What's up! My name's Eric. I'm a transplanted New Jerseyan enjoying some fun in the sun in South Florida. While I love fishing, I've developed a passion for helping people catch some of the bucket list species I'm fortunate enough to have in my backyard. The water brings tranquility, rehabilitation, peace, and happiness to me, and I enjoy sharing it with others. Teaching people how to improve their angling skills, sharing my knowledge of fishing, and seeing the joy and excitement of people becoming more successful on the water is extremely rewarding for me as a full time fishing guide.
While I do enjoy wetting a line, you'll also find me getting my hands dirty and wrenching on my boat, and vehicle. I can also be spotted in the kitchen whipping up some tasty meals, cuz I love to eat! I also love to explore, and enjoy destination Planet Earth. I share all these things on my channel, and I'm appreciative of everyone who joins me.

It looked like the motor wasn't peeing at the final test.
I have been fishing for most of my life but now, at 57, I am learning how to fish. LOL! Not sure if they have made any changes to this in the 6 years since you posted this but I received mine on Saturday along with their Viper X 2000 spinning reel plus a 150 yard spool of 20lbs Power Pro V2. I gave up on those bushing right out of the gate. Since I have never spooled a reel before, this was a dream. Now I just need to get to some water.
S-o-o-o glad I watched this vid. Was already thinking $40-50,000 for a truk when my Nissan Rogue, rated for 1500 lbs. will do the job. Thanx Eric, very thorough vid. I am now a subscriber!
Footage looks good but would look better if I was catching a poon on the boat...
If you're referring to the footage in this video you're commenting on, ABSOLUTELY NO.
Well lets do some dock lights in Jupiter one night when you get back. I'll drag the boat up there.
Sorry I didn't look what video the comment was on. I thought it was one of my videos...
@@JupiterGeorgeFishing your a wanker mate, at least I asked.

Rare to see these kinds of videos with such clarity. New genre emerging perhaps?
It's pretty clear in low-light conditions, cool vid
First! Lowlight looks pretty good on the camera.
Not while they're in whatever container that is
Awesome video brother, monster tarpon!!!! Congrats.
Wow Looks so niceeeee, btw, how many amps does it take to charge a cell phone? Charging cell phones is a major need that I am considering.
Can you listen at max volume for a while without harming speaker?
do you do fly casting lessons?
Great video. Just replaced my motor that needs restoration. Gonna follow this process.
Everyone uses Zink, but I never hear about anyone using Gink. Even other guides I talk to don't use it. Try it, works great on all streamers.
Holly shit what a show 😮😮😱😱🤯🤯
You could run a flat piece of aluminum all the way across the front plate about 4 inches wide. Then you culd mount a trolling motor as well.
Thank you good stuff
Excellent video, covering everything. Done these jobs before but this is a good refresher before I do mine tomorrow. Oil, filters etc loaded up in van and ready to go - thanks!
Wow! Thats was impressive backing up the boat.
My buddy I fish bought one .He was sick of his MinnKota it was new and always in the shop and it was new . There is no comparison ,the move is on a level of its own level .I wish I could afford one but he is a millionaire and am not .Like i said there is no better .
Yuppy
I believe Power Pole sells a separate view screen that you can mount in the back of the boat, thanks for the view
Excellent production quality. Really enjoyed this product review!
NLbN is great but I got a lot of one bite and tail is out.
You’re fishing in a pond. 🤣
Bro those rod's can not take the stress that saltwater fish can dish out. You need a saltwater rod .
excellent video!
Where did you get that plate with the power trim for your motor?
I am wondering why your ice bags look like they came from McDonald's
Tfo and lamson reels. Best bang for your buck and best warranties.
Boat mechanic here and I didn't watch the video, but there is absolutely no reason to remove the outboard. Whether to fix, replace the trim unit.
*4 stroke outboards are the worst thing to ever happen to outboard engines. They are heavy, gutless and couldn't pull the 4$kin on my slug back. Absolute poop 💩💯*
Cool video 😎
but heavy engine 60kg or more ?
in 4 years the price boat only is up to 8,200
You mention you would go to a stainless prop, what one are you thinking about getting and what pitch? Would you do a review on it if you get one? I got the same motor and contemplating going to a ss prop too.
What frogs are being used
What kind of floor are you running
People, only watch this if you want to know what NOT to do. You're sprays should overlap. even from the initial primer coat he is leaving massive gaps & has to go back over it to get proper coverage. And then Uses acetone (paint remover) to clean after each coat. His final finish is the ultimate example of a rubbish job, The entire cowl was "orange peeled" when he put the cowl on the motor just before he put the decals on. It should have been polish smooth before he ever put the clear coat on. Watch any other video but this one!
Go 2 stroke much lighter
hah the rain and welcome to florida is so accurate
Very nice I’m getting ready to put a deck on mine
what gig you using
I will be ecstatic if I can get the results you did. I will be taking this project on later in the year. Right now I'm to wrapped up in learning how to repair gelcoat 😂. Already enrolled in the school of You tube for DYI boat engine repair and restoration 😅. I actually enjoy working on my boat so it doesn't bother me to learn and apply my new skills. When you finally get it right there's no better feeling. I can't thank guys like you enough for sharing your skills and teaching others like myself who really want to learn. I can't have a boat if I can't do the work. I'm an average person making an average wage trying to do a rich mans hobby 😂. You know what though I'm pulling it off. If you take your time and learn what to look for before you buy a boat you can find one that isn't ridiculously expensive and just needs some love. You have to want it! You have to love learning and doing your own work. If you do it's not break out another thousand it's break out a couple hundred and get ready to put in time and some elbow grease. Be ready to make mistakes and do it again sometimes to. My boat has come a long way and it's really starting to look awesome. I love knowing she's mine and I brought her back to beautiful with my own two hands and few ulcers😅.
I think you should have spooled the spinning reel with a mono backing instead of using 500 yards of expensive braid. That would still leave enough braid that you would never see the mono. In addition, attaching braid directly to the spool leaves too much chance for the braid to spin on the spool, even after filling the reel. But then again, the main purpose of the video was to trail the spooling device, which you accomplished.
Bro rod tip is fishing 101 nice vid I’m actually in Broward very cool
I am right handed but I very much prefer the handle on the LEFT side so I can cast with the RIGHT hand, and immediately start reeling if necessary. Maybe this is because I fish the majority of the time with a spinning reel or fly rod or cane pole or tenkara pole. But for a right hander, cast with the right hand. What now will the left hand do? It should do all the reeling. Right hand can apply thumb pressure to the spool if a bit of extra drag is needed. I always fish with a very light drag and use my thumb as needed, the RIGHT thumb, because I am holding the rod and palmint the reel with my RIGHT hand. Left hand does the cranking. Fine motor skills are not needed for cranking the handle. Righties, try it with left hand retrieve for a week and you will be hooked.
LOL HEAD AND SHOULDERS?! GTFO noob
I'm thinking to get a 1436 with 25hp jet for shallow water
What was length of boat
