Randy gives some tips and advice on buying a bass boat…#fishing #bassfishing #bass #fishthemoment #bassboats

Im still using a 12 foot mirocraft made in 1965 . Im 50 now and I’ve been catching hundreds of bass in my lifetime. I don’t have any electronics and being in that small boat keeps me thoroughly fishing through every spot. I’ve fished out of bass boats which will definitely spoil you but the goal is to get out there put in the time and never quit learning.

I don't understand the negative feedback on this one. It is not a "free ride" upholding your end of the deal with a sponsor, alot of work and commitment involved. To anyone who doesn't appreciate the content of this channel, please keep your negativity to yourself and find something else to watch. Alot of people including myself read the content of some comments to upbuilt by likeminded people. Thanks Randy for creating this channel.

I haven't seen a boat with a 50 horse with tandem axle, but I agree with you

[lesterry]

That's a nice rig you have there. I used to fish in a Bass club for years and finally got the Skeeter I always wanted in 1997 ZX 185c. I still have it and have had absolutely no problems with the boat or my Yamaha Pro V 150 other than minor up keep and up grades. My wife and I still use it every year and still love the boat and it still looks a runs great. A word to all boat owner is keep your boat inside and out of the weather when you are not using it and it will last a lifetime.

In 2019 I bought a new aluminum Tracker 185 V hull walk thru windshield. I love it for the deep sides and light weight on the trailer. Only issue with metal hull is it scratches much easier

Gorgeous rig you have man, I’ve had my ‘99 Tracker for almost 5 years now and am looking forward to an upgrade, but I love how little I spend on gas and towing. The only major downside with my rig is running in rough water. I pretty much have to stay off the big lakes if the forecast calls for 15+ mph wind. Someday I’ll get a bigger rig but I catch plenty of fish out of what I’ve got

[georgeadcock]

Agree with Power poles, 36 volt TM, tandem trailer. Would add hydraulic jack plate, spot lock.
Disagree with Hotfoot. I like both hands on steering wheel....

[SpookyRedz]

My first was a custom built aluminum welded, then a 18”6 ft Champion elite, now I have a 22ft Bullet SF , and a 20 ft Pathfinder Bay boat which was my dads that he left me

[mr.skeptical]

I've had two bass boats and B.o.a.t. really does stand for "bust out another thousand!" Just got my wife and I two kayaks, can't wait to hit the small lakes and rivers here in SC!

I have a bass tracker pro tournament 19’ that has more deck space than most glass boats. Nice wide deck all the way up front with flat deck beside graphs and trolling motor. The 90hp merc moves it 40-45mph fully loaded live well full. Poke a hole just tape it up for weekend and weld it when get home. Lol

Randy I’ve been using a modified 2014 tracker, my buddy had it and it was his saltwater boat that he used to take into the key bridge area of Baltimore Maryland and fish for rockfish. Well he took all the gas supplies off, I have a live well I have it boarded out all my batteries are in an area where they belong I left at the same I lifted the front up so it’s all one walking height I made it all one level instead of the bunks on the side I use one of them to store three rods I have a 36 V upside down golf cart motor in the back that runs on 6-6V batteries, and I have 212 V batteries right next in line to them that is bridge for my gator mount motor guide 75 pound thrust upfront trolling motor and I have a basic HDS seven with a structural Box big transducer plate and I used to have only two55 lbs. 12 V motors on back and they used to get me all through the reservoir you just Gotta have battery capacity long as you got battery capacity Randy you can do a lot but I system on a boat like yours fish for two weeks out of a nitro and it’s a total different game changer I got to different areas quicker and it made it a lot more efficient and a lot more hook up ratio anything that stresses your mind while you’re out there is not good for you that’s why I believe in everything you say because you don’t say this is how it’s gonna be you say this is how it worked for you and how it works for others so in your experience it works for a lot of people other than just yourself and I like how other people are speaking up we don’t need negativity on here when it comes to comments if they can’t be respectful they don’t need to listen to your channel because this is a respectful area and we are all here or safe and we love your advice when it comes to what you do for a living and I believe in you 100% you and Matt, like you said Randy behind every good man especially construction running a business and fisherman and a sports player athlete any kind of creativity in the mind of a real man and a real woman that woman makes that man the great person he is and a lot of people don’t agree with it’s true just look around you throughout your life everyone who reads this post facts are facts, And the best thing about it Randy is having a boat you know you can do a lot, you can take your kids out not even fish pull them around on a tube fission brings so many other adventures to light I wish everyone enjoyed what we do but I can’t speak for everyone can only speak for the people enjoy what we do tight lines and smart brains take care Randy and thank you God bless

Great bit Randy, I couldn't agree more.
I wanted a 20 ft Bass boat so bad, I searched all 2019 from Bass Cat to Phoenix to Skeeter, as you mentioned my wife and kids played a role on my decision wifey likes to crappie fish, my son likes to Bass fish when their biting and my daughter just wanted to boat and tube.
We have a local place in a gated community in Foristel MO, small lake 285 acres, 20ft limit on boats.
We decided on a 2020 Lund Impact 19ft with a 150 Merc.
Fantastic boat, so many memories.
I put it's first 100 hrs on it in 6 months.
Been everywhere from Shoals, Rock, Chickamauga, Watts Bar to Grand lake Ok.

Now I've been tournament fishing and really wanting a Bass Cat puma..just to expensive.

Great channel Randy
we love it

[hbdejean]

Must say Randy I respect you and I like your take on things. I agree on most of your points and although there’s a few things I thought were my own secrets that you let out the bag! there’s also many things you’ve opened my eyes to. One of the few people on social media I can say I truly benefit from. Feels like I know you. Thanks man, keep doing what you’re doing….

Hey Randy thanks for the great info advice on buying a bass boat I'm hoping by next year I'll be able to purchase a bass boat. I'm going to get a aluminum boat better on gas and alot more affordable for me and I don't get a chance to go out as much as you do. Randy I have alot of knowledge but Randy you have to go out on the water all the time and use that knowledge to my advantage. Randy I haven't had a chance to go fishing this year because of my medical issues . Thanks very much for those awesome tips on buying a boat especially the trailer and battery tip. Randy I have get a smooth moves seat for my bad back but all the homework I did I really need this seat . Sorry I don't watch every video but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you Randy I've learned alot of things about fishing and that's because of you bro much appreciated 👍 God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike. Ps great video on people littering Randy even though I smoke cigarettes Randy I never ever throw my cigarettes in the water or on shore and if I am fishing on shore if I throw them on the ground I always and I mean always Randy pick them up and through them in the trash. Randy if you ever started a program to clean up around the lakes here in Missouri. Randy I would gladly come down to the lake and help you do some cleaning up. Bless you bro for caring about our lakes and nature. I was thinking one day to grab some garbage bags and go down to table rock lake and do some cleaning like you say if we all help we can keep nature. You know Randy I think alot of people don't realize just how good we have it here in this country. Randy I won't you to never forget what I'm about to say. Randy there is just not many people like you who really truly care about our lakes and nature God bless you always.

Bought a new Tracker Classic and have no complaints. It does everything I want it to do, it fits in my garage, 50hp runs 37to 38mph. And it didn’t cost $50, 000 to $80, 000…
