I work at SeaArk. I weld the ribs in for the hulls. Love seeing these videos like I never see these boats everyday.

[@chrissouders476]

How awesome!! Well thank you for watching and thank you for doing such an amazing job!!

[@myronhigh3527]

Beautiful rig buddy!!! I'm sure that you will be HAPPY with it, all the way around!!! Congrats and God Bless!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

Awesome boat brother. I admire the fact you chose this boat. This has a great price point and looks like it was well thought through. Now, slime it up! Lol

Very nice boat! Wish they would make the tournament livewell optional.

[@SteveZ919]

Just use it for storage or a giant cooler.

[@TNRVG]

@@SteveZ919 I consider it a trip and fall hazard. I've had clients almost fall while fighting fish and tripping over the back deck trying to get to the rod holders. Full access without a step to the back transom is a must in a Catfish boat.

Nice boat. Wish I could afford one.

Thank you

[@dadams1837]

Amazing boat!!

[@ferrellcat5860]

Love the boat Chris . I own a 69 deep v starcraft , one day I would like a sea ark though. Very nice boats . Stay safe brother , might see you on the water sometime .

[@RiverRat-2112]

When you get one, send the Starcraft my way, I would rather have it. The Seaarks are nice but if I spent 40-50K on a fishing boat my grandmother would rise from her grave and beat me senseless.

[@ferrellcat5860]

@@RiverRat-2112 lol I don't plan on parting with my starcraft , it actually sat in a barn for 20 years of its life so it's sturdy as far as the hull goes , no leaks . Replacing transom on it now . I agree that's a lot of money for a fishing boat . I would like to have a wooldrige 33' charter pilot house but those are in the 300k range . Lol Over priced . I could build one way cheaper than that . Actually thinking about it ..

[@RiverRat-2112]

@@ferrellcat5860 If I was to go insane and blow big bucks I think I might do a Stabicraft 2750 Not too long ago another youtuber bought a newer Starcraft and customized it into what Starcraft should be building for the fishing market. If I can think of his name I will link it for you

[@ferrellcat5860]

@@RiverRat-2112 yeah definitely nice boats as well I have watched several videos on those as well . I would actually take one of those over a sea ark . I think starcraft is behind on certain things for sure .

[@RiverRat-2112]

@@ferrellcat5860 Not sure if SC is behind, or just missing the boat (pun intended) A good number of Cat boats are made from older Startcrafts, kind seems to me that there is a market for that if they keep the prices down.

Super nice congratulations

Sweet ride

[@CMmuskie]

Not having center rod storage is a deal breaker for me.

[@chrissouders476]

It was definitely tough losing that. That was one of the best things on the Dynasty

[@davidwalker6438]

Chris, do you believe 4 people can comfortably fish out of that boat? I was looking at the 24's, but also like the layout of that boat. Don't want to buy too small of a boat, right now, mine is ok, but is way short on storage. Most of the time it's just me, or myself and one other. But, occasionally, I like to bring a couple buddies.

[@chrissouders476]

David I honestly think 4 would be a little tight. I’ve had 3 in this boat fishing a couple times already and it’s comfortable but feel like that’s the limit unless they are kids.

[@JustinsFishinFetish]

I really like that boat! Where would you put the bait tank at?

[@chrissouders476]

I just put it in front of the livewell when I need it. The Xtreme 20 is just the right size for this boat.

[@brycenmillerfishing]

Do the float pods get in the way at all when your catfishing out the back of the boat and how much do they help?

[@pschedelicpapa]

So what's the difference between the protégé and procat 200? The front livewell and the rod lockers? I ordered a new procat 200 but wondering if I could have just saved a little bit of money and went with the protege

[@georgeschmidt2350]

Hey Chris, I am a new subsciber to your channel. Your walk thru of the new Protégé inspired me to purchase this boat! I am in the process of ordering mine now, however my dealer stated seaark no longer paints the consoles to match the boat color. Instead they apply line-x to them to match the line-x flooring. Not only do I think this would look terrible, but I kinda feel this is false marketing on their part. PM if you help? Thanks, and keep the videos coming, Great Channel!

[@jwdrummer21]

Did you find out about the console painting? I am doing camo and was wondering about the paint on them.

[@robbiesmith9786]

What do u thank about a anker winch I thank minkota makes one I was goin to git one on my sea ark 2072 mv
