HOW FAST Is My New Fishing Boat?? (Skeeter FXR21 Top Speed)

[@wglennhowells]

Jealous! Be safe man, great seeing these kinds of tests, just be safe, we never want to lose you!

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Love that boat. I'm so scared to take my boat up to that speed on these flood control lakes. So many stick ups and shallow spots. Excited for 2022 for you!!

[@justinkelley7158]

Nice boat and congrats on your KZbin success. I bought a 2021 FXR21 Limited back in September. First time I took it out I was surprised that it chined walked. My previous two Zx’s were no hand driving and full throttle. Oh well just had to learn to work the steering wheel. I watched the video when Edwin interviewed you. Those type of vids are always nice to see how people get their start. Anyways keep up the good work.

[@bigbitesoutdoors1300]

Dang, your up and working early. Love your content! Wish you'd come up north to Alberta Canada during the summer for some pike fishing!

[@chsapeak]

Just watched this video and I'm going to agree with keep your hands on the wheel at all times. I run a go fast boat and believe me things can go bad in less than the reaction time for you to grab back ahold of it. Not to mention that by that time, your boat is going to do what it wants and there's no recovery until it settles down on the water. Hopefully you and your partner will still be in the boat and not swimming for your lives. I call it running on the edge, you'll know the feeling when you squeak a couple more mph out of her. It'll be squirrley and you'll feel what I'm talking about.

Great video Tyler. Always clear, fun, and honest! You’re a friendly guy and please do enjoy that new boat!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@jadengoleyoutdoors]

Great video Tyler! That skeeter was moving!

[@TylersReelFishing]

It really does!

[@trapin68]

The folks at Skeeter (should they see this video) are going to have a heart attack when they see you driving 73 MPH with your hands off the wheel. I'm sure if you asked them they would tell you, "Please don't ever do that again". Tyler...you're smarter than that. Be safe.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks for the wise words ❤️

[@MichaelScottFishing]

you know skeeters love love the weight in the back.. throw some more tackle and crap back there and she will do 76 like mine..

[@douglasporterfield8681]

Tyler, great boat! But dude keep your hands on the street I guess wheel. Several years ago I was fishing a tournament and my partner for the day had just gotten a new bass boat. At about 50mph, he wanted to show me the he could take his hands off the steering wheel. I thought to myself, are you crazy. The boat then hit a wave a little different than before and the boat hit a hard right and it threw me through his brand new passenger console. The console was now wrecked but I was glad I hit it otherwise I would have flown overboard on the port side. I learned an important lesson that day, don’t take chances when only one thing good can happen and all the other possibilities are bad. You have a lot of years ahead of you and a lot of great videos ahead of you. Stay safe.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you Douglas ❤️🙌🏼

[@jeffreyashman9751]

As always a great video. Love that new Skeeter, BUT, please do all of us a favor and keep at least one hand on the wheel. PLEASE.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I will!

[@jeffreyashman9751]

@@TylersReelFishing Thank you. We all understand that the hydraulic steering systems on todays modern boats is great and helps to keep a boat running straight, BUT, just in case. Just sayin. God Bless.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thank you!

[@vichaimoua]

[@cjstammfishing2017]

For chine, slower smoother smaller inputs will keep it stable and the nose pointed forward and straight

[@scottvermonter920]

Looked like fun! Very nice Tyler!

[@jasonpierce1118]

Congrats on your bigg bass man.

[@c.shoefish]

Dont forget to change your engine oil and gear oil....that's important. What were your RPMs at when going full throttle? May not be propped correctly...but that's something you should wait on until you get your boat finished....than prop it, bad ass boat man

[@TylersReelFishing]

Never even worry about re-propping it honestly. That’s fast enough for me

[@c.shoefish]

@@TylersReelFishing not just about speed brother, it's about efficiency also...and if the engine isn't reaching it's full RPM and full efficiency could cause internal damage. If you're able to reach max RPM by raising the jack plate and/or adjusting your trim than you're fine.

[@danielvigil3397]

I just ordered a zxr20 can't wait to get it, but Colorado has a speed limit 😏 I'm going to have to try that in new mexico. Sweet video 👍

[@TylersReelFishing]

So awesome! Not about the speed limit though

I’m glad you found the channel too James!

[@seanferguson6995]

Hey Tyler, a video idea for you, how to keep your boat under control during a chine

[@TylersReelFishing]

Heck, I don’t even know how to do that haha. I just slow down

[@tdflooringtd]

Nice boat, I'm still a Merc guy

[@benroberts6849]

heck yeah man!!! Are you partnering with Garmin this year? Also, if you don't mind me asking, who all are you partnered with this year? I know you got Lews, strike king, bass forecast, Outkast tackle, the bass tank...who else?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Not with garmin yet, just the bass tank

Thanks Travis!

[@lrwilliams3160]

Tyler they also recommended having the engine as low in the water and tucked under as much as possible

[@RyanNichols1]

Really? Where do you see that? I’ve always seen it said the FXR likes to run jackplate high. 10-12+ on the guage. So far mine runs better up there, but I’m no expert w it.

[@lrwilliams3160]

@@RyanNichols1 That was my dealers recommendation for the break in period with my 2021 fxr

[@RyanNichols1]

@@lrwilliams3160 ohhh for the break in, yeah.

[@jason6325]

You really want to take it easy ona new motor for a month. To properly break it in.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Which I’m doing! For the first 10 hours, Yamaha tells you to keep top speed to under 5 mins at a time.

[@djsoutdoors50]

I cant hear you 😂😂 your crackin me up

[@brantoutdoors3095]

Hey Tyler was wondering if you have the manual jackplate and if so what do you run it at?

[@TylersReelFishing]

No, it’s hydraulic

[@brantoutdoors3095]

@@TylersReelFishing do you ever adjust it at all?

[@dhooter]

Not much experience with balancing on the pad?

what was your trim setting at top speed

Are you running stock 25 T 2 prop from factory? I have the same boat, it's never ran 73.

Stock prop

When are the power poles getting put on the boat??

I built that trailer I work at skeeter only if I knew you was there

[@TylersReelFishing]

Shoot! I’d love to meet ya! Thanks for building such a great trailer!

[@adriandavidpayne]

When I raise the Atlas jack plate to about 11 at WOT, it gets Really hard to steer. Steering wheel feels really stiff. Is that normal?

[@TylersReelFishing]

It depends on your water chop and prop type. Mine doesn’t get that tight but I also don’t raise mine that high now. I keep it about 8

[@adriandavidpayne]

@@TylersReelFishing Thank you for answering Tyler! I kinda feel like 7 or 8 is the sweet spot anyway.

[@hatmakerluck4705]

And yet driving a ranger at 72mph is slow to people lol. 70 mph in a boat is fast. I don’t care who you are.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Very fast. I cruse at 50 most of the year

[@tysonprice109]

I’m hitting 72 in my 2007 Z21

[@amc724]

Were you doing something with your middle finger on your left hand? Looked almost like a turn signal lever!!! Not too familiar with what it may be.

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s the blinker trim

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Nice boat, but If I got a new boat with 250 power and it would only do 73 I would not be impressed .

[@TylersReelFishing]

Trust me, 73 is fast enough. And the “slower” hull as you say rides really dang well in rough water. Can’t have 84mph with a good ride

[@curlyhoward6434]

I'm sorry dude, I don't get it, was the point of this video to show us the boat or a video of you?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes

[@6VIERTE9]

Yes its not safe but a Skeeter is the only boat I would feel safe dropping both hands off the wheel at 73+

[@TylersReelFishing]

Amen to that
