i hate looking at the pictures of you Florida guys. Nice looking background and knowing your water has giant bass. Illinois isnt as fun as Florida.

Stop hating and come on down, the water is warm and the bass are BIG!

I might be heading down next year. The wife used to work at Disney and wants to go back. Might pull the Ranger. Any suggestions?

This is my buddy's brand new Phoenix 920. To my knowledge this boat isn't even out on the market yet, but through his sponsorship with Phoenix he just received it. Talk about a fun rig to fish out of! We shot the video on Perry lake in Eastern Kansas. Top speed in this video was about 74.6 if the GPS was correct. It's powered by a Mercury Pro XS 250.

beautiful Nitro. I have always loved that red/ black on white. I always go to BPS site and go to the "build your own" nitro and experiment with colors. Its a lot of fun.

Ha, i have done that on the site many times as well! Even though many people bash Nitro i have always found them sexy & sleek. When i found this one at a great price i jumped on it.

i had my mind dead set on a nitro, then a used Ranger became available at a deal i couldnt pass up.

2002 Nitro NX 896 with 200 hp Merc XR6. Double axle trailer with brakes, swing away tongue and retracting transom straps. Just got it Sat in mint condition from original owner. Gave me all original paper work from BPS where he got it!

Nothing like picking up a nice used boat in great shape! Nice boat Dink!

Just got a new (to me) Nitro 180 FS! So far I love her, just need new electronics.

My "bass boat" has been parked in the garage for three years. I've been fishing out of my Trident ever since. I can't cover the entire lake like the other bass rockets, but man, the places I can go that they can't. I love my kayak and I doubt I ever go back to my "bass boat." YAK ON!

Thats a bad boat!!!!! I want one SOOOOOOO bad, maybe in a few years.

how about a pic with the cover off from that angle

Enjoying all the boats. Plenty verstility in these posts.

My first boat and entry into bass fishing. Me and my wife love it.

1994 Ranger R70 Sport.

My 2005 champion 187 With a 150 efi

My first bass boat, 1979 Terry, I redid this entire boat including transom and decks, then sold it. It got a lot of wows on the water for being 14'

I went about 4 years without a boat, I was into motorcycles

Now I have a 1992 17' Tracker, no full on shots, but my boy loves it

I haven't posted on here for a while! Here is my 2000 Ranger 522DVX with a 225 Merc pushing her along the waves. It is a wonderful boat that will last me a long time! It has all the bells and whistles, but I've learned a lot of the time I'm the reason I'm not catching fish!!!

Awesome picture!

Thanks, hes a maniac. He was just over 12 months when that pic was taken. Hoping to get him to reel one in this summer. This is going to be his first christmas where he knows whats going on.

 

 

Here is my kayak, Emotion Mojo Angler. 

 

I do not know anyone that owns one, they are not your popular angler like wilderness and hobie are. This was a gift from my wife, so I can't complain at all, personally my dream is a Jackson Coosa, but this is wonderful for a first kayak.

 

Upgrades: 

 

PriahnaMax 190c

Transducer arm on the bow.

Ram mounts for both

Anchor Trolley

Surf to SUmmit hot seat

Have a nice PDF

Basic paddle

good cart for transport.

 

Future Plans:

 

Silent traction system is being shipped as I type this.

Also going to drill a hole in front of the console where the wall is between the cabin and the bow hatch and run a clear tube for the electronics along where the console is.

Want to get a GoPro and mount for it

Want to get a good flag or other means of making myself seen better.

 

Overall I like the kayak a lot, I can side saddle very easy, have not tried standing up yet (only been out twice before winter) but the kayak is very very stable, I tried to topple her over but ended up sliding out. She isnt the fastest but good speed anyone, tracks very well and is easy to turn. I like that the center console is removable so if I find something to replace it I will not have a hard time to do that. Also the console has a lot of room under it to run wires to keep things out of the way.

 

I am 5'9" and 180 and have no problems at all fitting inside, reaching anywhere or getting what I need.

 

 

My only real complaint is that there is no hatch in the cabin or in the stern area. However I plan on adding two 6 inch hatches w/ bags in the future. I only would ever use 3 rods at once so there us more than enough storage for rods and gear.

Figured I would show mine off too. She's an oldie but a great boat. And still looks fairly new!

Great picture, every time i see a rod bowed like that i picture the tip snapping lol

I wish that rod would snap... its an ugly stick. Its likely getting replaced this year as well as the rod holder flipped around the right way. I only got to use this boat maybe 4 times last year cause I got it so late.
