I have an Alumacraft Classic 165 CS (2017). I wish I would have gotten the tiller model. If you do upgrade I would recommend the vinyl deck. Very easy clean up especially if you are using nightcrawlers. Great thorough tour of your boat.

Hey Does that vinyl deck get slippery when wet?

I bought the exact boat in August of 21. The 70 hp will idle at about 2.2mph. Top speed is 31-32mph. I have 5 batteries on board and 2 Minnkota anchormates with 32# anchors. I really like this boat. The motor jumps on plane quick and is very stable.

I love the design of this boat! I would have a slightly lower horsepower outboard. I would also have a Garman Force trolling motor with live view for the bow!

That boat is very similar to my Alumacraft Lunker yet very different. Probably a little heavier cause although mine is 16.5 feet long it is rated for just a 50 HP outboard. Also my livewell is on the side of the boat, which when full really changes the balance in the boat. And also I don't have an internal gas tank, just a 6 gallon external tank. Your boat would be a nice upgrade to mine, let me know when you sell it in a few years I might be interested!

Right on, that is what my dad has for a boat great boat. The width is a big difference too as mine is 87” wide! You’ll love the Competitor! Thanks for watching!

What lake are you on looks sweet!

I have the smme rig 🙂, do yourself a favor and get Tiller Assist.

Upgrade to the foldable tie downs;)

Thank you for the info, for me, just want a simple fishing boat, no bells and whistles. 40hp motor and maybe 16 ft long. that is it. I'm a kentucky poor fisherman, using jawbone baitcasting combo w/2 pi rod 6'.6", with 20lbs line. $49.99 can't bet it. Just saying. Bank fishing rivers, lakes & creeks, catch and clean and cook hem.

Where did you get your boat

Would this size boat handle ok with bigger lakes on a windy day? Leech, or LOTW? Or would a 17 or 18 foot be better?

@Wisconsin_Fisherman

The 185 would do better on the windy day

Put the light where the fly rod is.

What's the price?

Do you like the shorelander trailer? Is it a 2 bunk or 4? I see quite a few Alumacraft 165 models like this and the classic on heritage and eagle brand trailers to that look much sturdier.. anyone else have opinions on trailer?

I do have the shoreland’r roller I love it. In some shallow lakes up here it’s hard unloading bunk trailers. I like them and EZ loader as well. Eagle is a great trailer for the price as well

Always leave you hatches open during storage, the boat will dry out better. Never should have water in your boat for prolonged periods

I'm wanting to get a boat like that the only problem is I'm in the south and I will have to order it without seeing it. My question is there any way you could tell me the length and width of the cockpit. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks if you can and thanks for the video.

I like a deep v, but I wonder why your 165 seems to lean to starboard as you sit in back. I can't stand a tippy boat.
