I have the same boat, but it measures 16 feet and 27 inches long....😁

Love the Terrovas. That collapsible spring set up for the lids is cool!

Thankyou for the "boat" show-and-tell... I'm contemplating a river / lake boat... I've been eye-balling a "used" 1994 Smokercraft 162 Pro Mag. Dual console, dual livewell, dual fish finders, and plenty of movebale swivel seats. Relatively higher sides to help during windy days.

I'm glad the boat has worked out so well for you.👍

I have always liked your boat.... now even more. Can’t believe it’s 18 years old. You take great care of it. The LED’s are a nice touch.

Nice video. I just picked up a 1999 Alumacraft Dominator CS with a 2007 Honda 75hp 4 stroke EFI outboard. Can't wait to get it out on the water.

Thanks for sharing

Still an awesome boat but could use new carpet! 😎👍

How you install the boarding ladder trying to figure out how to get behind that transom

This transom wasn’t difficult at all to get to from behind. This was also 2 boats ago and I buy them already rigged with one now.

New here! I like that channel but you cracked me up with “17ft 15 in long. Wouldn’t it be easier to say 18ft 3in long?

Hi I have bought a 2011 alumacraft 165cs and love it. My question is how do you drain your live well? Mine has a plug and it seems mayb I have to be on plane as it stays in the water. I have a recirculating pump but know discharge pump. Any advise you can give would be appreciated thanks

Your boat is so clean! What is your cleaning routine? Wash? Wax? How often? Wipe down after each day? What products for washing and waxing do you like best?

Haha thanks homie!

Enjoy your videos, Clinton is also my home lake and underrated. I have the exact same boat, motor and trailer with the addition of a Yami 8T kicker. Agree 100% about all and difficulty getting fish out of large front live-well. Also use stern live-well as storage. Why did you switch from MotorGuide X15 to Minnkota Terova? Compatibility with Garmin electronics? Agree about ladder as safety measure. Would be extremely difficult to get back in if went overboard in cold weather and heavy cloths. Thanks for educational material.

DRUM roll please !!!!

Great Video as usual. Not sure of your technique for launching your boat by yourself but you should check out the drotto boat latch system to add to your trailer/boat. Has made it way easier to launch a boat by myself. Keep the great content coming.

No need for a Drotto right now but maybe someday, I know my 65 year old dad loves his! 🤣

So my apologies up front cause I'm geeking out over this video. So many questions. We have a Alumacraft Tournament 175 which didn't come with the rod locker on the sides. What would you guess the height and width of those? I'm going to build those myself. Is that a Ram mount you're using for your Terrova storage brace? Did you have to do anything special to plug that back live well? How does the heading sensor work with the Terrova? I've got a bunch of upgrades to do next month. Livescope, 93sv UHD, network port expander, and heading sensor. I really enjoyed these types of video showing your setup. Thanks for taking the time to create this kind of content. Again sorry for all the questions.

@KansasAnglingExperience

1) Probably 8' wide by 16" tall 2) I think I mentioned towards the end that I use a RAM mount stabilizer for the Terrova 3) The valve system is broken and it's closed shut. I just put a plug in the drain to prevent any other moisture from getting in 4) All Terrovas, Ulterras, and Ultrexs come with a heading sensor. It's basically a compass used for the jog feature.

Where do you have your speakers mounted? How many do you have 2?? What kind of on board charger do you have for the trolling motor...think I am gonna need to upgrade mine when I get my Terrova!

I have the same boat except mine is a 2001. Could you please find out where your dad got those springs ? PS, love my boat too!

Full windshield is important for me, because it can get really cold speeding from fishing spot to fishing spot without something blocking the wind.

Been looking for a boarding platform like what you put on the back of your rig. Do you remember the brand? Appreciate it.

Hey great videos! One question for you. The see lite adapter you are using for power to your Garmin unit, does it bring your voltage down to 12vlts? Just curious as to the max voltage the Garmins can handle.

Lots of drum are always a good sign of a healthy fishery but on the nice, calm days here, it’s absolutely absurd. A lot of power plant lakes are very weather driven, often fishing much better on the bad weather days. Fuckin drum though man...
