply back...i had a sea ark super John but it was not simi v hull it was rough lol..think this will be my new boat to do like it..thanks again...hey new subscriber here!! Good luck fishing be safe
Thanks for the sub I really appreciate it! I have a bay boat and sold it. I know it was a drier ride in rough water because it had a flare on the front ,instead of the sharp V front I have with the war eagle. So far I love this boat !!
Do you remember how high that Bimini is? The one I have is 48" tall and it's just too small.
I don't know what size it was because the boat dealer ordered and installed the bimini for me. I didn't get the paperwork for the bimini top. Sorry.
Hey man I’m considering this same boat. I primarily bass/pan/catfish and I’m wondering how you have liked or disliked the lack of under deck rod storage? It’s the primary thing keeping me from pulling the trigger 🤔
I hate it. Lol. Really, the only problem I've had with this boat is rod storage. They have rod holders in the console and on the leaning post, but I fish mostly in cypress trees and I can't use them. The rods will stay in the trees. I bought this boat as a "do it all" boat as far as hunting and fishing, so I have some give and take mentality. Rod storage is definitely an issue for me. If I were primarily fishing, I would have to get a boat with better rod storage. That's just my opinion, I don't like my rods getting beat up in the bottom of the boat.
@@MColtOutdoors that is so helpful man thank you!
Thanks for the rod opinion. I need lockable storage with carpet myself. I wonder if War Eagle would customize a rod locker on one side . Thanks for the video.
I'm looking at same boat not sure about side console are center how you like the center one
@@TJ-hd5ym I love the center console. I think the side consoles may be rated for a bigger motor, at least that is what I was told.
Just purchased this boat. Curious what prop you are running.
I honestly don't remember. I store the boat in a different location, or I would go snap a picture of it for you. I may have put the prop info in another comment in this video. The dealer chose the prop from previous boats he had sold. He knew the correct prop for the rig.
Thanks for your reply. The boat is 6500 rpm wide open and running 47mph. About the same speed as yours. But it looked like you were at 6000rpm.
My dad is getting a wareagle boat
How is taking the boat on and off the trailer with the duck bill?..and how do you like the led lights in the front also?
This boat is extremely easy to launch/ load by myself. I really don't use the leds much. I don't really see much help when I'm running. I mostly use them for putting out duck decoys and bass fishing at night.
I appreciate it. I’m waiting on mine to come in next month. I think I’m gonna go with same trolling motor you have. How you like it so far?
I love the trolling motor, and I use the spot lock anchor feature all of the time.
How much room do you have with the 60” beam? I can’t decide if I want a 2072 SeaArk FX or the War Eagle 961 Blackhawk
I haven't measured it, but I have plenty with the 961. I'm not famliair with the SeaArk though. I usually don't put a seat on the front deck when bass fishing and i have a lot of space up front for casting and flipping.
How much clearance does the transom have when that boat sits in the water?
Do you mean form the water surface to the top of the transom?
Thinking about getting one. How shallow will it go?
I haven't had it in anything shallower than 2 feet. It doesn't draft a lot though.
What is with the depth spiking? I think it read 741 ft deep at one point.
I haven't messed with the CHIRP feature on the helix 7 yet but every depth finder I've ever had would jump up like that at full speed. I think the chirp allows you to run about 20mph and still read fish marks and accurate depth but I haven't really researched it. . I may have to get a different transducer though. Again, I'm really not sure because it is a feature I wouldn't use much. I just like to know the depth I'm in while fishing.
What pitch prop do you have?
It a yamaha dt-13218 , turbo 3 blade
What length shaft is the trolling motor
It's a 60 inch shaft.
did i miss the dimensions of the boat??? length and width???
Length is 19'5" and the beam is 7'5" , plenty of room for fishing and hunting.
@@MColtOutdoors Thanks for the info, beautiful boat...
What bimini top did you buy? Can you post a link?
Honestly I just told the dealer what that I wanted and he picked the brand and height. I will check my paper work tomorrow and try to find the brand and model for you.
@@MColtOutdoors did you ever find out what brand the bimini top is?
No, sorry, I didn't have any paperwork on it.
Put a packs
Dealer please.
McLean Marine in Sumter, SC can give you a price quote. That is where I purchased this boat.
Ok I worked here, DO NOT BUY ANY BOAT FROM WAR EAGLE if you want a quality boat, if you want proof of shitty craftsmanship simply tear your decking out and check out your weld seems because holy shit I saw some nasty stuff get hidden, half the shop does dope on break and I can't say I blame them considering as a SKILLED TRADESMAN they will only offer to pay you as much as mcdonald's would so no one really gives a f@$k that is putting your boat together, if you want REAL QAULTITY go check out a HAVOC OR SEARK boat made in the same area of arkansas but they actually pay their workers and don't skate shit past qaultity control just to meet qouta, YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE
LOVE
