    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

:jaw-drop:Dang that boat looks like its doing 70MPH just sitting there!

If you went 83 with me in a tourn as nonboater you'd have some seat cleaning to do.

Looks good. I really like those Ally buckets in the Bullet boats. If I would have kept my last 21 XD that is what I was going to do to it. Also nice when you hook one .. it keeps you in place ..

I like the looks of them but they are far from being as comfortable as the original high-backs. No where near as much padding---You're limited as to how much you can have because of the way the cover fits the shell. As to hooking--This is my third 20 footer and this is the only one that has done it. Had my 300 pound partner literally in my lap and it did it at only 45 MPH. Can't imagine doing it at 90 plus as a friend of mine did in his Allison.

Bullets are light-weight hulls that owners setup and expect to run. Setup to fish they are heavy so a high pitched 3-blade prop has a hard time getting the boat on plane. A 4-blade prop will lift the bow and stern allowing for a better hole shot and top speed. Not all 4-blade props are designed to run at high transom heights. Very few Bullet/Allison owners run a 3-blade for these reasons. Some super light Allison's and a few light-weight Bullets set up to run for top speed can and will run a 3-blade but you can bet they are surfacing/sub-surfacing 3-blades for racing applications. You can't tell from the pictures but my boat will barely get on plane without the Allison Hole-Shot Plate that is installed.

Many will say a boat that needs a planer board is not set up correctly. They have never set up a light weight boat loaded down to fish!

Picked this up a few weeks ago. 

2010 TR-18 Pro

- Elite 7 at bow

- Elite 5 in console

I also have a hook 7. I'll either replace the 5 or keep the 5 and add the hook 7 off to the right.

My latest toy, a 96 ProCraft 185 Dual Pro. Purchased from original owner in mint condition, hardly ever used. I've already redone the decals and added a keel shield, recessed trolling tray, Lowrance hook 9, boat buckles and rod buckles. I'm also installing dual power poles as soon as we get power back here in S FL. Thanks a lot Irma!

And my first fish caught out of it.

And the fish did trembled in fear, knowing that the small lakes and streams hidden deep in the forest were no longer safe.

Yes little fishies, be afraid, be very afraid.

Well, we finally got power back and I finished my power pole install. After trying many possibilities, I had to lose half of a dry storage box to mount the pumps. Went ahead and added a master cut off safety switch too.

Are they going to fit out of the garage now?  :o

Lol, not in the up position they won't. You have to lower them about half way down to get out.

My new Lund. Very happy with it. Mercury 115 Pro XS Fourstroke and a fortrex 80 that move it along great. A couple HDS units coming next and a shallow water anchor. I haven't decided on talon or blade yet, any suggestions?
