@@OSDoutdoors put the kill switch on, life vest ,tighten tension lever, it will be tight at first but it will get loser at top speed just for the speed run , you will get over 60 and you will be able to hold her straight
@@OSDoutdoors let me know how it goes .then when your done lose up tension ,,,trim her out till water breaks 3/4 back when you get good you should be able to run on about 2 feet of boat ( not into a head wind)I used to race SuperLiteTunnel boats in Detroit area keep me up to date I want one of these...Im watching you
Clean rig I want a 115 on my 653 dbst but worried ab weight being I have a 12 gallon tank and 31 series battery. Can you do a complete walk through of the boat
With that 115 Merc should run 62 with a steering wheel(hydraulic steering), 8 inch setback jack plate, trim tabs and the correct prop! An XS2 115 Merc would hit 64 in a light chop. I have a Gregor set up for speed and safety. That boat will never run as it should with that tiller.
Thank you! Man I’ll be completely honest with you I absolutely love this boat. My only con is I really wish it had a built in livewell. But In the future I plan on getting ahold of a machine shop to see if they can install one. Other than that I love it man!
Bro.....that motor WILL hit 60 if you put it on my 12ft smokercraft! My boat may leave the water and take the F____ off....but hey, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it lol
Too fast for tiller handle. Wow. Mine is plenty fast for river fishing. Just runs 30. 40hp G3 bass type boat. Really not much need for anymore on river systems. I only run 1/2-3/4 throttle on small river canals. On lake, I open it up. But still plenty fast.
@@halohalo2498On the other hand ...I myself have an 2023 15ft High side Edge with a 90 Tiller that will run 65 mph all day with a lil compression , reeds, and lightened flywheel 💯......Oh and of course it'll do behind my truck too ! Before you doubt people and talk shit you should probably do a lil research first . Bayou Boys Racing baby 😜
Lots of respect for wearing kill cord specially on that big tiller.
Always! Just like a seatbelt, we are all trying to live to see another day, no shame in being safe!
Fun times... thank you
Just saw this ! A 115hp Merc pro TILLER !? AWESOME ! Didn't know they made one .
Wow! Man that is a cool boat!
Just see your at 699 Subs. I get to be your 700th Subscriber!
Well thank you for the sub!
runs pretty good and plenty fast. nice!
Very nice set up
More importantly to me is the fuel consumption. Do you know what it is in L/H when cruising around 24 knots?
With a 4 stroke it’s gotta be wayyyy less than a 40 or 50 two stroke
Audrey waiting on you to say that’s a lot of extra weight😂😂
if you run at them high speeds tighten down you steering tension so it doest get squirrely....thanks
Honestly didn’t think about that, thanks for the tip !

@@anthonyxerri5919 I will have to try that out, and trust me, I’ll have my kill switch on😂

RUMPEL!!!
Was your jack plating lifting up?
Nice rig?

I have a walkthrough video posted from when I first bought the boat last year!
first time i see 115hp with handle, i did not know it possible
Can you measure that tiller arm from the motor to the end of the grip?
Why would you want a 115 tiller handle on a 17ft boat?
Cruise with an extremely understressed motor with all the power you'll ever need on tap. Motor will last forever on that boat

What Kick and Jack you got brother? Bobs or Vance?
How legal is that setup?🤔
Does that really matter? 🧐
Almost a year into owning the boat, was it worth it, any cons are you genuinely happy with it or did it get old fast. Love the vids btw

How fast?

Where did you find the green decals?
They were there when I bought the boat used.
Not saying it happened but I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I may or may not have tested a 300 custom on my 14 foot flat bottom😭💀
Yeah sure 😂
Tornado strapped to a 🛀
My buddies timber reaper with a yam 90 runs 55
So I was acutely just looking at this Boat on FB.. Is it rated for that 115? I am in the market for a boat this week lol
Coast guard sticker says so👀
I would actually like to come look at this boat this week!!! I live in West Monroe
just needs a motor leash and youre good togo
I guess if I get one I'll put a 225 on it.
