My Brand New GATOR TRAX Strike Series Aluminum Bass Boat

[@tombrown7577]

Probably the most impressive aluminum bass boat I have ever looked at. Good video!

[@TimB85]

Gator trax are built down the street from me, definitely one of the best aluminum boats out there.

[@timmaynard1394]

This thing is awesome! One of the best looking rigs I've ever seen, glass or aluminum!

[@markntexas8265]

Every bass guy “I love this boat it’s the best one ever”. Until next year

[@nrxhavoc]

yup easy to say when they get paid to and get a free one every year

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

I’ve had the same boat since 1998. I just repower and upgrade everything and keep fishing. Next upgrade is flooring. That new stuff. Not carpet.

[@colbyjdutton]

[@incognito7018]

When you spend that much on a boat hou NEED to tell yourself it's the best boat ever.. been there

[@terryogletree2128]

This ain't no cookie cutter Ranger , Phoenix , Bass Cat or you name the brand boat These are built to your specific layout using the highest quality materials and quality craftsmanship

Strikes series are so nice!! Congratulations on the sweet rig!! Can’t wait see it on tour!

That leash is awesome. I heard of motors breaking off and ending up between the seats. Boat looks awesome Keith.

So glad to see this brother.. my son's and I are seriously considering getting one. Beautiful well made boats!

[@keithpoche3478]

Go for it!

Keith, very nice! Would love to see a picture of the wrap when it's done.🐟🎣

[@A1K3NFISHING]

What a rig. I’ll get there soon! Myself and my friend that lives up in the Moutains of GA are big fans. You’d be proud of the places we take our glass boats 😂😂 we either say we are doing this for Dale when we are in the trucks or doing this for Keith when we are on the water 😂😂

[@clarkholton461]

need to add some round foam strips around the front boxes to cut down on that boom sound when you close them.

[@corykent7]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@adamportner8102]

Not needed because of friction hinges

[@ColtFunderburg]

Exactly! The first time you close that lid and that "boom" sounds off in the water, she gone...

[@davidweigel2238]

Why not closing pistons?

[@adamportner8102]

@@davidweigel2238 the friction hinges stop in any position. If the closing is loud it's because he is slamming the lid down. If anything he could add foam or a gasket where edges would hit but also the inside is lined with hydroturf to cut down on noise.

[@jeffbridges7009]

Bought a 20 footer with a 250 Susuki on the back a little over a year ago. Great boat!

Like those day boxes and friction hinges, time to get something with a 250 OTG!

[@bobbellow5502]

Keith you need to do a video of your GatorTrax GT boat.

[@ThomasSmith-jp2tx]

I second this.

[@waynefilmalter8516]

That is an amazing looking boat !!! WOW 😃👍🏼

[@adamportner8102]

Need to see it after the wrap.

[@hooksetgonefishing7352]

Keith Poche been following you on your off the grid episodes and MLF. I was wondering how much does the Gator Trax weigh fully loaded down?

[@timschreiber1584]

Sweet Boat! Love the latches and tough hull. If I was buying I would definitely give them a shout!

[@ZethKinnettFishing]

Jealous. Love me a Gator Trax. Tempting to make it my next boat. Was my plan for the first boat but need that $$$green$$$ for the Gator Trax.

[@UnLikeU]

Bruhhhh.. That's a sweet ride... wow. 👍👍👍

[@ericraleigh9399]

Could you please do a follow up and give us some dimensions of the front deck?? Width of total boat on trailer??? Love Gator Trax!!!!

One bad-to-the-bone aluminum ride!

[@Big81969]

Looks awesome, but I'd have to put weatherstripping on all the lids as they are LOUD!

[@captainandrewcrabtree]

Slick rig Keith... I'd love to have one made one day for messing around on in the bay, pulling crab traps, and some bass fishing too...

[@keithpoche3478]

Thanks. They can get you fixed up.

[@handyallaround5776]

i love this boat , i would definitely consider buying one , although im concerned with how narrow the front deck looks , what are dimensions?

[@Aggieland79]

I was looking at the strike series and saw you sold yours. Just curious why you sold are you going back to a glass boat?

[@4ReelFishing]

Nice boat!

[@jasonmausteller2488]

What kind of speed do you get abs still read bottom since you can’t thru hull the transducer for high speed running

[@adamportner8102]

I'm thinking of getting same boat but making it a center console like nitro did back in the day. They make a high center console but I think I'd want it low like a regular bassboat console just double wide.

[@keithpoche3478]

that will work

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

They will build you what ever you want. If you got the $ they will build it. That would look bad ass as I never see any low seated center console.

[@adamportner8102]

I was going to build it but the price was to high. The extras I wanted only added 2k so I just thought the base price was to high in my opinion

[@jdubya3498]

This is awesome! Just putting the current rig on the market and ordering one of these! Lifetime warranty, 250 merc on tin rig tons of storage with the sea deck and tandem axle trailer...they’ve definitely hit the mark with this layout and plans

[@andyyerger9001]

What kind of price?

[@jdubya3498]

@@andyyerger9001 trying to stay close to where the glass rig is/are in the $70-$74k range any extras or customization I’d probably do as money down to keep amt financed to that range. Obviously can’t know what otd amt would be so give or take an amount I understand. Just changed to the raptors and one boat network so hopefully that’s an option on the rig. Jack plate, sea deck, foot pads for poles, would be first options or requirement options. I’ve ran bobs and atlas and honestly don’t have an absolute has to be this brand plate. If you have a partnership with either or a stip from one of them I’m fine with that. Had tons of hits on mine but with weather right now in south no one to pull the trigger and bring a check. So weather, the damn corona I wouldn’t have a tight schedule or deadline for production but wouldn’t want to wait 9-12 months after we get order and options done. I’m gonna go back to website and look at options again on the strike series. The way Keith optioned his out looks good.

[@adamportner8102]

I'm looking at the same boat. Why did you not flush mount the console unit?

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

Because once you cut that hole that is the only unit that will ever fit. And 2 he will use it a year and get another 1. So the next guy who actually pays for the boat can cut it up any way he wants. But the first reason is why every one I know does not cut the hole.

[@tombrown7577]

Wish they would make a flats boat!!!

Impressive ride About how much would that cost Thank you Sir

[@davidseth8731]

Good afternoon Keith my name is David I follow you on Major League bass fishing and I like the fact that you use aluminum boats I live in Fort Lauderdale how far do I have to drive in Florida to see a gator Trax boat and where do I have to go

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

South Louisiana. Deep South. Most people use aluminum boats because like Louisiana there are stump fields. Millions of stumps. And you run over them all day long. I only know of 1 lake in Fl. with wood structure. FL. Is 98% vegetation. So I am just curious why you want an aluminum boat.

[@davidseth8731]

They are much less expensive than fiberglass

[@terryogletree2128]

Fast Duck Motors in Astor FL is a Gator Trax dealer . Give Sid a call , he probably won't have a Strike Series on hand but he sure likes to talk about boats . Been there a couple of times and it's a whole lot better than Disney . Gonna order a 1962 gt w 200hp all laid out too my specs in a couple of months

[@kennyhaworth9606]

Good luck

[@conanruisi]

Man I’m guilty of that too. The other day someone asked me why would you want a stereo in your house. I told him it’s kinda like those guys who drive down the street blasting hip hop and mariachi music, except it’s a house doing it not a car. It’s not kinda like that, it’s exactly the same thing. But I kinda digress

[@2020jd]

How are you liking the boat? We need a vid of her in action!

[@drjaywhitlock]

Gator Trax did a video I believe on this boat on the water

[@MrBassOutdoors]

Bad ass boat but dadgum them lids are loud! They need to add some rubber or something to keep them quiet. Closing that lid while sittin on a bed would run them all off.

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

You can have them put on or you can put on pneumatic rods. I put the rods and lights with switches like the refrigerator on my aluminum boat. And put weather stripping as you say. The weather stripping kinda stops the water from leaving that area for it all to drain out the boat when you take a wave or something.

[@gregsmith3623]

Lifetime warranty, I don't know if another company has that,wow.

[@rickvann3489]

Hopefully wrapping it takes the snare drum sound out... nice build though

[@michaelcarter6371]

Beautiful boat but man that is a noisy machine, be nice to have something to quiet those hatches.

[@stevenmiller7964]

Exactly what I thought. Beautiful rig but when he closed that rod locker it was a bang that would echo through the water. Serious flaw there.

[@earlm9931]

You could hear the echos when he was walking from front to back.

[@outdoorsmavilia]

Thats real nice , real nice . Do you still have your small aluminum river runner ? I saw you at a fuel station early am when i was stormin . That boat you had really sparked everyone up . We could tow it with a bucket truck when on storm

[@kjldsajflkafdjl1027]

I bet that boat hauls ass with that 250 on the back of that light aluminum hull.

[@adamportner8102]

The hull is just as heavy as many fiberglass boats because of extreme bracing and thicker aluminum. This is not your typical aluminum cheap build. This is built like a tank.
