Excel BayPro 203 on Lake Conroe 8/13/17

Lousy video showing an aluminum bay boat in late day light chop

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Looks like it handles pretty good. How is the rod storage? I’m looking at one, but bass fish 90% of the time.

[@z19ingreen53]

As someone who always had fiberglass bass boats, this boat seems to accommodate chop as a true bay boat. Good rig for my NY big lakes. I'm sold, especially with the .160g build

[@xiongvang1128]

How do you like this boat after owning it this long. I’m looking at one and would like to know your opinions. Thanks.

[@alancummings5651]

Looks rough

[@matthewdoucet1555]

That looks pretty bouncy for just a slight chop

[@scottbyrd3662]

Smoother than most aluminum boats, still rougher than glass boats but not by much. Light weight has it’s downsides.

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

That some significant waves. Coming from all angles die to boat traffic. I think its did well. Try that in a big batoue

[@tommwarneke396]

Gas tank forward makes Aluminum boats bows stay down. Most put in rear of boat as a cost cutting factor. This one is in the rear.

[@zkennedy2217]

You still have this boat? I’m looking at a 220.

[@scottbyrd3662]

Yep, did my winter service this week. Hope to get it back on the water early next week.

@@scottbyrd3662 Would be cool if you could do another running video (running down the lake from console). I am considering getting one of these boats. Thanks

[@mattderrick5343]

What is your top speed

[@scottbyrd3662]

Currently 41 with a Yamaha Talon Aluminum, 14p prop (Actually closer to a 16”p), at 6,300 RPM Made 42 with a Stainless Turbo1 17p (Actually closer to a 20p), at 5,500 RPM Will eventually buy a Yamaha Performance 18p Prop, looking to 42-44 at closer to 6,000 RPM.
