[@alancummings5651]

One of the best rigged Sea Arks I’ve seen. Fantastic boat

[@bobcoleman3400]

That’s a fisherman’s dream boat.

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Great looking Boat Mike! Good Luck with her!!

[@brucesims8435]

Great boat. You always seem to have the best equipment. Good for you. Wish i had your resources. Keep up thhe great videos.

[@joeriverajr5091]

I'm excited to see you catfishing, see you on the water!

[@jtpigg1]

super video on your new boat Mike...

[@markhendon]

awesome boat and setup Mike

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Man what a boat. Makes me wish I were born Rich instead of So Good Looking. Can't wait to see you fishing in it

[@perrypotter1640]

Awesome boat Mike!

[@fuzzyfultz]

Awesome boat Mike. Friend here local ( Kris Mann ) has one of those sea arks. He loves it.

[@jimwilliams1492]

Love the sea ark. It sure is fun to make your boat your own. You always have some good ideas. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to figure out how to put one of those Bimini tops on my Tracker. .

[@pointblankokc]

Nice boat man !

[@Grtpain3]

looking forward to your new videos

[@danh423]

Nice set up .. would love to see a picture of the Shouse! We are looking into it too

[@fishingwithcamo-joe88]

NICE!!!!!!!...GO GETT'UM!!!!!!!!! "MR BAKER"

[@theoutdoorprincipal9464]

Hey Mike! I finally just ordered a Protege. Who made your enclosure or did you order from Seaark?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Ordered from Sea Ark.

[@mcooper320]

Great video. Awesome boat. It is obvious you put a lot of thought into setting up this boat. One question....what stack mount did you go with for your bow mounted sonar units?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Balz Out

[@kennethlangford5797]

Hell of a setup Mr Baker congratulations. Do you plan on fishing a catfish tournament series

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Not sure yet.

[@theoutdoorprincipal9464]

Hey Mike! Finally got my protege and trying to hook up the front livescope. Did you put the black box in the anchor box and where did you drill the hole for all the wires? Thanks in advance for the help!

[@MikeBakerVideos]

@@theoutdoorprincipal9464 yes, and I drilled a hole near the trolling motor plug.

[@markbartolowits5354]

Thanks for the video, I am going to buy the protege. I will send you pictures. Do u have a source u can recommend for the enclosure? Also, does your foot pedal have a place to be stored or can it be disconnected easily

[@MikeBakerVideos]

You will love it! I purchased my enclosure from Sea Ark when I purchased the boat. My trolling motor foot pedal does not disconnect from the motor. I just leave it on the deck.

[@cknight8512]

Mike got that $$$$

[@leroyabernathy307]

Is there enough room on the front deck to use a chair using the factory deck mounts? or would you recommend an additional location? Thank you enjoyed the video

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Yes.

[@Grtpain3]

I hope you make a video on how to use livescope to catch catfish

[@lenefuimaono7595]

Congrats on the new boat Mike. You put a lot of thought in your boat. I’m just curious the black flooring that your Using on the bottom of the floor have you had any problems in the summertime getting too hot? When we were trolling in the summertime the wife likes to walk around and her socks. She complains about how hot the bottom of the boat.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Nope

[@tonykeyte9378]

I have those mats in my boat also and walk around without shoes on and don't have and issue in the summertime. Prior to those mats you would about blister your feet, that aluminum gets crazy hot.

[@lenefuimaono7595]

Thanks Tony.

[@chrishill5672]

Great video. Nice boat. Where did your rubber floor mats?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Orsechlin

[@chrishill5672]

Thanks I found the mats

[@rickyputnam4467]

mike you ever fish mark twain? I live up here. Ever think bout making a video up here

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Yes. I have fished Twain a lot. I should do a video there.

[@theoutdoorprincipal9464]

Nice boat, Mike! Just wondering what size truck you utilize for pulling?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Chevy Silverado 6.2 liter

[@theoutdoorprincipal9464]

@@MikeBakerVideos Thanks, Mike! I have the 5.7 Hemi. I am very interested in this style boat. Hopefully, I can pull the trigger at some point.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

@@theoutdoorprincipal9464 It towes easy. I pull it sometimes with my 2012 Silverado with the 5.? standard v8 engine with no problem.

[@theoutdoorprincipal9464]

Thanks, Mike. Very interested in a Pro Cat or Protege. How is it to livescope off the front. I want a little more versatile boat than what I have now. I enjoy trolling for crappie and catfishing. I feel like this boat would be great while also allowing me to fish brush off the front. Thanks for any input!

[@markbartolowits5354]

I love your boat. What did you call the flooring you have. Can you give me the name of the store. Thank you

[@MikeBakerVideos]

It is just a 3’ x 3’ rubber matt from Orschelins.

[@drich6816]

I wish one could get ride of that rear giant live well and have some rear seats put in. Then i would order one

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

Those poles are going to constantly be in the way while catfishing

[@dustingraupman3405]

We catfish all the time with 2 talons out the back. Don’t bother nothin. Beats an anchor line to get hung on

[@goodbless6094]

Big and long boat with no rod storage! No go!

[@mikesanders2531]
