This Is The ULTIMATE CATFISHING BOAT!! (and why I think so)

If I can't catch fish out of this thing, it definitely ain't the boat's fault.

9:51 On my ProCat I put an accessory battery under the driver side console. Lights, graphs, filming lights, random accessories, and camera gear can really drain a starter battery fast. Charging it can be a challenge unless you run a wire to a 5 bank charger in the back (or 4 bank, let the outboard charge the starter battery).

[@geedubb2005]

A man, his boat and his dog is all a guy needs in this world, well, plus a bunch of good fish. Congratulations dude! You hit the lottery.

[@RiverCertified]

That's where my head is at too. I appreciate it man!

[@jimharbison7589]

That's a sweet boat ,well deserved spencer can't wait to see you pull some monsters with the new ride,thanks for the tour

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate it Jim. There's definitely some big fish action coming on Monday.

[@Ray56z]

Fine boat upgrade! When your job is fishing, yt, charters, tournaments, you need all your tackle to meet all your needs. And a boat is tackle in the sense of it. Now that I'm also on a river and not just salt, I've added an aluminum 18', 12 degree V-bow, side console to the stable. Good to see you're back with Lowrance. Knock em out up in north Georgia this winter!

[@jamesm.gilbert3543]

Spencer you have a super nice everything boat. Fast enough to get to point B and slow enough to enjoy it. plenty of room to have 2 or 3 people comfortably. I'm glad for you. You did all the fine detail in the floor plan and personally arranged all of the compartments to your desire? Man, now that's living life not abundantly but living life comfortably. Only you know what you need. That is awesome my brother. People (mostly men) dream of this type of thing I know because I'm one of them. I have a Goal (retirement goal) of this very thing. Congratulations you work hard and deserve this' NOW LET'S LAND SOME FISH. HA! HA!

[@ofallonweather]

Love the new boat, good to see my buddy Seth, hope to see you and take some images of your catch at some Twisted Cat Tournaments.

[@EasyLifeOutdoors]

You’ll be seeing a lot of us in 2024!

[@RiverCertified]

We will definitely be at a bunch of them. See ya there.

[@jeffwhiteside1124]

I put a vertical rod mount in front of livewell. Traveling down the road Fat fish design I put gunnel mounts on the sides when on the water See spreadem planer boards Chris souders has them on his boat if you want to see them Awesome rod holders you will love them Again congratulations ! You gave me some ideas for my boat thanks

[@YAKSonYAKS]

So stoked for you and very excited to see the future fishing trips on it!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man! It's been treating me pretty good so far.

[@mikeolson7188]

The new rig is nice and all that matters is that you like it and it works for Spencer.I think your enclosure/full bimini will be one of the best options u put on the new rig,and you cant go wrong with a Suzuki outboard.Your going to be able to spend much more time actually on the boat fishing now,regardless of weather conditions so hopefully u catch a few giants to test out that massive livewell,that thing is almost Samsquatch size,lol. Congrats on the new rig and remember Ryan said u can always use his boat to go fishin at place the new boat is to big for.So i really dont think you will miss the old jet drive Merc that much when your sailing down the big lakes or Rivers with a few monsters in the livewell on your way back to collect the winning check.Good luck with your tournaments Spencer,your goona win one,STAMP IT!!!!

[@weltboy21weltzin78]

Wow buddy!! Super happy to see you are blowing up, I've followed you for atleast 2 years now. Super happy for you, and love the boat buddy

[@JamesBronson-hy3rb]

Thank you seth for your work on Spencers boat

[@EasyLifeOutdoors]

It was my pleasure!

[@310dancer]

Great Boat ! I was just telling one of my fishing buddies. I think the SeaArk would be the best boat for what I do mainly,fishing pool 14 in the Mississippi river so this would do everything I want it to do , Catfishing ,Walleye ,panfish . That Bimini and inclosure is going to be sweet! Congratulations !

[@RiverCertified]

It would make a darn good boat for all of that I think. I've done a few crappie trips in it so far and I plan on walleye fishing and crappie fishing out of it on the Mississippi this summer. I LOVE the enclosure!

[@Ray56z]

I've shore fished pool 14 but we were mostly pool 19 and 20 on the water. Our fish camp was just below the junction of the DesMoines and Mississippi, pool 20. Had family that commercial fished the dam and south. I've moved to Florida, work the salt, but got to missing the river so now my backyard is a river bank.

[@Capt_Billy]

My followers would know I would be griping about that back deck being in the way. If only the livewell and rear deck was optional! They did do good removing the side rod holders (useless for cat rods in the ProCat). Still a nice boat! I miss windshields.

[@jhpfmj]

I could never have that. I guess I'll stick with my Alumacraft 1232 lol with the old johnson seahorse.

[@angrytrucker420]

The sea ark has always been my dreamboat. Putting 2 girls through college has put it out of my price range though. Youve got the ultimate boat,the beautiful girl AND the awesome pooch. Can you tell im a little envious? Keep up the good work bud.❤

[@AronWitt]

Looks like Santa found you early this year... Congratulations on the new boat. Hope it does everything you need it to and more, and hope you catch a giant. Very happy for you.

[@tktkoftk1354]

A floating man cave! Sweet Boat, most definitely something I need to get one day.

[@RiverCertified]

I never thought of it like that, but now I won't forget it haha

[@bluesdad54]

Wow, Spencer! That thing is awesome. Congrats, man. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate that! It's been a fish catcher so far.

[@terryknight681]

Proud for you. I was wondering when the new rig was gonna make an appearance. Need to get it on Truman and slime it up! Love the rig buddy glad it catches giants

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much Terry. I hope to haul it down there one of these days. I wanna chase cats, but the crappies are something I wanna get after too.

[@TheBestLife35]

Congratulations man, super happy for you !

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a ton man!

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Congratulation on new ride Spencer . I've been waiting to see it ,nice . Nice set up . Know you will enjoy it. I got a G3 2100 sportsman ,and it cost to set it up right. But love it . Kudos man..

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Jeff. They're pretty comparable rigs all the way around. I thought about going with a G3 quite a bit.

[@johncremeans969]

Get a ANCHOR ROLLER/ SELF LAUNCH/ ANCHOR NEST like every other sailboat has. I have one it makes fishing with an anchor really easy. The anchor line is fed through the deck back to my wheel/cockpit area and though a "swivel base /cam cleat". I can drop anchor at a moments notice and if I drop 50 foot of anchor I just grab the anchor rope and walk to the back of the boat and repeat. The abilities deployer anchor at a moments notice is a huge safety plus everyone should think about it

[@baggers-]

Nice upgrade Spencer good ride enjoy your trips and new found comfort 😊

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a ton man. I've been enjoying the crap outta it. 17 hours on the motor so far haha

[@baggers-]

@@RiverCertified you can see my old boat on my profile photo we had some great sessions out on her a few miles south east of the Isle of Wight Google it 😀 you will be surprised

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

Glad you finally got your new boat brother, looks sweet, hope you enjoy it and looking forward to seeing you fish out of it

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much. I'm hoping it has some luck in it.

[@DWSOutdoors]

I am not the biggest flat bottom or Mod V fan but a dang SeaArk would make anyone that lives on the water happy and the fact that you are a TRUE River Rat I think it will be a good "little" work horse for you!

[@RiverCertified]

I think you summed it up nicely man. Definitely gonna be a work horse and I'm definitely happy with it!

[@RadicalLinguisticDescriptivism]

YAY! New boat reveal! I have waited for this day! Looks really cool man!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a bunch Joe! Hope it didn't disappoint!

[@mauricenations7511]

Congratulations on your new home on the water. That’s Awesome Man. All u need now is a small cooking station. Your guest ought to be very satisfied. Sure would have been nice to have kept your other boat. Can’t wait to see some Big Sore Lips coming in over the side’s of that river boat. U need a name for that size of boat. Nice Man

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much. There's already been a few meals cooked in that boat. I have a small portable burner I use. I'll definitely have to come up with a name for it.

[@jimmylowe1233]

S.S.Turdcutter that name is taken.Sorry Man

[@ChasingtheMoby]

I'm glad you like it! I hope it serves you well. Happy fishing man!

[@markbartolowits5354]

great boat, i am going to get a protege , I have a bayrunner from seaark and really like it. thanks for hooking us up with Micka. excuse the misspelling of his name.. thanks again love your work,

[@patriciapowell3824]

Bless your heart Spencer. I am so happy for you. That boat looks to me like one sweet ride. Congrats man. Stay safe and God bless you and yours.😊😊

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very very much. I hope the same for you. I appreciate all the kindness.

[@CastBlastCamp]

Amazing machine ya got there man. Cant wait to see you break some new PB's in it!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man. I'm definitely gonna try!

[@robertwilliamson6958]

KILLER BOAT! And, I think there’s an unsaid rule of ‘all outdoorsman must have blue shop towels in any conveyance they own’

[@johnny7D]

Congrats. Happy you finally got the boat you wanted.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Johnny!

[@maddawgbmx]

Congrats, love the new vessel .

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much!

[@3RiversFishingAdventures]

Sweet boat! While I appreciate the stableness of these type boats, I will never like the giant livewells in back. This means that you have to step up every time you want to go for your rod and fight a fish. Also, these hulls just don't handle big water as well as something with a sharper angle (but that's also a tradeoff in stability and skinny water). Ultimate catfish boat is whatever you think it is and the situation you fish in. I wish I could have 3 or 4 boats then I would have all scenarios covered. :)

[@michaeltate7889]

You are right! I wish I had 3 or 4 boats for each situation! Crappie/bass, catfish on the Mississippi, and a mud boat for hunting!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man! It's tough to have it all. I thought about going with something similar to what you have, but the lack of a big livewell was one of the reasons I didn't. A boat that does a lot of things well doesn't do anything great, but a versatile rig gives a guy more options.

[@3RiversFishingAdventures]

@@RiverCertified yes for sure, I think we are all searching for "the perfect boat" and probably always will be. :)

[@Retiredcop052]

Nice !! Can’t wait to see it in action. Nice Power poles….. they were not at all common during my days. Never saw one during an inspection.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Daniel! It's hard to imagine a boat without them now. I absolutely love them!

[@bradbex9051]

Awesome boat Spencer. Congrats!!!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Brad, I appreciate it!

[@faronmastin8683]

That is a BAD ASS boat it should be a great addition to your fishing trips.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a bunch man!

[@Sticky.Situation]

Love the new boat and puppy Spencer! Very nice! I also miss seeing Woody’s face in the sun! Thanks for the fun buddy👍🏻

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad you do man! Woody will definitely be on some videos. He usually only goes when Ella goes. Unless the weather sucks, then he stays home.

[@krisdelacerda6913]

Congrats on the new boat Spencer! love it!

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much!

[@chadburton4659]

Happy for you man, enjoy the new rig!!

Thanks Randy! I've had a ton of fun in the new one, so that definitely helps.

[@tterbay]

Congratulations on your new boat! Well earned, sir! 🎉🎉🎉

[@TheCreepNDeath]

Nice setup. I like that it can go full cover in bad weather. Hope you catch many giants. 🤠

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Always good to see Skip.. nice boat bro look forward to fishin with ya at some point.

[@silleric]

Congrats on the new boat it's awesome. I noticed you have the terrova with us2 transducer. I have the same one, and if you have the same problem all of us terrova owners have with mounting anything to it,I have a great idea on how to actually be able to mount live scan or any other tranducer to it without taking it apart or having the cord wrap all up. Would be happy to share the design with you,but not on chat.

[@MTM3381]

Congratulations on the new rig .

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much.

[@chrismatsko6601]

Congratulations on the new boat . Hope it gets broke in with a giant soon.

Thanks Chris. There's a few good ones in the video on Monday coming.

Thanks James! She's doing a fine job of that so far.

Congrats man! Looks Awsome. Can’t wait to watch you catch some giants on that rig.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a bunch man!

[@rogerwilliams977]

Congratulations on the new boat! U deserve it! Merry Squatchmas!

[@ffemtp830]

Good stuff Spencer. Probably a good idea to get the wave blockers. Can you put the wave blockers and the extra floats on the rear? With an 80 gallon live well I could imagine it would lower quite a bit when full. Close to an extra 75lbs just on the back.

[@tamserenity]

Congratz man! Nice boat!!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks dude!

[@pstonedawg9576]

Well Deserved !! Tight Lines Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟

Man, congratulations on the new rig. Looks like it's going to hold some big fish here soon.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man. It's treated me pretty good so far.

[@mulldrifterz6469]

So we meet the boat you'll be catching the 100 pounder out of next year. Excellent.

[@RiverCertified]

I'm definitely gonna try to make that happen!

[@terryrathmel7496]

O my! That's nice! Moving on up!!

[@steveburlingame1935]

Verry nice boat glad u got it lets see ya put some big fish in it

[@FishingKC15]

Sweet rig brother! Hope I can get up there for a trip sometime!

[@XtremeBUZZ]

Mr. Spencer, congrats on the protege, so question about something, between this boat and the previous seaark you had (I believe it was the 2072) if you had to buy one that would be a do all boat (including hunting and hauling a few deers possibly) and a couple people and to go fishing, between this one and your old one, which would you go with? You put the Seaark Jons on my watch list, but I’m back and forth on a boat. I’m hoping in the next year I could pick one up. Thanks! Again, sweet boat, can’t wait to see giant fish in the live wells, (I know this video is a few months old)

[@roberthowe5315]

Luv the new boat Spencer looking forward to see the upcoming videos

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Robert. It's been a pretty good boat to me already.

[@FishingKit]

Sweet rig dude, was wondering when we would start seeing it.

[@RiverCertified]

Definitely a lot more. I love this thing so far.

[@mamaj_fishing]

You know I like it! 😅😅😅 - Very comfortable and fast!

[@RiverCertified]

It's broke in too now. She goes quite a bit faster! Hopefully you catch a bigger one the next time!

[@BrandenPassey]

Try looking into a SCUTE rod case for storing your rods

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate that man

[@davidmiller3089]

Nice looking boat and functional. Waiting to see how you set up the Bimini and if you sleep overnight in it. I have a 190 sylvan walkthru.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks David. Monday's video will show the whole enclosure. It was a rainy one.

[@user-jeffalford]

Been looking at boats lately myself. I believe I'm going to go with the same one.

[@RiverCertified]

Hope you like it as much as I do man.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Awesome boat man!! Can’t wait to see some fishing out of it

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks dude! First one will be monday with a few biggins.

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

The perfect boat, so amazing! And a giant livewell! Hope to see it in action soon, my friend 😉

[@RiverCertified]

I love it so far! Monday's video will be a good one!

[@JesseGrayson-r4k]

Man awsome boat. Idd be like a kid in a candy shop….. man you should come catch some Oklahoma giants….. I’m trying to get my boat ready for spring. I wanna start a guid on my home lake

[@mikelanius2974]

cant wait till march man to go out on the water with you. i am going to trade my boat i have now for something like you have i hope in a year. keep tight lines and fish on

[@RiverCertified]

It will be a fun time man. You'll get to see the layout in person and hopefully give you some ideas on how you want to rig yours out.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Frickin COOOOLLLL Spencer 🤙✌️🤘, hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁⛄

Thanks Jerry, I appreciate that

[@fishing_fam84]

Now that's a sweet rig!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks a bunch!

[@TonyLoman-hb3cr]

Nice boat not being from around your neck of the woods i was wondering if your area or areas around where you fish are being fished commercially for pay lakes and if so do you see a impact on the fishing i saw a video where one family on the Missouri River cought a million pounds of blue cats last year i live in kentucky and they have put a size restriction on our fish and as always great video you do a great job with your videos and content of the videos

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

I like that boat. I think you will really like that suzuki engine. Those things are as reliable as you can get. Those and yamaha. Might not be the fastest engines, but ill take reliability over speed anyday!

[@predsd1]

Check out Chris Souders boat walk through. He has some pretty sweet rod holders that mount on the port and starboard sides of the windshield.

[@RiverCertified]

I watched one of his videos, but I must not have seen that one. Rod holders like that would be handy.

[@jeffwhiteside1124]

I like your light setup on the bow. How is it working for you and what led lights do you use?? I've struggled getting light that work for me . Thanks

[@ifishcatfish]

thats a proper catfish boat. Hopefully they gave u a good deal!

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you sir. They treated me pretty good.

[@IEchuckie]

Glad we could buy it for you. Enjoy

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate it for real, and all the clients who book trips.

[@flin6677]

Nice Rig! Skip? Where's Woody? I must have missed a video or 2. Keep it up Spencer, still love watching you catch them flatties

[@RiverCertified]

Woody is good. I wanted a dog to take fishing more. I'll have some flatheads in videos next week.

[@rubbabubba6489]

That's a great boat! I can only dream of a rig like that. I was wondering what were the factors that led to a console over a tiller? Any practical reason other than comfort? I've been shopping tillers and wondering if I'm missing something

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man! Comfort is the main reason. Having all the electronics right in front of my while I'm driving is nice too, but mainly comfort.

[@atuuschaaw]

Sweet ride! Can't wait to see her on the Tennessee! Does she have a name? 😉♥

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you kindly sir! She's unnamed at the moment. I'm gonna put some thought into that one.

[@joshclark7837]

Awesome rig spencer well deserved what are all the switches on the co pilot side?

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Josh. I believe those are for the washdown pump. I haven't messed with them though.
