In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Sadly I know this but by the time I saw it and read it. The thumbnail was blowing up and I didn’t want to change it. Trust me my ocd is on fire 🔥 lol 😂
Thank you for posting, greeting from NZ. Contemplating the trophy but for the same money i can get a nice bayliner or chapparal. Love the fact i could take this to the lakes and sea to explore and fish
Do you or any other commenters miss having a regular boat for fishing? Thinking about one after years with an aluminum fishing boat with a nice trolling motor and electronics
I have the body of a god…… Buddha….. after he got fat, not like those skinny Buddha statues in Southeast Asia, more like the big fat Buddha statues with the giant ear lobes popular in the China town malls of the states…… I’m thinking of getting one of these for in Alaska, it looks like fun!
I have never seen your channel before. I have watched dozens of videos on the Fish Pro, from around the world. I enjoyed, benefited and appreciated your perspective, more than any one I've seen before. Love your style. Love how real you are. How authentic you are. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Trust me dude you’ll love it! She’s got power for days. Even sport mode makes sure you want to do it. Almost launched out of the water ! But she’s super comfortable.
I’m glad to see that because I wanted to find out more about it and I wanted to find out of nowhere have the trolling motor but I didn’t know if it had like a cruise control on it and stuff like that the more I see that the more I want it and I’m an old guy I’m 66 years old and I really want to see more about it I like your channel man you’re doing great
I am small dude at 5'4" and been eyeing this baby since it was first released, obviously I have my concern. Honest and thorough review from you sir, really help me made my mind. Kudos!
@@tonyking8446 I have not noticed that. Have you tried apply a little brake while turning. I am able to rotate like a zero turn inside of the boat ramp. I'll agree it isn't like a spark or a FX or VX because its longer and bulkier but it isn't stiff with handling.
@@tonyking8446 let me know ! Be very easy with the brake while turning it is touchy (disclaimer use at your own risk) . But it will do it. Have fun stay safe ! Cheers!
What a great review. Honest and real, as I am going to do the same as you. I am currently selling my 20’ mako and will be looking into a fish pro. Your review was great help for me an appreciated the way you went over all of your pros and cons. You mentioned that 13’ was the length is that with the trailer or without? Thanks for the help brother! Maybe I will see you out there as I am in the same area 😎.
It’s about 13 without trailer . Actual dimension is 12’2 . 16 ft with trailer . Good to know if you want to put it in the shed or garage. Hope to see you out there soon ! Take care brotha and thanks for kind words!
We have cape Florida and government cut we go out of. I’m just like you sold my Boat getting a ski soon! I’ve enjoyed your reviews. It’s made me more at ease to this transition. I am big into blue water spearfishing so hoping it works out.
It's a big ocean out there and things go wrong on a momens notice. If you're going offshore make sure to add an extra battery, a bilge pump, and reinforce all the factory hose connections on the motor and hull.
Nice review! I own a 19 and agree with your evaluation and I've even learned a couple things I didn't know (auto on Garmin for example). My only issues so far is from the same exact trailer. No issues with my trailer lights, but a lot of loose bolts and one missing. I was warned by my dealer to always check the four bolts holding on the plastic tire guards on, but I lost the entire bracket on my passenger side. Luckily no damage to the ski or tire as I as over an hour from home and doing about 60mph on the highway. For me I wish the Garmin was on the left side. Why? It's on the same side as the throttle. Going down the river and wanting to zoom in or out... or anything else, I have to reach over with my left hand or let off the throttle to use my right hand. Both of which are annoying. Overall the ski is awesome and I love the new features on the 2021. My front Linq supports arrive next week and they'll be installed. Having a cup holder this summer is going to be wonderful. Too bad the IDF is not upgradable that I'm aware of. So far once I've had an issue where that would have saved me a headache. You can't always get to what's jammed from the water or shore. I had to get it on the trailer and crawl under mine.
Great video!! I just Recently got my fish pro and have only taken her out once. She is the first watercraft I have ever owed and I am totally blowned away with her. I am looking forward to seeing more informative videos from you. I have so much to learn
Best content every. gritty, down to earth, the regular type of guy viewpoint. Thanks, brother. I subscribed and liked your video, and I will be down in the keys with this Fish pro soon. 😉 Thx
Eco mode I have gone 25-30 miles offshore and the moved from spot to spot out there probably another 10 miles and drove back all on eco with about 67 left to E according to the seadoo. My other videos show this. Also depends on conditions . I always use eco if I’m going that far offshore.
I have a 2019 and totally agree about the chart plotter should have the chip. One little cheat I do is go on navionics and write down coordinates you want and then manually enter them on the garmin. I have 90 hrs on mine and just did the carbon seal. It was totally shot. Id recommend checking inside the hull every 10 hrs or so to make sure everything has been water tight.
Dude, I've been thinking about jet ski fishing alot here lately. I'm wondering if you could get the vivid model of garmin with side scan and mount like you do on a bass boat?
@@dustygable5006 If you can find a bracket mount. I’ve seen plenty on Facebook groups for 9in garmins and simrads. If I come across them I’ll shoot you a link
Hi great video my question is this ski is a big unit what happens if you do flip it is it easy to flip back I have the GTR 230 and is very easy to flip back is the fishpro the same cheers
I have not tried but I’ve seen others that have done this and they are smaller than me flip it back over . But this things is really hard to flip. You gotta really try 😁
Almost 40 hrs I use it Atleast once every trip. And I have a buddy that had one that had a failure and they repaired it. He has no issues since the fix.
Brother......this was a great review. I too am planning on getting one of these fish pro's later this summer / fall , and I can't wait. I'm up here in the NW , and we get some rough surf up here in certain times of the year. But this Fish pro is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for your in depth review. I'll be new too , so there is a learning curve.
Good video man, I appreciate the time you put into this review. I have been kicking the idea around of getting one of these. I am in the same category as you, never been on a jetski in my life yet so if I get one, I will be a complete newbie. I'll adapt quickly though. Debating between this or a small boat. Small boat would be nice because I could take the wife and the dog. However, I suspect that 98% of the time I will be going by myself so I could probably get the Fish Pro and be enjoying it even more than a boat. I also think I would feel more secure on the Seadoo Fish Pro in open water, off shore than in a small boat. After seeing your chart plotter I was wondering if you are in the Tampa area? I live up in Weeki Wachee, FL. near Springhill and Brooksville. I subscribed and I look forward to seeing more of your content with the Seadoo and your catches. Stay safe my friend and tight lines.
Once you get experienced the PWC is definitely more confidence inspiring in rougher water than a small boat. it’s also less of a hassle to get up and get on the water than with a boat, but if you want to have the wife and dog you won’t regret the boat
I think I found my first oops in my video. I am still trying to adjust from boat to jetski 😅 you are right my friend it’s for the jet outlet not the tabs . Nice catch !
Got cha!! You made me kinda excited 😛 I though there was a hidden feature I have been missing. Great video though. Loved my 2019 and can’t wait to get my 2021 out on the water.
Interesting info, a big reason I went with the GTX 300 is i'm a little DIY kinda guy and your video as well as many other's led me to get the bigger engine/faster and just add the things but instead of the 63 echo map I got the 73 so I put on a rear transducer that I installed with help from ... again other's videos, and the only thing I don't have is that extra 16" rear deck, I think there 's a major market out there for anyone who wants to upgrade diff models to match others but keeping the best parts from others, without getting the LImited and the new color screen that integrates with GPS map I instead have twice as large touch screen. One of the things that was really awesome was how well your's and other's videos show the up and downsides to different models, I wouldn't have come up with all the mods and upgrades without that info. For what seadoo charges I bought the Garmin/Transducer and the official sea doo parts from the Sea Doo after market co in Florida and installed it for only $800 I think? vs the $900 for an older model and not including labor and not losing the depth finder vs the inboard transducer, so with the spare cash I also got the depth finder as well
That’s awesome I’m glad my video helped. The GTX is a beast of a machine. 55mph is fast enough for me and the range it has for the fish pro is what leaned me toward it. I’m crazy I’m going like 30-45 miles out sometimes on one tank and such. Now true I wish it had a touch screen sonar and a belly mount for side view. But nice setup you have there. I would love to see it!
@@WhiskerWarsTV I'll update my account very soon with some videos, I don't want to 1/2 ass it so i'm going to do a full video with an overview of everything and break it down into 2 or 3 minute videos so people who only are interested in one thing can just go straight to it , i know how much I love when someone does like what you did and segments your videos, its super appreciated , I do have some pics up though on IG same handle, @imrikkibobbi
The 2022 has a swivel seat, I like that but only if I am bass fishing or in a lake without waves or current. I can see myself flipping over in salt water or anywhere with waves
I appreciate your video so much. We are preparing to buy a pair of skis and I'm really thinking about getting this ski. Thank you for mentioning the recall as well! Very informative
Thank you so much for the kind words! For myself being a consumer on a product that is quite the investment there were questions I had for years about this machine I didn’t see too much on. I wanted to fill any gaps for anyone. I’m glad I could help! Cheers !
I'm literally going to look at one this weekend, and your review helped with my decision. I'm a bigger guy as well, and had many of the same questions. I'm also a FL guy, so I'll be fishing similar conditions. How long is it on the trailer from tongue to tail? I'm looking to store in my garage?
You are supposed to get a map token for farming to download the maps. So did you redeem that? Or are you telling us the token maps don’t cut it and you must pay even more to get a tier level higher map pack?
Congrats on the new ski and first video. I picked mine up about a month ago. A white and blue one and I'm also loving it. Hope to a lots more. Happy fishing!!
I wanted the White and Blue too but they couldn’t keep them in stock . I like the green and gold as well. I was just excited and waited 2 years lol thought it was long enough for me. Tight lines and stay safe!
I am in the Tampa Area been out 35 miles so far offshore! When you pick the right days she’s a champ and she will get you out of hairy situations too if you get caught. Tough little machine
@@benwilcox9988 I just put a deposit on one in Tampa and they said it should be here by the end of May! So hell yeah, that'd be awesome to go with a group.
@@joshboyd6570 that's awesome! Unfortunately the wait list was so long, I put a deposit on the 22 model. Probably won't get till Nov/Dec time. Probably could have searched a bit more, but I'm banking on them upgrading the Garmin, and a few other features by then.
@@benwilcox9988 that was my plan too. I called TB poWer sports to place a deposit and he said “I have an unclaimed 21 model coming next week. Do you want it?” Hell yes I do lol pick it up on Wednesday.
you have the jetski i WISH i could afford but i make do on my 2003 yamaha 700...It's super reliable and i have it set up as comfortable as i can make it without sacrificing room to move around...I absolutely love fishin on my ski because i can get into places my boat just cant and i get from point a to b in no time...I loved the video showing your ski setup, maybe one day i'll graduate to a set up like yours...tight lines!
Yes I have fished with myself and another and we never tangled or hit each other with the rods. And as far as riding I can’t tell the difference if someone is with me or not.
So far with the trim . I’ve gone 38-40 mph hitting 1-2 chop and stayed pretty much dry. Unless you try turning into the waves or wake. Foot Wells might get a little water but nothing major
Dude great video. Iv been really serious about getting one. Could you change out the garmen? For say a Lowrance or Hummingbird? Any way cool video and can’t wait to see more.
I’ve seen a lot of people change out for bigger screens or different sonars all together. I believe the biggest change to make is to changed the mounting bracket to adjust for the different unit .
- Word of caution - Do not recommend but this is how shallow I’ve gone with no issues with impeller. About 1.8 to 2 feet anchored. Now operating less than 3 feet is against seadoo recommendations so when going shallow I idle at 1-2 mph not to suck anything up. If in doubt shut it off and drift until you can anchor. But again warning she will float and get you there but conditions all apply . A windy day I wouldn’t try it because you may be tempted to use throttle .
If you get everything the sound system, IBR, the whole package, plus an aluminum trailer it would be something like 19-21 out the door depending on where you live. Steel is cheaper but its heavier, think if you load in saltwater, but it is great for traveling long distances.
Now I am not a fit guy so here’s my take. Sitting and fishing in different positions. It’s not too bad. You can lay down on the seat too. Interesting feeling. You can rock your hips to the waves . You stop noticing that quickly. Remember to stand after a while your butt might get numb. As for riding in chop, lift up off the seat for bigger waves or you will be pounded. After the day is done you will of felt like had a full body work out and the same the next day or so but as you do it the more you get used to it. I hope this helps
Seat comfort is on point. Very comfortable. I stand every now and again just because it’s good for your legs anyway. I’m usually out fishing anywhere from 5-8 hrs
Great video.....Looking to purchase one for the St. Pete, Tierra V area....Like you, I am a center console guy.....I am new to St. Pete beach and am not at all familiar with the local water......I don't have any watercraft there at the moment, so contemplating purchasing the fish pro, or a small, used CC- like a Sea Pro, Boston Whaler or something....Any though on the pro's and cons of each?
Who wants a video to make your own fishing waypoints and upload them to your garmin? With the way to add waypoints purchased from 3rd parties ?
I'm in shape, and that shape is a sphere
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching.

Good job
Great video!
Good video
Picking one up tomorrow. Same deal have a boat as well. Does your body get beat up ?>
Not anymore ! It’s like a work out once you get used to it and go with the waves 🌊 it’s butter . Like muscle memory !
Thank you for posting, greeting from NZ. Contemplating the trophy but for the same money i can get a nice bayliner or chapparal. Love the fact i could take this to the lakes and sea to explore and fish
How does it go for tall people?
I'm 6'6 will my legs be comfortable?
*any info thanks in advance*
Do you know if you need insurance on Florida for jetski
Would have liked to know if you have trued boarding from back in deep water with and without cooler there ...
Very informative video. What I can't find an answer to is, what is the draft of the vessel?.
Do you or any other commenters miss having a regular boat for fishing? Thinking about one after years with an aluminum fishing boat with a nice trolling motor and electronics
Was wondering as a big guy, do you have any problem getting back on the ski when you're in the water?
Did you use the chair? how was it
I have the body of a god…… Buddha….. after he got fat, not like those skinny Buddha statues in Southeast Asia, more like the big fat Buddha statues with the giant ear lobes popular in the China town malls of the states……
I’m thinking of getting one of these for in Alaska, it looks like fun!
get the knee pads. nothing worse then having my knees hitting that plastic. It's worth it.
I have the audio … but I don’t use it a great deal.
I think it can offend others on the beach … and besides, you can’t hear it when cruising.

turns like a barge. also handles like one. strongly recommend after market sponsons.

@@WhiskerWarsTV I'll update my account very soon with some videos, I don't want to 1/2 ass it so i'm going to do a full video with an overview of everything and break it down into 2 or 3 minute videos so people who only are interested in one thing can just go straight to it , i know how much I love when someone does like what you did and segments your videos, its super appreciated , I do have some pics up though on IG same handle, @imrikkibobbi
Good review man can I get a hell yeah!?!?!?!
Hell yeah ! !!!
Would you wait to purchase the 21 model or buy the 2019? The new one has a swivel seat
The 2022 has a swivel seat, I like that but only if I am bass fishing or in a lake without waves or current. I can see myself flipping over in salt water or anywhere with waves
I appreciate your video so much. We are preparing to buy a pair of skis and I'm really thinking about getting this ski. Thank you for mentioning the recall as well! Very informative
Thank you so much for the kind words! For myself being a consumer on a product that is quite the investment there were questions I had for years about this machine I didn’t see too much on. I wanted to fill any gaps for anyone. I’m glad I could help! Cheers !
I'm literally going to look at one this weekend, and your review helped with my decision. I'm a bigger guy as well, and had many of the same questions. I'm also a FL guy, so I'll be fishing similar conditions. How long is it on the trailer from tongue to tail? I'm looking to store in my garage?
what update you got? last one is 13.3 that i can find for that same unit
Not sure if they made a limited model of these. I literally see nothing but the blue ones now.
Great review, thumbs up and subscribed. I'm one step closer to getting me this fishpro. Best regards from Kuwait.
You gotta let me know when you get it! You’ll enjoy the ride and everything my friend !
You are supposed to get a map token for farming to download the maps. So did you redeem that? Or are you telling us the token maps don’t cut it and you must pay even more to get a tier level higher map pack?
holy shit you're near me lol
Nice to see locals giving shout outs lol !
Congrats on the new ski and first video. I picked mine up about a month ago. A white and blue one and I'm also loving it. Hope to a lots more. Happy fishing!!
I wanted the White and Blue too but they couldn’t keep them in stock . I like the green and gold as well. I was just excited and waited 2 years lol thought it was long enough for me. Tight lines and stay safe!
Can you take the fish finder off completely?
Good info. Thanks!
Very informative...thank you
Hey how long is your trailer? How long is your storage?
Can you change the trim from the handlebars
Are ya in the Tampa area? I am too and I'm lookin to snag a fish pro soon to go out into the gulf.
I am in the Tampa Area been out 35 miles so far offshore! When you pick the right days she’s a champ and she will get you out of hairy situations too if you get caught. Tough little machine
I'm up in Safety Harbor, and going this weekend to put in my order. Should get a group together
@@benwilcox9988 I just put a deposit on one in Tampa and they said it should be here by the end of May! So hell yeah, that'd be awesome to go with a group.
@@joshboyd6570 that's awesome! Unfortunately the wait list was so long, I put a deposit on the 22 model. Probably won't get till Nov/Dec time. Probably could have searched a bit more, but I'm banking on them upgrading the Garmin, and a few other features by then.
@@benwilcox9988 that was my plan too. I called TB poWer sports to place a deposit and he said “I have an unclaimed 21 model coming next week. Do you want it?” Hell yes I do lol pick it up on Wednesday.
very nice review
You got the trailer with the jetski as well or you bought it separate
you have the jetski i WISH i could afford but i make do on my 2003 yamaha 700...It's super reliable and i have it set up as comfortable as i can make it without sacrificing room to move around...I absolutely love fishin on my ski because i can get into places my boat just cant and i get from point a to b in no time...I loved the video showing your ski setup, maybe one day i'll graduate to a set up like yours...tight lines!
Awesome thanks mate for the in for Australia
Do not press the IDF button. enjoy it and make sure you purchase the warranty.
Awesome review! Do you think it would be comfortable and fishable with 2 people on it?
Yes I have fished with myself and another and we never tangled or hit each other with the rods. And as far as riding I can’t tell the difference if someone is with me or not.
@@WhiskerWarsTV thank you for the info👍🏻
Super glad I went with the upgraded color Lcd
So, if you don't drive like a maniac, you won't get wet at all?
So far with the trim . I’ve gone 38-40 mph hitting 1-2 chop and stayed pretty much dry. Unless you try turning into the waves or wake. Foot Wells might get a little water but nothing major
Great review brother!!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I wanted to be as informative as possible !
G'Day Mate
Dude great video. Iv been really serious about getting one. Could you change out the garmen? For say a Lowrance or Hummingbird? Any way cool video and can’t wait to see more.
I’ve seen a lot of people change out for bigger screens or different sonars all together. I believe the biggest change to make is to changed the mounting bracket to adjust for the different unit .
after watching this video, i think i have to buy one. thanks for destroying my pockets mate!
Hi how much did you pay for it?
Out the door trailer and all 19,500
Thanks for the review! Cheers from Downunder...
You have some guts going out in 4 ft waves lol
That day I was just excited I picked it up. I couldn't resist not to put it in the water lol It was not a smart move
Years back I was On a smaller seadoo in lake michigan with 4’ swells close together, I was being launched 30’ through the air...scary
How shallow can this get is it any good in flats
- Word of caution - Do not recommend but this is how shallow I’ve gone with no issues with impeller. About 1.8 to 2 feet anchored. Now operating less than 3 feet is against seadoo recommendations so when going shallow I idle at 1-2 mph not to suck anything up. If in doubt shut it off and drift until you can anchor. But again warning she will float and get you there but conditions all apply . A windy day I wouldn’t try it because you may be tempted to use throttle .
I’ve just ordered the 2022 fish pro trophy . Will arrive next spring
Hey what about the water pump. Does it stay on when the jet sky is off or not.
Thanks for your video.
I am thinking of get my fish pro which will be my first ever jet ski. Good information. Thanks again
Does it come with the trailer?
Trailer is extra. You would think a boat or ski comes with a trailer. How are you suppose to take it but I guess that’s a good business model
Really appreciated the perspective of someone who, like me, is of a larger shape.
Appreciate the kind words!
Great video! Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of getting one and I'm a bigger dude too so this really helps.
Thank you for this Review!
How much did it cost? I’m trying to make sure I’m getting a good deal, it will be my first ski.
If you get everything the sound system, IBR, the whole package, plus an aluminum trailer it would be something like 19-21 out the door depending on where you live. Steel is cheaper but its heavier, think if you load in saltwater, but it is great for traveling long distances.
i've seen some fishing with this that have those side pods that add more stability to it.
how was it in relation to taxing your body ? your back ?
Now I am not a fit guy so here’s my take. Sitting and fishing in different positions. It’s not too bad. You can lay down on the seat too. Interesting feeling. You can rock your hips to the waves . You stop noticing that quickly. Remember to stand after a while your butt might get numb. As for riding in chop, lift up off the seat for bigger waves or you will be pounded. After the day is done you will of felt like had a full body work out and the same the next day or so but as you do it the more you get used to it. I hope this helps
Loved your honest review! The best reviews come from the people who aren’t sponsored.
Thank you so much . I tried to be as honest as possible
Nice video I plan on getting the 2022 real soon thank you sir.
I have the small Ice box… It works well ! i love it.
Buy the large one if you have a choice
Thank you so much for doing this. A great review.
No worries I just thought a different point of view was needed! :D
Great vid~ what kind of throttle does it have?
As far as controls ? It’s lever system and it’s cable throttle
Touch screen s are painful when you hands are wet
How’s the seat comfort?
Seat comfort is on point. Very comfortable. I stand every now and again just because it’s good for your legs anyway. I’m usually out fishing anywhere from 5-8 hrs
Great video.....Looking to purchase one for the St. Pete, Tierra V area....Like you, I am a center console guy.....I am new to St. Pete beach and am not at all familiar with the local water......I don't have any watercraft there at the moment, so contemplating purchasing the fish pro, or a small, used CC- like a Sea Pro, Boston Whaler or something....Any though on the pro's and cons of each?
