So proud of Ott!! Go Vols!

Interesting features, very well done for shallow water. Of course boat hulls are always a compromise, just so people are not mistaken. You can't expect this shallow draft boat to have the sea keeping characteristics of a deep vee hull inboard in heavy off shore seas. But in terms of specialization, this is a great combination of shallow water features!

Awesome video Ott and awesome boat ! Thanks !

Badass! This is a dream boat

Those mods you added are fantastic! What a great option to river fish. Im jealous bro. lol

+TheVirginiaStew Good deal and good luck on the boat mods.

My old man had a four stroke mercury jet on his 18 ft triton Jon boat...it was underwhelming in its power. He then sold it for a 90/65 optimax. Man what a difference. We always have ran mercury motors, and love them, but for us, the optimax is stil the best running motor on the market, IMO. My grandfather has a 90 horse evinrude E-tec, I believe it’s a 2009. It’s meticulously cared for, and it just doesn’t get up and go like the 90 merc we had on a 190 sport fisher. His boat is a Lund 18ft V hull. Boats are almost identical in size and weight, and my fathers mercury walks has walked away from that ‘rude since he had it. We fish the St. Lawrence.

I have a Ranger rt178, seems like this might work for me for all the river fishing I wana do. The lakes are so packed anymore every wkend I just wana get back on the rivers. Where do you find a shop to do all that at?

Yea all that stuff is definitely useful where he was shown in video at Pickwick super shallow their at dam

I contacted an aluminum boat builder yesterday to get a poling platform and some waterproof cabinets put in my same exact boat and he told me the only way is to cut the entire boat in half to reweld everything 😭😂😂. You wouldn't believe the builder if I told you, I guess you're builder is smarter than him. Where did you get this work done?

Really nice video man but you need to ditch the TP and get sponsored by Dude Wipes!! :)

What size are your trim tabs

Man I thought I could buy a boat like this. Looks like I'm gonna have to make it a project.

@Bopper, I agree those mods are great! I sold our Sylvan runabout last summer and am looking for a replacement. I love those mods. @Wired2Fish, @OttDefoe - do you think local boat dealers can do similar mods? I'm in Wisconsin, so we have dealers, just not sure about the mods.

+Larry Reeder Not sure about a local dealer doing a modification like this. Ott had his good friend Mike Watson Designs out of Bluff City Tennessee help him on this project. Probably going to require doing some calling around and finding a good fabricator.

Most of this you can do yourself

ill be honest most people don't understand what it takes to make a boat perform in the shallows. I was skeptical clicking on this video, but the modifications where very well thought out. im still really surprised your hanging onto a prop. why not run a 2" tunnel and trade the 90 for a 150/105 jet? it would operate in less water and the smaller tunnel would displace a little more water and compensate for the slightly heavier motor. guess you don't have to worry about a clogged intake. nice rig, and good spot for your sponsors.

There are many factors in doing a pro job. One plan I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Denelle boat builder (google it if you're interested) definately the no.1 course that I've seen. Check out this incredible site.

So what material did he use for the padding?

It's more of a mod-v and not designed for real rough water, but can certainly tackle choppy water with ease - although maybe a little bumpy.

30 grand bass tracker that he paid zero money for. I probably would guess that bass pro shop hooked him up and used a lot of older equipment from his older tournament bass boat's. I know he is not KVD WHO gets a new 21 foot nitro every season or every other one at least. I can't believe that everyone jumped over to Minn kotta but that spot lock feature is a game changer. Wondering how motorguide will respond to it.
