Great boat, same boat I bought late last fall. Big wide open stable boat with small gunnels so your not wasting all that room. Last time I fished there were 2 of us in fairly heavy waves were both around 250 lbs and boat was so stable both drifting and driving the boat youd think it was a fiberglass boat. I put on a Yamaha 90 SHO and 24volt I pilot Ulterra and helix 10. My only complaint was my first time out had 2 cup holders blow lose. Alumacraft should have those glued in. Dealer took care of it right away. Some say you need power steering I thought that wasnt a problem at all so Im glad I didnt spend that extra $.

Now that you have the live scope and other electronics, what brand and size batteries do you use? Do you have your electronics hooked up to the same battery as you motor (cranking battery) or do you have a separate battery for all your electronics? If separate, how do you charge that battery? Thanks

Nice Rig, Alumacraft's are nice boat's. The only thing I dislike is the white graphics on the side of that model. White shows War Wounds so bad and water stain's that are hard to clean off if your not diligent about washing/wiping your boat. The color Black also highlight's markings also.

nice, i fked up and bought a 16. 8 tracker sc deep v with a 9. 9. I dont think i can put a larger motor with my 9. 9 as a kicker. there isnt room for more than 2 people casting. it leans over way too much depending on what side i am on. Now im stuck with this 17k turd waste of money.

Jay,
Wondering if you could help me with trolling motor shaft length, on your video it looks like you are using a 60 Ultrex with lots of shaft to spare, do you think a 52 would do for this boat. Your opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

I have 2018 competitor tiller. Works great on Superior with downriggers. Lake if the Woods was the only time it sucked. Constant 20-25 mph winds for 3 days. ONLY time I wished I had a wheel boat. Tight lines!

My dad and I have been running a honda 4 stroke (not a tiller) for the last 13 years. We got it in 07. We have never had a problem with it.

Sweet boat, can anyone tell me the exact overall length with motor and swing tongue trailer? I am hoping to fit one in my garage.

Turn them lights on by your picks to attract bait fish. We use lights off our boats. Makes croppie fishing way better.

Question for you, does the storage compartments stay dry or do you need to take things out to dry?
Nice setup.
