Taking my BRAND NEW Skeeter ZXR20 out for the FIRST time. We encountered a BARGE!

[@brianwidener1086]

What did u do for your low speed porpoise issue? I’ve done everything short of installing a hydro foil. Bad thing is when I’m by myself it drives like one should. I can run 25-30 mph on pad but when I add a co angler I’m still having the issue. It’s a issue with to much weight in the back I personally believe cause we can only have half a tank and it does fine but when u fill up the livewells your back to porpoise. It’s crazy how weight sensitive these skeeters are. I have the Zxr 19. Your 20 may not have these issues. Just curious

Nice job for your first time. Hook the rope to the boat on the side where the dock is, then put the rest of the rope in the bed of the truck with the tailgate down. Back the boat in the water. Once it's floating, put the truck in park, get out and grab the rope from the bed. Then walk it down the dock and tie it down. Put the truck away and you're good to go! Good job dude.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I was making it out to be way harder than it was in my head for sure! I will have to give that a shot when I get it out by myself for the first time. Still haven't taken it out solo yet! Definitely have to do a video of my first solo launch, fingers crossed! Tight lines this year! Thanks for commenting!

The ol C&d Canal. Chesapeake inn for lunch!?!?

[@largemouthblast]

I told her wouldn't that be funny if we roll up in the bass boat! haha!

[@cooper2220]

Wished more boaters did this more often, take someone with you that knows what to do in certain situations someone with experience

[@largemouthblast]

Yessir, I honestly waited until he had free time to get it out for the first time. I was itching to go but just wanted to make sure everyone stayed safe first time out! Had to drag him out, he was cold! haha thanks for commenting!

[@richerwin6397]

Sweet ride, like the color combo. You're a long ways from being qualified for the St Lawrence River though.

[@largemouthblast]

Thank you, it is an awesome looking boat!! I would agree that after 45 mins of driving a boat for my first time the St. Lawrence might not be the place to go joy ride in inclement weather! I have about 100 hours on the boat now. Fished the St. Lawrence river total about 12 days this year. Love it up there, wow!

[@richerwin6397]

@@largemouthblast Lots to see and explore on the St Lawrence, you find yourself looking along the shore at the scenery as much as looking into the water.

[@Bogeypro256]

Really need to follow Yamaha break in.

[@largemouthblast]

Yessir, I followed break in. Actually did a little longer on the second hour than needed. The dealer put the first hour and some change on it water testing it for me. Realized I misspoke in the video.

[@DavidKobal]

Dude did you read the Yamaha manual before taking that out for the first time looks like you trusted your buddy to know what he was doing maybe I am wrong but I don’t think that’s how Yamaha breaks in their motors

[@largemouthblast]

Rest assured mate, the motor was broken in properly. Realized I misspoke in the video. Thanks for commenting!

[@coreypowell7194]

You did pretty good for your first time running a boat

[@largemouthblast]

Thanks man! The boat made me look good!

[@coreypowell7194]

I'm from Delaware too I fish and have a boat too

[@largemouthblast]

Oh no way man! Bass Boat? Where are you taking it out around here? Ill be traveling with the boat mostly, not too much around me that takes anything more than a canoe or marsh boat.

[@coreypowell7194]

The nanticoke pocomoke Choptank all have great bass fishing

[@coreypowell7194]

And that just to name a few local rivers look up Delaware bass nations schedule that'll show you all the rivers and there open tournaments come out and fish

[@josephabanilla3678]

Congratulations 👏I have same boat,I opted for red raptors instead of black….enjoy it

[@largemouthblast]

Thanks man! Oh I bet the raptors look sick in red!

[@Wiscobowhunt]

Is this the aluminum skeeter ?

[@sheaffergrubbs6056]

How you liking your skeeter. ....

[@largemouthblast]

Its been a blast so far! Had only gotten it broken in before winter up here. Going to be getting it out on the water these next couple weeks, so we will see how it fishes soon! Everything is just about to get fired up! Thanks for watching!

[@thesanangelocarguy2435]

Bro I’m looking at the same boat! I was the same way when I got my first bass boat lol. I ain’t goin fishin I’m goin flyin lmao

[@largemouthblast]

Hell Yes!! haha lets gooooo

[@graysonnewberry2647]

these boats run best on plane Make it a habbit to when the boat pops up on plane to trim up to where ur comfortable. Beautiful boat though

[@graysonnewberry2647]

and when crossing wakes u wanna try and hit them head on with ur bow up that makes it as smooth as possible 👍

[@largemouthblast]

Thanks for the tips man! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Tight lines man

[@sheaffergrubbs6056]

Is skeeter a good quality boat

[@largemouthblast]

Skeeter makes a quality rig! I did hours of research before I finally decided on this exact rig. I chose it because it would have cost me another 10k atleast for the same boat with slightly less options from another manufacture. Skeeter also seemed to answer a lot of customer concerns in the 2021 model to the 2022.

[@joel1964.]

Make it a habit to read the water in front of your beautiful boat.

[@largemouthblast]

Thanks Joel! Absolutely will do! Happy Holidays!
