Seems like a really nice Bay Boat! Love the dual livewells. I am from Ohio and fish mostly inland lakes, but Erie can get nasty in a hurry. A bay boat gives me a similar feel and fishability of a bass boat, with the added security of the offshore build
This add has been over a year ago. I really like this song. I have searched the best that I know and can not find it.I really dig this song and would like to put it in my play list so I can play it when I launch my new boat. Hopefully ahead of schedule.
Brett Graves glad you like it. It was actually my band from when I was a bit younger. Email me, I will send you some songs. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com ua-cam.com/video/9JJBD5Sou9Y/v-deo.html
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS exactly what I wanted to see I live in England but I'm planning to move back home to Turkey by the agean it's like the best part of the Mediterranean beautiful waters to fish and looking for the perfect centre console. Thank you for the great content.
That’s a good question. There are many debates on that. If you’re towing local and not in the mountains I believe a 1500 will be fine. I have towed this boat with an Escalade and a 1500 before. They both had to down shift a lot on inclines (which will destroy a transmission if done too often), but other than that they towed ok. The trailer has brakes so they stopped fine. If you’re towing 100 times a year or more and making long trips I would get a 3/4 ton diesel. If you’re only towing 30 times a year and only 15-20 miles each way you can get by with a 1500 I believe.
Great looking boat. Hey Sea Pro, take a look at the way Robalo has the larger beam which allows you to walk around the boat to get to the back and hey Robalo, take a look that those pressurized live wells. woot woot Let's work together
Rodney Pratt thanks brother!! I honestly don’t know what this one would be, I would recommend checking the Legacy Marine Dealership in Stuart Florida. They have more new Sea Pros in stock than any other dealer I have seen. They have lots of models rigged all kinds of ways. Thanks for the comment brother!!!
I am sponsored by Sea Pro. I did not pay for the boat, motor, or trailer I am in now. My sponsorship started around 18 months ago. Before that I had a 2004 Sea Pro that I DID pay for myself. I planned on running that boat till the day I died. Lucky for me, Sea Pro was started back up by an original owner and they wanted to work with me. I love everything about Sea Pro. The people are awesome!
im very impressed with boat,,,,,,,but front deck is a little small at least in pics,,,,,,would like to see it bigger like the yellow fin 24, but love the front livewell, just makes it easy to drop bait in
james curtis I think it's just the pics. The front deck seems enormous to me. You can see it better in this pic. Keep in mind that that is a 16" Simrad display up at the bow. ua-cam.com/video/Q1g18tMmwpE/v-deo.html
Is the front live well in the way when you throw a net? seems like I would be right under my feet when i threw a cast net. Also, I've seen your videos that you catch and use live bait. How do these built in tanks compare to a Super Bait Tank when trying to catch and keep live fresh water shad like threads, gizzards, and alewives?
Clete Barton the deck is really quite a bit bigger than it looks. The live well lid has friction also has hinges so the lid doesn't flap. I close it when I throw the net, kick it open and dump right in. Compared to a bait tank they are just as good when the water is cool enough. Saltwater baits stay alive all year. Freshwater baits like Shad do great except for summer when water is over 75 degrees. You can use a bubbler in summertime and ice down the water. They are both insulated.
I might buy one of these boats. With all the storage, I can do my trip to South America to pick up some friends.

Mark KIDCOCHIESE Garry a little old school humor. That's how I know how far people got while watching the video😉.
Do you need a 2500 to pull this boat?

Eric Baum yep. They had the very first 2 248's built. We were testing them out before they went off to the dealers.
Mike Smedley congratulations on your new boat I can't wait to catch my 50lb striper on it maybe a 60lber ? LoL Always like your videos Mike 🤘
