A Wooden Bass Boat?! My NEW DREAM Machine Vexus VX21 Bass Boat Full Walk Through

My NEW DREAM machine. Represented here is 28 years of dreaming of better. Better equipment, better opportunities, better experiences.
Started off the bank, and made all the transitions to rental boats, float tubes, fishing off friends boats, buying tin cans to rig as bass boats, to the last DREAM machine. This is my rendition of the ultimate bass fishing platform. All functionality and a little bit of my personality.
This is the full walk through video of my ‪@VexusBoats‬ VX21 from ‪@Intunemarine‬ ! 📸 and 🎥 by @scootdaddyangling
The wood look is brought to us by our friends at VFX wraps out of Jersey, and I'm telling you right now NOBODY does better work with boat wraps. We drove the rig across the country to make sure that Mike and team were the ones who brought the wood look to life!
Big Thanks to my friend Bret Erickson out of West Fargo, North Dakota who did the fiberglass prep and custom ‪@SeaDekVideosandProducts‬ install! If you have a bass boat with carpet that you want to upgrade to SeaDek, it IS INDEED possible. Bret built out the gaps in the fiberglass lids to eat up the space left for carpet to wrap around. Then finished all the surfaces so that the SeaDek could adhere properly. Email Bret to contact him for working on your new project boat! [e-mail]
My custom wood grain SeaDek features my brand partners for 2021! Including ‪@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany‬ ‪@yeticoolers‬ @Mustangsurvival ‪@YakimaRacksOfficial‬ ‪@toyotausa‬ @DefiantFishing ‪@MegabassAmerica‬ ‪@MeatEaterTV‬ ‪@thehookuptackle_usa‬ and @BassDynasty.
Powering the 21'11" platform is a ‪@MercuryMarine‬ 2021 Optimax 250hp motor and gets this BIG boat up on plane in a hurry. I'm able to stay on plane at low speeds of 19mph and so far through break in I've got it up to 65mph but I'm sure I can get it close or over 70 after learning the sweet spots on the jackplate/trim, etc. Plus I have a LOT of tackle in the boat haha.
A big change for me this season is the new ‪@GarminInt‬ Force Trolling motor which runs at an astonishing 3.8-4.0 miles per hour on full! Combined with my 5 ‪@battlebornbatteries‬ Lithiums they run amazing and long! We have 3 12 volt Battle Borns to power the 36 volt trolling motor. Another 2 linked together to provide 200 cranking hours to power the Mercury outboard and 5, YES 5 Garmin Echomap 126v and 122v's!
Why 5 units? I have dual 12" Echomaps on my console so I can run at high speeds and be able to glance at a wide zoom topographical map and I run a tight zoom topographical map/down scan simultaneously so I can navigate safely and keep my rig in one piece! Up on the bow I am the only person I know who is able to run Garmin's Panoptix Livescope technology with both the standard forward facing view and the new perspective view SIMULTANEOUSLY with each having it's own dedicated screen. Fishing is a game of information, processing it and making better decisions. After fishing without electronics most of my life, understanding them has made me undoubtedly more efficient.
The 3rd unit on the bow is a Garmin Echomap 126v which is capable of Side-Vu for my sidescanning needs. The right unit on my console is also a 126v. All the units are networked together to "talk to each" other, share waypoints, display livescope on any of the units, etc. I can't thank my friends from ‪@BassBrawlOutdoors‬ enough, Lyal Held and Casey Ehlert are the undisputed electronics experts in the country to ME. Make sure to check out their KZbin channel for expert advice from GREAT Fishermen who actually utilize their units in the field. We will work on some in depth install videos soon.
Thank you all for tuning in and watching this video. Please subscribe to the channel here, and subscribe to the ‪@BigBassDreams‬ channel as well if you haven't already. This is going to be a special year for me so please stay tuned!
For all you guys who look at this and think that you could never have something like this of your own, believe me that anything and everything is possible if we all work for it! I hope this motivates you to #AimHighDREAMBig.
