[@brianblizzard7591]

Wow, what an awesome boat. Nice job with the narration.

[@SeaShift]

why thank you loyal and faithful subscriber!

[@jeffodum8754]

Still Looks just like my 16, I do like the The changes on the captions seats

[@SeaShift]

I love the captain seats. Overall I am extremely happy with this boat

[@bonesdentrepair696]

Great walkthrough video I’d love to chat more about your experience so far with this model I’m local and shopping the same model🤘🦅

[@SeaShift]

Absolutely. Feel free to ask any question you have!

[@fishing4dinner]

What a fine boat bud! Like wow! Which prop did it come with and have you tried any others? Mid 50s on that rig is outstanding.

[@SeaShift]

Thank you! It’s a power tech 3 blade 22p, I never tried other props because I was pleased with this one so much.

[@fishing4dinner]

@@SeaShift It def sounds like you’re dialed in. Appreciate your response. Great show. I also have 300 Suzuki but in a Ranger 2410. Have a 3x20 Suz prop. I’m close but still about 3-400 rpm off.

[@SeaShift]

@@fishing4dinner thank you for watching! This motor I can get just over 6000 if I pushed it all the way down but I don’t like to run it anymore than 4900 if I want to get where I’m going, absolutely love my Suzuki.

[@fishing4dinner]

@@SeaShift I hear ya. It does sound like you’re right on the money. Hammer down and feathering the jackplate I can get 5900 rpm with a tail wind going with the tide. Otherwise I’m around 5650-5700. I’d really like to touch 6k. As a byproduct my hole shot would improve.

[@SeaShift]

@@fishing4dinner yea does sound like you have a little bit left for sure, better holeshot always be nice, fastest I’ve had this boat was 56mph

[@jasonspring6970]

I just put a deposit down on the 2021 powered with a Merc 250. Anything you wish you had on this boat? Any options you passed on that you wished you wouldn’t have?

[@SeaShift]

I actually got the boat maxed out on the options I believe, it’s the LE edition. One thing I wish that the boat had was a small head in the console for my fiancé when we on the boat but it’s not a deal breaker. You will love this bot it rides so nice. I would recommend a trolling motor absolutely and a power pole. The boat with a backplate to is a very nice addition for those shallow water areas.

[@jasonspring6970]

@@SeaShift Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely getting a power pole and trolling motor. You actually reminded me about the jack plate. How skinny of water you get into with that boat? I assume you have a jack plate as well?

[@SeaShift]

@@jasonspring6970 yes I do have a 6 inch jack plate, I can get into about 14-16 inches of water. I love the jack plate, something I never knew I wanted. This boat came with extras I personally wouldn’t have gotten but after I have had them I can’t live without lol

[@jasonspring6970]

@@SeaShift Did you ever add side and down imaging?

[@SeaShift]

@@jasonspring6970 no not yet, my most recent purchase is the autopilot for the big motor but I have thought about it, maybe in a year or two I will. Definitely in the future though, I have a thru hull transducer on the bow so I don’t have anything on the transom

[@bv4879]

What hold do you have your motor mounted in, mine is the middle holes and the hole shot takes forever. I am thinking to raise the motor and going to a four blade prop

[@SeaShift]

I have mine on a Jack plate so I can adjust mine. However at all levels my 300 Suzuki takes a minute to get out of the hole as well. I have to use my trim tabs everytime

[@bv4879]

Mine is a 200 suzuki in the middle hole, on a jackplate that is not adjustable. I am thinking to go to the last hole, then possibly a 4 blade prop. With 4 people on board, they have to be if front of the console to get out of the hole.

[@bv4879]

@@SeaShift I am told the issue is the Hull design and the suction it creates. Boat rides awesome, just embarrassing how slow the hole shot is.

[@SeaShift]

@@bv4879 Do they have to be up front even with the use of trim tabs? Yes the comfort of the boat running 35-40 MPH on a day where its a foot and a half chop on the intercoastal is incredible. She flies and lands great and cuts through the chop with ease.

[@bv4879]

Yes, even with trim tabs it takes a football field and then some. The motor seems like it lacks power for the hole shot, zero prop slippage. I thought maybe a 4 blade would help?

[@alexv305]

Seaborn fx25 or key west 250 bay reef????

[@SeaShift]

Of those two, I would prefer the Sea Born. Great boat, and I love mine. However, I still think I prefer my FX24 over a FX25. I don't care for the Key west 250 bay reef design all that much. The FX boats hold the beam pretty far on the bow and a comfortable ride, speaking on the FX24 of course.

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

My boat will keep up with you haha with a 150 you got a Slowzuki im running a merc 150 4 stroke on my 20x6 flat 20 tranny your no faster hahaha

[@SeaShift]

"slowzuki" gets me 4MPG iI amm fin with my speed and my reliability. However that need for more speed is always there but 50MPH on water s fine with me. Fastest I've had her is 56 WOT. I'm fine with that lol

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

@@SeaShift i still got to get my merc propped right but in about a 60+ mile trip i burned about 12 gallons and had around a 500lb load

[@SeaShift]

@@edwardabrahamiii3742 thats pretty good, i never did anything with my prop because I have been pleased, I have entertained the idea of looking for a different prop but this one performs very well.

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

@@SeaShift suzuki the hardest to prop tho
