Love the wrap bro. You are correct about having to have the livescope to stay competitive and it's a neat look using both the perspective and forward facing together. I'm not a fan of livescope and that type of fishing myself, but this is your livelyhood and you have to take advantage of what's necessary to be competitive. Of course i do have a garmin ultra and forward facing livescope that i take advantage of when i'm looking to catch me some crappie for the freezer. Awesome boat dude.

[@patrickwilliams197]

That is a beautiful boat. I'm elated that you went back to red. Popping my friend.!!! Can't wait for you guys to get back on tour and provide us with not only fishing knowledge but also lots of laughter!

[@Smalltechguy]

Oh yeah get ready for some more pitching in a cup and who's got to keep the big banana...lol

[@Yup2024]

MDJ, imagine having a Z520c 2019 ranger with 64 hours on it, bought it brand new in 2019, electronics and not really understanding how to use what I have! 😂😳🤣 That’s me. Weekend fisherman, entered a few tournaments. Do your thing, ya’ll are all an inspiration to me. Am still learning what I can from you Pros! Blessings to you and yours!

[@skynetlabs]

Quiet, chim-chim...

[@markkendrick01]

What's up Mark! It would be awesome if we could see these new units in action on the water in detail. If you could point out the purpose and function of each unit while on the water that would be very educating! Best of luck in the coming season!

[@onceaintenough]

🔥🔥🔥. Looks amazing! From the Ranger to the Garmins-my favorite brands!

[@MosesFishing]

Its wild how the electronic game has made almost another full time job added to your schedule... the days of just breakin in the motor and gettin a line wet and getting tackle in order is now just a piece of the puzzle... you got weeks ahead yet of just dialing in the units... on top of everything else! Busy schedule for you pros nowadays... hats off to you guys! Alot of work to put in! Go gettem ding crew!!! 💪

[@MartinGoesFishingCT]

@markdanielsjr I am all for someone like you (pro) doing what you need to do to be competitive! As a fellow fisherman that “looks” like you, I’m rooting for your bro and hoping nothing but success in 2024!

[@dansteiner5644]

Love the set up. If it works for you, use it. If not, make the changes as needed to get it right for you. Good luck this year Mark!

[@wilsonpe]

For the charger, add a single bank charger and wire the AC connections together for the two chargers so that you only have one AC plug to connect for charging.

[@brettlatta]

I did this as well and just got a two way power splitter / extension cable. Works like a charm.

[@A350-dy4tp]

Best color scheme in the game, that boat is sharp!

[@mikevictor3698]

Looks amazing!!

[@brianberry23]

Mark, Noco makes a dual plug for your boat. One male on the outside to two females on the inside. Just install a single charger and plug it in to the other female plug. Pretty quick and easy fix.

[@daniel_fogle_fishing]

Or just buy the Minnkota MK 550 charger

[@hammerz7723]

Awesome boat bud congrats have a great successful year im pulling for ya 👍

[@bkormoski1]

DAMN! Love it

[@jasonlamberth9043]

Sweet rig. Can't wait to see it out on the water. Good luck this season.

[@robpatterson2441]

Great rig, Mark! Recently retired. Added Lowrance Ghost, 12' HDS Live units (Bow & Helm),Active Target (FFS) and a similar foot-controlled turret to my Bass Tracker aluminum boat 2 yrs ago and love it!

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

MDJ what's up. Im so ready for this year to start need some action from you and the crew. I love the channel. KZbin you guys are lucky to have this dude 😎 go getem boy. Keep catching them biggens

[@keithpinkerton2933]

Dreaming about it. This senior citezen that just started fishing a few years ago has a lot of fun with a 518 with 9" graphs has a lot of fun. Love learning about the game. Best of Luck this year

[@timschreiber1584]

Slick rig! I love forward facing sonar been using it since they came out with the panoptic with the 93 SV updated to 12 inch echomap ultra with the 34 three years ago. Retired 5 years ago and fish 2 to 3 times a week. Keep it up MDJ love your content

[@johnnyweaver1300]

The best way to fish is being organized & it looks like it is, really slick, to be the best you gotta have the latest & greatest to get an edge on the competition these days, hope you reel in some trophies this year!👍

[@michaelking4296]

Love the new rig bro . I love me some Garmin. Got 3 up front on my 26 foot ranger aluminum boat with the 300 hp mercury . May God continue to bless the Ding crew and yalls families . With love from Goodrich Texas . Can't wait for toledo bend to kick off the 2024 season for yall .

[@randymcgee9176]

How sweet they did a top notch job I can’t wait to see you boys back on the water California boy checking out good luck

[@bluescoins1199]

Nice set up, I ended up putting a 3 bank and a 2 bank charger in my my boat. 3 bank for trolling motor 2 bank for cranking and electronics

[@Sydney112498]

That is one sweet rig..brother you’re truly blessed..

[@garyworsfold4858]

Beautiful rig MDJ, looking forward to this next season. Go get em!!

[@kelcey_derrick_fly_fishing4808]

Looks absolutely amazing!!

[@nethiabrown1508]

Love your New boat cuz can't wait to see you out on the lakes catching some Big Bass.

[@MegaBassbite]

Man your boat is hot..super clean job on all the installs...as for all the screens..lol gotta do what us gotta do to stay competitive ...personally I jave two 10" humminbirds and no forward facing not a fan but for you... gotta do it it all!! Best of luck this year 😊

[@phillipcoleman8759]

Good luck to you on the upcoming season. Looking forward to seeing you on the winners block alot this year.

[@maack791]

NOCO makes a charge port with a "Y" that has 2 AC plugs on the back side. I see Ranger now factory installs their charge port so no drilling if they install the charge port with a single AC plug. Then you can add their 10amp single bank. Got my NOCO Genpro on the way. Im envious Mark and happy to see you're living out your dream! Always watchin from Cali 😎

[@tomegunfishing]

The white wrap is super clean, bruh! It's a really cool setup. Noco and Minnkota both have 5 bank chargers. I love my minne.

[@daleb2786]

Can't wait for the Season to begin and to see the Ding Boys back together again

[@robertbohannon2286]

I like the light set up in your garage! The Ranger is pretty sweet too.

[@osmos3]

Whew! That is a heck of a setup! I'll ask Wetumpka about re-rigging my electronics when it's time!

[@rogerglasco5941]

Mark, we are your fans. When you fish for a living meaning feeding your family, the wife and her shopping trips, The house payment, utilities, taxes. You have to use all the latest tools to catch those little green things. It is about you making enough money to meet all your needs. PERIOD. Wish you the best this year. We will be following you. We will pray for you and your family. Remember, Faith in God giving God the glory, then family and friends. You are the PRO.

[@smalltownbassfishin1247]

🔥 Good luck this season brother. God bless and safe fishing!

[@briandavis5414]

That's an Awesome boat... MDJ all the way, Good luck this year!

[@eddiemook84]

Sweet Mark looks really nice. Here’s to next season brother peace and God Bless

[@Steve13lb12oz]

You’re going to love that rig. I have the same boat. Has good top and but most of all, it’s smoooooth.

[@captainandrewcrabtree6535]

Slick rig.... nothing like the smell of fresh fiberglass too! 👍

[@kendallboyd869]

So happy for you bro! Nice boat and setup. Do your thing on the water and go catch some big ones! 🎣

[@pvd354]

MDJ, from your supporters in Alexandria Louisiana...... that setup is badass!!!

[@Freedomfishingtuglife]

Wow beautiful "Tug Life"

[@kirkohalloran8966]

Sick set up!

[@ericmorton9570]

Best of luck this year Mark!

[@jameslovelace8958]

Welcome Back Bro! I’m excited for a new year!

[@fultz.c92]

Met #MarkDanielsJr. at the BassMaster Classic 2023 in Knoxville I'm here to tell ya he is an outstanding guy as real as they come super easy to talk to good luck this season and what a sweet looking boat this year.

[@jimmysmith8085]

Those guys are the best

[@rogermoore3270]

I added another two bank charger when I put in my dedicated electronics battery. Only needed a single but now I have a spare charger circuit if something happens and it was nearly same price.

[@benbrownlow5007]

Sweet rig as always!

[@mattjohnson1333]

Mark I don’t blame you at all and I was honestly thinking about doing that to my Skeeter next year so definitely make a lot of videos about your set up. I’m very curious about how you like it what you don’t like and I’m also building a house right and I absolutely you this is crazy. I designed my garage exactly like yours Was thinking about doing the shaft drive on the garage doors though, but I see since you mount the overhead garage door motors right up to the ceiling it’s not even an issue, but good luck this year, sir

[@randywunderlich6315]

Nice rig!!!! Good luck in 2024!!!!!

[@user-xm8rf6ik7b]

Awesome garage bro , you have done well for yourself 👍

[@davidholland9860]

Sweet ride, man!

[@tonyparsley641]

Hope you’re going to have a better year this year than last year

[@1970pdavis]

Nice setup dude...she looks good🔥🔥🔥

[@DLPfishing]

I’ll be heading to Wetumpka Marine next week to see Steven

[@scottbrewer2221]

I still say the best looking boat on the water.

[@Parkersgrow31319]

Nice setup ✌🏿💯❤️

[@codyhooser3333]

Let's Go Mark. Let us know what you think about it all. Can't wait brother..

[@NickGoesTrucking]

Lets go MDJ!! This is your year bro, go tear em up 🫡

[@jerimydeloach1556]

My only problem with ffs Is the cost I want to get one especially to help out my son in his school bass tournaments buy right now I can't so with that being said I'm not against it and I'll keep fishing the way my grandfather taught me and how I'm teaching my son! Keep doing these awesome videos and attempting to keep D.C strait!!

[@russb296]

Absolutely gorgeous setup Mark! If only I hit the PowerBall...lol..Like you said it's crazy expensive....I think back at the two new boat purchases in my life ('92 and '06)..Crazy to think that both were under $30K...That basically buys the outboard these days...Wish I had kept my '06...because it's even crazier to see what nice older rigs are selling for!

[@CB4basser1]

Good comment. My boat brand new in 2005, 18 footer, $25,311 plus tax. Needed a new motor recently, maxed it out 175hp= $24k with labor.

[@markb9546]

Older rig market has plummeted since COVID ... used boats are sitting for weeks after multiple price drops. Glad I moved my '11 Z519C when I did.

[@crankintanks2092]

Great video buddy

[@chantzbirch1151]

🔥

[@starwars095]

Hey Mark: great video as always. The new boat looks SICK!!! I thought I saw a quick blurb on line that you switched to Yamamoto baits so what’s up with that? PS Good luck to you in 2024…🎣🤔😎🐝

[@Crankinstien]

Hope I hit the lotto sometime. Congratulations

[@cattailcreekfarm2612]

I have a similar setup on my Ranger z520....add a 1 Bank NOCO 10amp Charger...that's what I did..so, two extension cords or use a external power strip..

[@CoachD386]

Yesssir 🔥🔥

[@2141duckhunter]

I fought the same battle in my Ranger running 5 batteries on the charging issue. Had my spare lithium wired parallel to my cranking battery and my 4 bank charges them perfectly. You may need to switch your AGM to Lithium though. No more charging with 2 systems… ✅

[@michaelconnally1785]

Bro that’s nice

[@jessevowell2554]

Mark!💪💪💪🎣

[@davidharris4030]

I think if it makes you comfortable while fishing 100%!

[@TravisHolmesFishing1534]

Sharp boat

[@RodWynnFishing]

Love the “I thought that one LOOKED the BEST and was STURDY” aka #FunctionalFreeh (I coined that phrase)

[@patrickzajdel]

Sweet setup MDJ! You should consider a bigger electronics battery. If that is a 100ah, you will be running her dangerously low on those practice days with 5 graphs and 2 scopes.

[@RodWynnFishing]

Legit video!

[@bill-qv3er]

Looks great Mark!! You need to ditch that BPT mess and come to the Elite Series!!!!!!!!!!

[@Therapy-n-Session]

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@wmkoehler3942]

Nice rig mdj

[@isaacmcmath4437]

Love your boat, I was wondering how you are going to put your cover on your boat for traveling when you have that livescope pole on your trolling motor?

[@rickvann3489]

To hell with it, I can't keep up with the Daniels I'm stuck with a 2022 Ranger 520R thanks for making my 2024 suck already. It's forsale about 30 hours on it

[@kyleheinz6785]

Boat is sick!

[@reginaldbuie6735]

Mark Deezy....that's beyond anything I've ever seen on a boat. I'm trying to get my 1992 Sprint 255 setup so I can finally hit the lake without depending on someone else to go fishing. Just bought a Garmin UHD 93 sv for it today. Should I bother with spotlock? Oh yeah, if you make an honest living using forward-facing sonar, then use it until the wheels fall off.

[@mw8270]

She’s lookin clean and meeeaaaannnn, she’ll take a diesel👌👌

[@JGelsthorpe1]

Mark just get another 2 bank or single bank charger and just tie the power supply. It’s way less than 15amp draw. So you can have 1 single plug to plug in. That’s how I got mine with 5 batteries

[@kvaughn1573]

I feel yo pain I gotta run that 2nd charger too 😂

[@packerfan8374]

Like I said a lot of people stay away from white boats but that is indeed a cool looking boat

[@dougjack3532]

Hey, like the layout of your boat. It fits you. I'm trying to decide if I want to get the front forward sonar. I'm a average fishing guy, at least once a week, maybe twice sometimes. It would be an investment, so I'm wondering what you think about this?

[@samsportsman929]

Feed back is must be nice your electronic setup is nicer than my home theater

[@ciscoamaro2772]

Question: what’s your pre tournament routine? Any superstitions? What do you have to have or do before a tournament

[@arrondubuque9403]

Im a bank fisherman. There are times i wish i could have that tech from the bank. Ive never also been out bass fishing on a boat. I always pond fished in northern California. Or bank fished in Shasta Lake. But having the tech to fish is the problem with the people that cant afford it. Just fish. Dont need it if you just want to be out at the lake having a good day

[@shimanoshane4020]

You’ll have one of the best rigs on the npfl next year!

[@greghoward3099]

I’m really leaning towards garmin for my rig has garmin always been your go to or hummingbird

[@traceybrookd9821]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bnicebassfish]

Bruh that setup is my down payment on a new boat 😂😂

[@bgood419]

Cornfield fishing gear makes a much better more stable FFS sonar attachment. It turns smooth and doesn't shake so bad like that. It looks like it's gonna vibrate that unit to death going down the lake lol

[@jasonmausteller2488]

What charger do you use for the starting battery

[@jamessheppard6973]

Nice rig. Will there be any interference with two transducers?

[@claytonbrown2656]

What is the puck used for on garmin and which one is that?
