Walkthrough on the Alumacraft Trophy 205 Powered By Yamaha F300
Since many of you asked... A walkthrough of my new boat, the 2020 Alumacraft Trophy 205 powered by a Yamaha F300, along with a T.9.9 kicker. I go over the features and storage on the boat, including my Power-Pole and Garmin electronics. This boat will be for sale at the end of the season.

Wow such an incredible presentation of your boat and thank you for sharing this with us! I have been following you now for awhile and I have to say you have really found your calling and you have progressed a lot and I cannot wait to see some more! This boat is beautiful and has everything that is needed and then some!! Hate to see this go but I cannot wait to see the new rig! Alumacraft does make some really nice boats that's for sure! Thanks again for sharing and I think Alumacraft should have you start presenting their boat lineup for next year! :)

Why no downriggers? Not deep water fishing?
That thing is amazing! How does the overall fit and finish look? The eagle is a bunk I believe, any reason why you choose that over a roller trailer? Can you mount down riggers on the track system?
@SheLovesToFish
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I am happy with the fit and finish! I have only ever had bunk trailers. From what I've heard they carry the weight more evenly and are better on the hull but again, I haven't owned rollers. At the rear of the boat there is room to install tracks which is where I would suggest putting downriggers rather than on the removable tracks I'm using.

@@mrwho2118 No problem! I ran the T-Pro 185 which is 2 feet shorter than the Trophy 205 I have now. The Trophy has more cockpit space and higher gunnels, but it is also a larger boat. The only thing I'm not crazy about on the Trophy is the smaller opening on the rear livewell, also the placement on the rod/storage lockers on the gunnels but I got around it with the Traxstech accessories. I love both boats though, so I can't offer much in the way of dislikes.
What steps are those?
Do you buy these or sponsors?
I know this has been awhile but I see that you are running a Power Pole and the standard ladder, they are attempting to rig Minn Kota Raptors on my Alumacraft Competitor 205 and are having a problem installing the Raptors without causing issues with the boarding ladder. Are you running your Power Poles off of a jackplate? It's hard to tell from the video.

Off the wall sort of question: do my eyes deceive me, or is that motor bigger than you are? Either way that thing looks huge.
I am having difficulty grasping this rig. I can't imagine the income required to purchase such a thing. Does it bring enough income to you to pay for itself? I am 70 years old and during my best earning years the price is 3 times my best years gross pay. This is kind of ridiculous.
