2024 Bass Tracker Classic XL 9 month review

[@cathyknox935]

Thanks for the insight of this boat but I don't know anything about them enjoyed learning about them 💯

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yeah I just had to do a review just in case somebody wanted to buy a bass tracker I recommend going to Bass Pro Shop they specialize in them instead independent Dealers But yeah they still fun I like learning about all boats But it makes me sick because I always find a boat better than the one I got But I do appreciate everything I've got And we're going to try to keep enjoying it I do like the lowe better

Happy Father's Day Anthony, hope you are having a great time with your family today.

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Thank you sorry so late about answering Happy Father's Day to you too if you have children if you don't They are a blessing hopefully we can put out some more videos that you enjoy and I'm hoping to explain it everything I'm doing in the process we're still new to this but we working on it and enjoy it

Yes I have three children, Anthony. My oldest is 37 now and is a diesel mechanic. My daughter is 36 and has just graduated college for the second time for elementary education. My youngest son works in the oil fields. Don't get to see them very often as the boys are out west and my daughter lives in Sweden.

[@mwatkins2464]

I like that trolling motor. Mine went out and I gotta save up to get a new one. It’s hard to fish without one.

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yes it is it really is you definitely got to have a trolling motor

[@Tnuscan]

I see what your talking about the water coming over the top of the live well. that would be agravating.

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yeah I've done talked to Bass Tracker it was a bad design But what can you do So I've been letting the water out As before I go to the next spot And then putting a plug back in That's the only way I can solve it

[@joebuck66]

You might take two ratchet straps and Kris cross them in the back, see if that keeps it from swaying. Great review.

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yeah I'm going to replace them straps with ratchet straps and tighten it down hopefully that will make a difference the bottom of that bass Tracker is so slick I've never seen play boat slick his daddy is on bottom I like it because if you get it off can you pull it out of water you can slide that thing right over in its place it is so slick but yeah I'm going to replace it with the ratchet straps

[@3604x4]

I got the pro170 and the live well seems a bit better than the classics. Do to motor restrictions where I fish I only have a 20hp . I did get an ultrex 24v trolling motor. Spot lock is great. Freaking love the boat.

[@RonS-xg7lp]

Hey Anthony. Where did you get the rubber strips you added on the sides? Mine has gotten all dinged up. Thanks,

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Furniture Edge and Corner Guards | ordered off of Amazon for about 17 to $20 it's made of foam not rubber but I am looking for some but it does help

[@JJo-z9z]

Take the rear bumpers off. Get some pve and cut to length. Then put bumpers back on,moves the bumpers closer to boat,keeps it tighter in turns. Of course leave an inch on each side to load boat.

[@TravisTheDriver]

Get some longer straps and another cross your straps on the back instead of strait up and down go right side to left side vise versa see if that helps with the boat moving around. Just a thought.

[@phillipramirez6719]

thanks for the extensive review

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Sorry low so late about answering I could have did a better job on the review in the next review I do I will do a better one but on that review if I would have had it to do over I would have went up to the pro series cuz it has the rod Locker on the boat and the rod rails on it this one does not I was in a hurry to buy this boat but that being said I still pleased with it

[@ronmayo8591]

Anthony, I try to be respectful of Bass Pro Shop, but after spending 12 1/2 years working at the distribution center in Springfield Missouri it kinda soured me. Tried to buy a boat from them years ago and was told that they don't finance employees. Even with the employee discount I was able to buy products elsewhere for less money. Found my bass boat in a guys farm field. Needed some work done to it but for $800 and after putting another $1500 into it I am happy with it.

[@FishingbyAnthony]

I heard that that's wild that they didn't Finance employees but that independent dealer just done me wrong and Bass Pro Shop done me right I have to give them high remarks and I like the bass Tracker I like the lowe better and I wish I would have found a older boat and fix it the way I want it but now I got so much money in that bass Tracker I will never get my money back out of it and the kids like it so I'm stuck with it you know what I mean if the kids liked it that means I got to like it

[@Chronos9111]

Does it only have 1 Live-well?

[@michaelcleary9745]

Where did you get the bumper material??

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Sorry for so late by answering back its we bought it off Amazon it is actually a Furniture bumper that you put on corners of a tables and stuff the foam kind not the rubber I am researching it where I can actually do it a little better

[@jameslakes5019]

😮 buy 175 bass tracker 75 hp mercury rod locker

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yeah that's right I should have it would only cost me $2,000 more and I would have had to rod locker and everything else I needed on that boat

[@mikekenner9218]

Great review but I disagree with you about going to BPS. I dropped $58K on a Targa V-19 back before Covid and it was a terrible buying experience! Keep in mind the Targa's are A LOT different from your model, a lot more complex but they screwed up so many things. I liked my rig BUT first time I took her out, nothing worked, high turnover, the sales crew didn't know anything, zero support after I left, quality issues galore, everything is cheap and the list just goes on. Just a terrible experience. Go to a dealer instead but that's my $.02. Tight lines!

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Oh yeah I understand the dealer I dealt with I was in such a hurry to get a boat that I bought it from a independent dealer and I should have went to the Bass Pro Shop but after I bought it from that dealer he did not want to do nothing to fix the flaws that it had much money as I spent cuz I paid cash for it and I had to go to the Bass Pro Shop to get it fixed and that's the only reason I'm saying that the bass pro shop did a good job because they did do it I had to go through the jump through hoops to get it done but I got it done and and that's why I'm so pleased to watch The Bass Pro Shop did to the bass Tracker but I had it to do all over with I would have went to the bass pro shop and I would have upgraded to the pro series cuz it had to Rod Locker instead of the getting the classic

[@mikekenner9218]

@@FishingbyAnthony That makes sense. In the end, I hope you love your boat and get to make lots of memories. I got rid of my Targa back in March and went fiberglass. I got into a Triton which is still in the BPS family. So far, so good.

[@zoerythem]

Bad review 😢

[@FishingbyAnthony]

Yeah I know I appreciate you watching it I could have done better

[@lowtechredneck]

have you ever taking it into salt water?

[@FishingbyAnthony]

No I never go to saltwater too far away from it

[@lowtechredneck]

@@FishingbyAnthony I live an hour from Cocoa Beach in Cape Canaveral area in Florida if I can manage to save up enough money for the down payment , I will let you know
