Alumacraft Boat WALK-THROUGH!! (My Whole Setup)

[@kapkan4633]

I have the same boat, but it measures 16 feet and 27 inches long....😁

[@budgetbuyer1534]

Thankyou for the "boat" show-and-tell... I'm contemplating a river / lake boat... I've been eye-balling a "used" 1994 Smokercraft 162 Pro Mag. Dual console, dual livewell, dual fish finders, and plenty of movebale swivel seats. Relatively higher sides to help during windy days.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Love the Terrovas. That collapsible spring set up for the lids is cool!

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

I have always liked your boat.... now even more. Can’t believe it’s 18 years old. You take great care of it. The LED’s are a nice touch.

[@MrPHATSPEED]

Nice video. I just picked up a 1999 Alumacraft Dominator CS with a 2007 Honda 75hp 4 stroke EFI outboard. Can't wait to get it out on the water.

[@christamclane2334]

I’m not a dude but I like seeing what’s in your boat!!

[@rogermoss8904]

Your boat is so clean! What is your cleaning routine? Wash? Wax? How often? Wipe down after each day? What products for washing and waxing do you like best?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Wipe down and spray wax after every trip. So, every day. Lucas Oil Slick Mist.

[@rickprange1265]

I'm glad the boat has worked out so well for you.👍

[@____Hugo____]

Great information, definitely a new boat down the road for me. Often pondered an alumacraft, this is definitely swaying me to it, also a huge fan of all things Yamaha. Solid unit Brian 👍🏼

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

You won the reel giveaway man if you missed the live video! Won a Piscifun reel!

[@____Hugo____]

@@KansasAnglingExperience Yeah I missed the live bud, I’ve been on vacation all week at my favorite lake. Haven’t really been watching any of my lives I usually watch throughout the week! Much appreciated it though, definitely looking forward to the other gear giveaways you’re doing. I appreciate all you do for your fans/subscribers. 👊🏼

[@ml8081]

Enjoy your videos, Clinton is also my home lake and underrated. I have the exact same boat, motor and trailer with the addition of a Yami 8T kicker. Agree 100% about all and difficulty getting fish out of large front live-well. Also use stern live-well as storage. Why did you switch from MotorGuide X15 to Minnkota Terova? Compatibility with Garmin electronics? Agree about ladder as safety measure. Would be extremely difficult to get back in if went overboard in cold weather and heavy cloths. Thanks for educational material.

Looking to upgrade my trolling motor to a gps version. This is pushing me more towards a Terrova. Thanks for the update on your Ulterra debacle.

[@chrishartnett9965]

So my apologies up front cause I'm geeking out over this video. So many questions. We have a Alumacraft Tournament 175 which didn't come with the rod locker on the sides. What would you guess the height and width of those? I'm going to build those myself. Is that a Ram mount you're using for your Terrova storage brace? Did you have to do anything special to plug that back live well? How does the heading sensor work with the Terrova? I've got a bunch of upgrades to do next month. Livescope, 93sv UHD, network port expander, and heading sensor. I really enjoyed these types of video showing your setup. Thanks for taking the time to create this kind of content. Again sorry for all the questions.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

1) Probably 8' wide by 16" tall 2) I think I mentioned towards the end that I use a RAM mount stabilizer for the Terrova 3) The valve system is broken and it's closed shut. I just put a plug in the drain to prevent any other moisture from getting in 4) All Terrovas, Ulterras, and Ultrexs come with a heading sensor. It's basically a compass used for the jog feature.

[@TurkeyNate]

Great Video as usual. Not sure of your technique for launching your boat by yourself but you should check out the drotto boat latch system to add to your trailer/boat. Has made it way easier to launch a boat by myself. Keep the great content coming.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

No need for a Drotto right now but maybe someday, I know my 65 year old dad loves his! 🤣

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

Still an awesome boat but could use new carpet! 😎👍

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Wish I had the time for that 😞

[@alexjackson2007]

Great video.. Go Packers!!

[@fmkjr1]

I've got a 98 lunker v16 Ltd mag series that I love! This is my 3 season with. I'd love to upgrade to what you have, its got some features that could be benefited from!!

[@christamclane2334]

Where do you have your speakers mounted? How many do you have 2?? What kind of on board charger do you have for the trolling motor...think I am gonna need to upgrade mine when I get my Terrova!

[@maryandrews6562]

Hi I have bought a 2011 alumacraft 165cs and love it. My question is how do you drain your live well? Mine has a plug and it seems mayb I have to be on plane as it stays in the water. I have a recirculating pump but know discharge pump. Any advise you can give would be appreciated thanks

[@garrettbradley4342]

New here! I like that channel but you cracked me up with “17ft 15 in long. Wouldn’t it be easier to say 18ft 3in long?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Just making sure folks are paying attention. 🤓

[@DaydreamAboutNiceThings]

Nice boat !

[@bobpierce79]

I have the same boat except mine is a 2001. Could you please find out where your dad got those springs ? PS, love my boat too!

[@bjbagsic8368]

How you install the boarding ladder trying to figure out how to get behind that transom

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

This transom wasn’t difficult at all to get to from behind. This was also 2 boats ago and I buy them already rigged with one now.

[@maddogrob7744]

He said “Please don’t be a drum!” Real. World.Fishermen.problems.in.Kansas! Lol

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Lots of drum are always a good sign of a healthy fishery but on the nice, calm days here, it’s absolutely absurd. A lot of power plant lakes are very weather driven, often fishing much better on the bad weather days. Fuckin drum though man...

[@maddogrob7744]

@@KansasAnglingExperience never fails when you get that first big hit, set in, of course thinking it’s a huuuuge walley, then the deep pull begins and you have that sinking feeling inside.....like, well, at least I’m catching something! Lol

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

@@maddogrob7744 I’ve caught enough to know when I feel them hit the Christ out of it that it’s a drum. I should know better. But damn did I need some solid hooksets that day, no matter what the species.

[@maddogrob7744]

@@KansasAnglingExperience catching anything is a good day....

[@fishermanfloyd]

Thanks for doing this! I'm looking hard for an older alumacraft, this helps a ton! Yours is in great shape. Would you prefer a full windshield over a side console? If so, why?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Single. More room

[@budgetbuyer1534]

Full windshield is important for me, because it can get really cold speeding from fishing spot to fishing spot without something blocking the wind.

[@adamhallada9920]

Subbed cuz of the brewers and packers swag

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Haha thanks homie!

[@michaelferik8060]

Been looking for a boarding platform like what you put on the back of your rig. Do you remember the brand? Appreciate it.

[@jaimep1086]

Thanks for sharing

[@lunkersfishingadventures5919]

Hey great videos! One question for you. The see lite adapter you are using for power to your Garmin unit, does it bring your voltage down to 12vlts? Just curious as to the max voltage the Garmins can handle.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

I power the black box and graph with it. Not just the graph.

[@lunkersfishingadventures5919]

When you power up your graph, what does the voltage say on your screen

[@williamriley2528]

Hey Brian... How does your Dad like his New XS...?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

He’s had it for over a year now, he loves it. Would be my second choice on an engine for a repower if I couldn’t get a Yammy.

[@grunt11bs66]

I love my alumacraft voyager 175 with a 90 ho evinrude 2 stoke its 2019

[@johnbauer3445]

I want those springs

[@michaelkartsonis6332]

Beautiful

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

You are

[@jacobb6313]

My boat is a 2004 175 magnum cs with a 90 Honda. How fast can that terrova pull you? I need a new bow mount. Would like to troll cranks at 3 mph.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Just under 3 with 2-3 people in the boat.

[@chadsimon216]

I have a 16ft Magnum tiller, just installed the same trolling motor. Bought the 80lb thrust for the extra speed to troll cracks. Perfect.

[@andrewmerris4005]

What kind of speeds do you get out of the boat setup?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

38-40

[@camag72]

DRUM roll please !!!!

Indeed. Unfortunately.

[@rickkopfler8447]

17 feet, 15 inches?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

That’s the official length of the boat according to the specs.

[@rickkopfler8447]

@@KansasAnglingExperiencethanks for the response. Love the channel. When you said it the first time I just thought you misspoke. The second time I figured I was on the outside of an inside joke. If that’s really in the specs and it’s not a mistake, I suspect we’re both on the outside of that inside joke!
