Awesome video. Your videos made it easy to choose Skeeter. My 2023 ZXR 20, (color #6) from Wieda's Marine makes life great. First ride during and after break in at Watts Bar a good storm broke loose. What a ride, as in smooth and comfortable. Very pleased and thank you Skeeter. Her name is Holmes, after 1948 founder Holmes Thurmond. The OG of bass boats

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@everythingoutdoors1880]

I noticed you have two 36v lithiums. Only problem in my opinion in they are only 50ah each and you’re only running one at a time. Try wiring them in parallel. Keep the 36v but have double the reserve for your trolling motor

[@TylersReelFishing]

Pro Guide is using me to test a theory: Can I go a full day with my setup (3 electronics and an ultrex)? Our guess is no, for the trolling motor side (One 36v50 and one Ultrex). That’s why I have the spare I will charge on its own and switch leads to on the water if/when I need it. But one thing I did not say in the video, that I will in a future video, is that I am planning on running a brand new trolling motor here very soon that is considerably more power efficient, so that experiment will be re-done. If that experiment also fails, I will just run them parallel

[@rickvann3489]

Cons to your 12volt Lithium vs 36 volt Lithium battery statement even though you mentioned lead acid but let's keep it apples to apples. 1. Very expensive 36 volt battery charger needed 2. You get more out of 3 100 amp hour 12 then you do your 36 volt 50 amp hour 3. I do believe Humminbird new trolling motor will be a 24 volt / 36 like the others allowing for a battery to fail and still use 2 batteries 4. 36 volt does cost more over 3 12 volts 5. I'll personally take a Mercury Pro XS over your Yamaha claim and that's going by years of experience and owning them since 1995 but Yamaha is no slouch they all have issues but SUZUKI is sneaking in there and I believe reliability of it is going to be superior especially the lower unit.

Awesome boat bro! Great videos, very informative and helpful! Is that in Little Elm?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes it was

[@Snoop12922]

Great looking boat. I'm just curious as to why you didn't push it through the chine walk to see the real top end numbers. It is scary to learn to drive a boat once it starts to chine walk, but that's when you are truly on the lhull pad, and the boat will ride like a dream.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Because from my previous 4 Skeeters, the chine happens AT the top end, unlike other brands like Phoenix or Triton. I don’t think my boat can physically get above the chine, so when it starts to walk I drive it a little, but driving dangerously would just be unsafe

[@Snoop12922]

@TylersReelFishing I definitely understand that and would never ask anyone to drive a boat unsafely or beyond their skill set. I am a Triton owner and mine chines between 62-67 mph but top end is 76 mph. My brother has a Bass Cat and his chine walks between 65-68 mph bet top end is 79-80. It was just a curiosity question. Keep the vids coming. See you on the water my friend.

[@weilfast]

There's no driving through chine, it just gets worse the faster you go. You need to keep it from happening, by giving a little steedy left steering input, jacking the engine higher, or running more weight in the port side. Sawing at the wheel is about the worst thing you can do. No hands??? I'll wave when I pass you in my 28 year old BULLET.

Do you have to go to the AMPD factory to get some goodie compartments and add ONS? Or can you call them give them the boat make n model an measurements and then send what u want? Cause I doubt I'll be driving from Alabama to Texas anytime soon✌️

[@TylersReelFishing]

You can call and they will ship! Installing is super easy to do yourself. Now, the only problem is, if they do not have the measurements for your specific boat. At this point, though that is becoming less and less of a problem as people bring their boats in and they add that boat to their arsenal

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’m sorry it comes across that way, but that’s never my intention. I will push back on your argument though as I think it’s silly. Would you say the same thing to someone who makes gaming videos that purchased a nice computer that most couldn’t afford? To take it even further, would you say the same thing to a mom posting about her new baby, when some people in her audience might be infertile? I have GREAT relationships with the companies that help build my boat, and I provide them value though the 10 years I’ve been at this social media game. I’m in no way saying that you are any less of an angler because you don’t have the kind of boat I do. I’m just not going to limit the amount of gear I use because someone in my audience can’t afford it, cause that comparison game would never end

[@UltraMagaFan]

I've been in a bass boat going around 80 miles per hour and it terrified me. I've never seen the appeal of going 70+ miles per hour in a boat that only sits 20 inches off of the water. You hit one wave wrong and you're going to stuff the bow and/or be ejected. You also sit so low in these boats you have to worry about a 600 pound motor and a spinning propeller being thrown in your lap if you hit submerged debris. Which is a big concern for me since i fish in a lake that is a flooded forest. These things are death traps. Going 30 miles per hour faster isn't worth risking your life over. 45 miles per hour, which is the top speed of the current boat I own, is plenty fast enough for me.

[@user-mz2my8zx4l]

This is the most ridiculous amount of electronics on this boat . This kind of gear junky annoy the heck out me . Geez

[@proambass8027]

Gorgeous boat...gotta say I'm a little surprised at the speed. I was expecting closer to 80mph. I have a 1988 374v 18ft Ranger with a 150hp (Not a Bullet) fully rigged and geared out (minus power poles) and can hit 60mph with my current 23p 3 blade prop, 1 fat guy/full gear load/gas etc...and hit 64mph with a 27p 3 blade. Yes I do have the speed on video, on my channel in one of my videos, on GPS on my graph. So i'm not BS'n which is why I was expecting closer to 80mph with a 100hp more and a SHO engine. I understand bigger boats mean more weight but its 100hp more than mine and a SHO. Mine's just a plain 150hp, I'm just surprised is all that it's not going faster, I thought Skeeters had a fast hull, I watched Skeeters promo videos and they get me all pumped up with helicopters flyin next to them sayin their hitting 100+mph etc...so I'm sorry for the comment but it seems like you anticipated this in your video lmao. Super jealous of your boat though, maybe 1 day I'll be able to upgrade.
