These are my rides, Wavewalk W500 and 2 W300. I sold the green W300 with the trolling motor with foot

controlled steering the get another W500 so I could add an outboard and get rid of the batteries and

be able to fish for as long as I want without running out of battery power, which lasted 6 hours with two wheel chair batteries placed down inside the hulls.

 

Stable, fast, and add a Motor for long trips and rivers, yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa!

 

I've been in a lot of conditions, caught in storms, and these babies roll with the punches.

 

I've Caught LMB, SMB, Stripers, Pike......next up Carp, the submarines of the fresh water.

Can't wait to go for that ride, the Stripers towed me all over the place toooo, it was Awesome!

    Got my first boat (not counting old jon boat). '18 Crestliner VT 17. Lots to learn, for sure.     

  • I finally have my first "real" bass boat.  Up til now I've been fishing off just about that anything that floats besides a bass boat.  Kayaks, coleman crawdad, a 25foot cobalt, but never had a bass bo

  • Just picked up my new 2021 Phoenix 920 Elite last week, already had it out and its a huge upgrade over my old tracker.

No big lakes around here so sold the bass boat and built this. Motor start/stop, forward /reverse and left/right are pedal controled so hands are free to fish, take pics ect. Too old to cary 60 lbs very far so made a cart to haul it to/fro the water. 4.8 mph flat out so no nose bleeds, lost glasses or hats here. Absolutely quiet and seat is comfy. Lots of handy dry storage. 10 footer fits in P/U so no trailer needed. Battery charge runs the boat all day, but carry paddle for insurance

Picked up my 2015 Triton 189TRX last week.

So much rain and flooding locally that I am having trouble even breaking it in.

I don't use emoticons, but if I did, this would call for the 'drooling' face.

Edit: Apologies for bringing up the way-back machine.

my new 2015 Triton 189TRX w/ 150 Mercury Pro xs

Can't get much water time in to break it in with the weather

I fish from a 2008 G3 Eagle 170 coupled with a Yamaha 90hp 2-stroke.

I've had it for almost 2 years and I love it. Its lightweight but it handles well and the 90hp pushes it just fine and gets pretty good fuel economy.

Here's my 1998 Alumacraft Lunker V16 LTD with a 2014 Yamaha F25 25hp four stroke. Also, it has the original 35lb thrust MinnKota on it which puts it along just fine. I inherited this boat last year from my grandfather who only ever had a trolling motor on it because the lakes we used to fish didn't allow gas motors. This boat is great! I got a Lowrance HDI 7 on it which performs great and according to that and gps on my phone, I can achieve 26mph with just me and a full of tackle.

I took it out for the first time and my first time on a boat, it was a learning experience.

This is my water ride these days. The outrigger I made for it allows me to stand with absolute confidence and cast all day. I installed an anchor system that keeps me planted. 

I mounted a couple Ram mounts for my 5xHDI and iphone with map app. I run with two batteries so I'm good for a full day without worry and they balance weight distribution.. Rod holder is attached to the trolling motor mount. Top speed with the endura Max 55 is 4 mph.

I have an almost identical setup- C2 Endura 55lb with a custom mount on a 14.5 ft canoe- minus the outrigger and the extra battery which I plan to get soon.

If you want a bit extra speed check out Kipawa aftermarket props. http://www.kipawapropellers.com/propellers.htmlStock MK trolling motor props are built with a shallow angle for slowly shifting around full size boats at <1mph not cruising small boats at >4mph at which point they start to drag more than they propel.

So you're recommending the aftermarket kip prop?

This is my boat, 1999 Tracker  Pro Angler Deep V16, Come with a 40hp Mercury Force and a 9.8B Nissan. When I first got it in January it came with the Tracker vinyl stickers and trim but over 15 years of deck rub and wear I  made some changes; removed the vinyl, wet sanded the paint, buffed and polished,  rhino lined the rail, made my own rub rail. This winter Im going to re due the deck, carpet (going Charcoal gray) , add storage, deck LED lights and hopefully next year re-power to a Nissan or Evenrude 60-70hp

Looks clean for a 25yo boat

Took her out for the first time this morning.  Drove well.  I have never had an outboard before so I do not know quite what to expect.  GPS had her at 35 MPH with 2 adults.  Never really sure what to expect, but seems to be fast enough for what I need it for.
