Sojourn is the best fishing boat we have ever fished in 😎 bring on Sojourn 2.O 😁 chur chur 👍

I Have absolutely no concept of how you guys only have 37,000 subscribers. absolutely unbelievable. you should be at least a million at the moment!

Hit it out of the park guys 👍 it’s awesome to see these collaborations with a builder who is as innovative as you are and willing to engineer an effective workable solution……. I have a Boston Whaler 255 which I love but I am seriously impressed with Marco……… well done 👍

[@larsvegas1505]

i wouldve put a stonger trolling motor though, i got a 70lbs 12v motor... ur stepping up to 24 v u should get 100lbs atleast.. esp in current. they make 36v single lithium batteries now they cost about 1000 bucks on ali, weigh about 40 pounds instead of the 140 u guys put up front... couldve saved a lot on the main engine aswell.. with the weight savings on batteries.. easy 10k savings, and end up with a better trolling motor.. also lower fuel cost... esp if u put like a 150 on there instead of a 200..

Man i been wanting my steering on i huhgr eveyine said no wat looks cool

[@jon3113]

Hmmm, similar design and thoughtfulness into a 30 footish fishing machine with a small tower seems appropriate. Of course the tower design may need a bit of adjustment to support the wide deck or maybe not. But that tower would give you a great platform for filming and also for casting and superior view. After you tent it you could throw a buffet under it. Just thoughts.

[@TheLateralLine]

There is so much scope to all kinds of things crazy cool things 😎 thanks for the comment 👍

[@stephenlatimer1428]

from the first time Sojourn was unveiled to the world its still the perfect boat for TLL the only change is the transom Nato. the trailer is just damn cool. batteries, i have a 2021 Nitro bass boat running a mercury 250 Pro XS with all the minn kota/humminbird/talon fruit n its all run on agm batteries. lithium has lots of things going for them but i know of 2 boats catching on fire due to lithium batteries over heating(they weren't shit lithium's)n heard of others round the world, who knows in the future. top boat lads.

[@Aucklandsaltwaterflyfishing]

Yes if you use lithiums you also need the systems to manage them. I have heard Minnkota motors can burn out due to the voltage draw if used continuously with lithiums. I'd like to get them but on anchor lock in a swift current that thing is drawing a lot of amps. I could loose a hundred kilos if I went to lithiums so they are tempting but untill the management systems become more available I,m happy.

[@TheLateralLine]

Sojourn is in survey and lithium is not permitted on surveyed vessels and I would never go lithium at this stage of the game because of the risk of a fire. We will happily take the extra weight for now 😎 Chur chur brothers 👍😁

Dumb question, but are those phone chargers waterproof? If so, I should look into them. Look perfect. And the tent poles are cool too. So many ideas on that boat. Nice work fellas. Great channel.

[@TheLateralLine]

Correct 👍 water proof and your phone will charge even if the phone is in a protective case 😎 Chur chur 😁

[@jordangrant6219]

It's amazing how different tastes are. You guys and Marco boats have done an amazing job on sojourn, but it wouldn't suit me at all! I do a lot more deepwater fishing and need more protection from the elements, but still an amazing job all round and obviously suits you guys to a T

[@TheLateralLine]

Sojourn is definitely not a big sea boat as you would just get wet 🤪 we love the shallows and being out in the open 😁 thanks so much for taking the time to comment 😎

[@Aucklandsaltwaterflyfishing]

Such an awesome boat. Just need the auto deploy on the Minnkota.

[@TheLateralLine]

We had the choice and choose the manual deploy model as we are really ruff with our gear and it was just another thing we could break 😂 it’s really easy to deploy and stow on Sojourn to 😎

[@brucetitchener397]

It's called a Jesus Bar, but i like "Holy shit handle"

[@TheLateralLine]

😂 ever since i heard the phrase “holy shit handle” ever graphic rail has been called that 🤪 thanks for watching till the end 😎

I have been waiting ages for this video :) Very nice chaps, its a sexy beast.

[@TheLateralLine]

Awesome to hear 😎 Chur chur

[@kenniffss]

Nice. You didn't mention the bracket on the starboard side duck board, but you also didn't mention how you handle the #2's so I'm guessing it might have something to do with that? I have a 20L bucket and a home made ply seat on board for the ladies, luckily no one in the last 20 odd years has needed it for the #2 option! Long may that continue...

[@TheLateralLine]

The bracket on the back is for a 360 sonar that we never use, there is also a down rigger bracket that we never use on the boat to 🤪

Hey guys love the boat and all of the innovative ideas, but the question I have to ask is where does Milan get his skins from, will be spending some time fishing in Northern Australia and really need some sun protection on the legs and let’s face it plain black is pretty boring.

I can see a lithium upgrade in your future, probably get the boat weight under 2t with better capacity to boot.

Couldn't get Lithium batteries to meet survey requirements for the installation. The rules haven't kept up with the technology.

You can get a Awesome Sojourn package for around 150k but if you wanted to build one exactly like our one with everything it has then it’s around 210k. Alloy trailer, 360 degree sonar, down rigger, custom tent, 2 sounders, huge battery bank for minnkota, vinyl wrap, U Dek, ect

If yours was 200k how much was Luke's!

Around 350k for his one with everything it has when he built it but the costs on everything are rising daily 😳

140kg of Minkota batteries??!!!- I hope you haven't used agm, and insttead went for Lithium. If you do not already know the company - SAFIERY, then get in touch with Bruce, and they work absolute miracles and make the best solutions for power for boats and 4wds etc bar none - the BEST!.
