LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!
Richard, I appreciate that you work with what you have, rather than constantly buying the latest and greatest. You fish like a working class or frugal person who knows they can only spend their money once. There is nothing pretentious about you and you come across as relatable and approachable. Thanks for keeping it real.
Hit the nail on the head.
You are not simple minded sir, you are a simple man. The world needs more of you, that is for sure.
Great advice Richard! I’m a marine mechanic in Guntersville, 75% of all repairs are due to ethanol in fuel which begins to break down after just 14 days. Even “Non-ethanol” fuel can still (and does) legally contain up to 5% ethanol! It’s a disaster for boats. Use star-tron every time you touch a gas pump guys! God bless and great video Richard Gene!
Richard the floor looks good to me already. I wouldn’t have even known had you not mentioned that it didn’t come that way. Love the show. Keep it coming.
Exactly. Totally agree. Save the money.
I just learned more about boats in 15 minutes, then anyone has been able to teach me in the few months I've been looking into them. Love all your content! I'll be looking forward to more.
Richard, you should do guides. I would pay good money to come fish with you.
Agreed,love his personality
I second that!!! I would love to fish with you
I’ve asked him since he started.
Me too 🎣 yes I would pay good money to go fishing with Richard Gene the fishing machine and I don't live that far away from hem either so. ❤️
I agree!
viewers can tell you are one fine selfless fella..........we can tell.......and im grateful too !!!!
Hello Mr. Gene !! I ordered a new 1860 center console 2 months ago and picked it up Monday. I also had them put on 70lb thrust power drive. It was extremely windy in SC today and that 70lb thrust held my boat in place on spot lock but it definitely had to work to do it. Hopefully this info helps !! Thank you for all the videos and information you put out. God Bless !!
Congratulations Richard! Prayers for many years of fishing pleasure.
Nice setup can’t wait for some new creek fishing videos
It's always good to see people giving God the credit for their blessings.
Wow. Yet another video that’s packed with innovation, experience, knowledge, engineering, fabrication, you name it. I’m starting to suspect that Richard is real smart.
I have a 112 lb thrust on my 17' 10" Ranger 354v. Everyone said all I needed was 80. Well I'm glad I got the extra power. Helps tremendously in wind. I had 55 lb thrust on my 1436 Jon boat. You'll want more trolling motor, and I recommend holding off until you can afford to get more power than you think you need. You'll be glad you did.
Great stuff Gene! Yes, yearly maintenance and even more frequently in the salt. The best to you and yours.
Hey Richard, see those bunk guides on the back of your trailer? I put a set on toward the front of the trailer to force the bow of the boat straight onto the trailer. Especially handy when trying to load the boat in a high side wind or current.
Is that something you fabricated yourself or can you buy them somewhere? I could sure use them on my trailer. The winds in KY make trying to get out of the water with my boat like wrestling with a two-headed hog!
Love the new boat Richard, hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to the upcoming catfish video's on it.
I like the walk around on your new boat!
Richard you don't need a depth finder all you need is a mud hole I know you can catch a fish anywhere!!! So many the mud hole dried up Lol !!! Love ya keep em coming God bless !
Good video my friend. For the new boat, in my opinion, as you don’t worry about the floor paint, looks really good. I will not own another tiller engine because of my age and shoulder problems. I put a stick steer in my river boat and I love it,$300.00. If your motor has the connection for steering, then it’s no problem. Those big boats and big motors take some power to steer once loaded. The trolling motor is to small, need a bigger motor, then you get into 24 volt systems to. I switched mine to 24 volt and 70 lb and it works great on my big boat (18.5’ Sylvan deep V with walk through windshield). Just my opinion. Thanks again fir sharing.
I would have never known that you painted that floor, you did a great job. The fish don't mind at all. Lol Thanks for sharing, nice looking rigs.
It’s always a pleasure to listen to his videos.
Now this is the video I've been looking for. A nice walk around on your boats. I agree about the center console being in the way, but I've never had a tiller steer motor so I'm mot sure how it would change boating for me. However, a clean and open floorplan on an 1860 boat does look appealing.
Thank you, Richard, for always putting out great videos. Entertaining, educational, comfortable as can be, with a touch of Woo from adrilagen from the great sport of fishing.
I'm 50, and have a small 1966 fiberglass deep v Hull boat 16' I think. I'm about to put a 9.9 Mercury tiller steer on it, and I appreciate the advice on the service tips. God bless you and your family Richard.
Like your new boat Richard thanks for showing us it I have a 175 Yamaha on my champion love it and it's a 2003 and is like new because it has always been taken care of your right do your maintenance they will last great video thanks Richard GOD bless you and your family Richard
Richard, will you please list the information on the switch you added to your trolling motor? Also, I'd like to take this time to say I absolutely LOVE your channel!!! I share it to others constantly. Keep doing what you're doing. Your subscribers appreciate you.
Nice Richard, you are on my bucket list to fish with!😁 God bless you and all you do. Your friend from Tennessee
Richard you remind me of my grandfather. He was particular about his equipment and believed in taking care of it ! I still have his old 60 model boats and tractors he took care of!😄
Those wide boats are perfect for the flats in the gulf of Mexico for speckled trout fishing. Nice ones you have. 👍 Wooo!!
I'm glad you got a boat to catfish in, I sure hope you do a lot of that this year!!
You've got a video for every question that pops into my head! Thank you so much.
I love your spirit and your channel. Many blessings to you brother!
Richard: I agree that good maintenance will save lots of dollars in the long run. I have a 2002 50HP Yamaha 2 stroke. I bought it new and it still runs like new. I’ve had it in for service twice. A new fuel line connection and a new impeller and I ‘m back on the water. Tough reliable and problem free. Also easy for me to do most maintenance. Our ice just went out. Can’t wait to get back on the water. Thanks! God Bless!
Hey man I am happy I got u a new boat u deserve it bud
Richard I love any boat,as long as I'm fishing, don't matter what I'm hookin', I'm a happy Fisher. Just being on the water,whoa boy.
Congratulations on the boat Richard. I have a 1548 sportsman and it is great. Make sure to keep it under the shed when not in use! the biggest complaint with the grizzlies is wet heavy foam. Good luck and tight lines.
I watch your channel too Buck Creek TV
@@chrisbarr5289 I appreciate that thank you
You touched on some important details here Richard. Can't wait to see a monster catfish laying in the bottom of that new boat!
Congrats on the new boat Brother. Try some Seafoam for your engines from cars to boats and in between
Thank you Richard for the tour and maintenance of your new boat.
Richard, "Your the Man", Love all your videos!
Yes sir you are correct about the Yamaha motors. I been running them for years. Best motor hands down. Also for your floor in the Tracker go to a marine and tell them you want olive green paint That you can spray. I haven't fished TN yet and I'm planning on it.. I have 3 boats I have a old Tracker jon that I run here in PA for Catfishing. My other 2 are Ranger and a Vexus.
Richard I had a Triton TR 19 fiberglass bass boat and it had a Johnson 24 Volt trolling motor 1998 I think it was 45 or 50 # thrust. The boat had a 42-45 gal. gas tank with a 175 H.P Johnson motor. That trolling motor was all that boat needed. In fact I never ran it on high. I think you will find 50# thrust will move that boat to suit your needs. Enjoy your videos. Mama Sue is going to love fishing from that boat.
I have a 70lb powerdrive on my 18x60 like yours and it’s definitely more than enough. It’s 3 years old and used about 3 times a week with zero issues. There was a 45lb trust before and it didn’t cut it on a 10mph windy day or little current.
I bought a minn kota terrova 86 lb thrust for my 19’ centerconsole plenty of power. The anchor and remote control are game changers.
Also Richard, you should consider putting some Hydrturf on the floor and deck of your new boat. Cool in the summer, never slick and quiet. You’ll love it.
I agree Richard. The 1860 needs at least a 70lb+ 24V tolling motor.
I have a 55lb 12v on my 17’Creastliner bass/crappie boat. And when the wind gets up past 10 it will wear that 12v down quick. I had to put a backup battery just in case until I can upgrade trolling motor.
Great video. Just as important as fishing. Thank you Richard.
Richard Jean, the fishing machine sounds like such a awesome man. Thank you sir for sharing your fish catching abilities with us all I know I have learned a lot from you and look forward to learn more. Thank you sir and God bless.
I love my 1448!! I've had 21 foot Rangers down to 18 foot Stratos and I have more fun and less stress and a 1448 with a 18hp Nissan than I ever did in all the big boats. Keep it simple and life is simple.
That 1860 is a fine boat to fish out of mine has a 75 mercury force motor on it and I love it and you can do so much to it a fine boat . Great video gene
Great video sir! Very helpful for a potential new boat buyer.
You da man Richard.....Thanks for what you do.
Thank you for showing your new boat
I have a 19 ft rough neck all weld and it has a 45 pound thrust trolling motor and it is not nearly eanugh if the wind is blowing well just forget it so good luck and God bless you richard gene
Richard,
That's a nice new boat you got.
Those 4 strokes are easy on gas, I have a Lowe st175 with a 60 hp. The no carpet option camo is sure nice, mine is now 10yrs old and it still looks real good. I'm happy for ya, keep them good videos coming.
I'm totally with you ,simple is better.
Richard Gene the fishing machine your my idol. God Bless you and your family.
I like the little Helix 5. I have one on my kayak. It has DI and GPS with all the lake maps I need. All I use it for is to pinpoint all my favorite piles and submerged timber where I already know crappie hang out and for surface temps and channel locations... I really enjoy all your videos Richard!! When I cant go fishing its the next best thing with a good cup of coffee!!!! Cheers!!!
Richard I love watching all your videos you're so smart and know how to fish and teach everybody God bless you buddy I would love to meet you in person one day
Nice boat, always enjoy your videos, God Bless You.
Dear Richard, you leave me smiling and laughing Every Single Time! May God abundantly bless you!
Richard Congrats on your new to you Boat. I really appreciate your videos and your knowledge you are blessed with. Have a Blessed fishing trips. God Bless you and your family.
I had almost the exact same setup as the 1st one years and years ago. I had a 50 evenrude though. I also had a 6ft steel rod I made and welded a spot on one end for rope and made a point on the other. It made a awesome anchor that flew through the water stuck in the mud and when I was in them through it down almost with zero splash. That thing would stick in that Louisiana Bayou mud and hold and was pretty easy to pull up when ready.
Mr. Richard, I started using that same gas treatment (Star-Tron) and non-ethanol gas and all my fuel related problems went away. Love your video's.
Love the boat mr gene can’t wait to see some good catfish videos
Heck yea awesome boat . Good find Richard.
I just bought a 14ft fiberglass skiff with a 25hp 4 stroke Mercury. I have run 2 strokes all my life but my 4 stroke sips gas and is ultra quiet. I fish sitting down most of the time and I have it set up were I only have to move when I am firing up the big motor. Everything else is at my fingertips. It's the perfect rig for me.
Thank you, Richard, for walking us through your new boat. I'd seen it in a few videos and was hoping you'd tell us about it.
Congrats on new boat elmo.power drive rolling motors are OK .fish on
I have a 1448 grizzly tracker with a 55# trolling motor that’s just right. You will definitely be underpowered on that 1860 with a 50 in current. Nice boat
Great Job Richard!
I really like you boat!
🎣🎣
Oh I forgot I have been watching the old fisherman and he is quite entertaining but he's not the teacher the fishing machine is thank u richard and God bless
I had a 16.5 aluminum boat that had a Yamaha 40hp 2 stroke on it. Loved that motor! It was great.
thats what ive got and dont need anything else. Thanks Richard for showing us your new boat
Your aces in my book my man, may God bless you and your family
I must tell you Richard I love that boat and I called them about the layout of your boat . My hope is to buy the same before I retire !
Congrats on the new boat
Outstanding!! Thanks Richard😊👍👍
I rock the Hummingbird helix 5 myself. If you know the waters its the right tool for the job. Can't wait to see you out on the rig!
Great information Richard nice boats.
Love your new boat!
RGFM: one nice thing about the Grizzly is there is a channel in the bottom of the boat you can run wires through. Check it out.
when you put God first this is what happens you have a great life in return rite Richard and all that stuff like the floor works and looks great as is. we love and appreciate the vids thanks Richard and family May God Bless yall
Wow
That’s a cool rig. Can’t wait to see what all you fix up on it.
Looks like there is plenty of room for Elmo. No excuses for him now.
I change my lower unit oil twice a year I use the boat every weekend just about and that star tron is really great in boat gas especially a carb engine good tips RGTFM like the new boat 👍love that 4stroke merc
I have learned a lot more about fishing from you. Thank you & keep the videos coming
Most dissimilar metals will create a voltage when touching one another, that will cause oxide, that will eventually
destroy the surface . Another thing that will destroy aluminum is pressure treated wood ask me how I know?
Richard this was a very good video ,Thanks for the info!
Your boats are awesome Richard!!! God has blessed you 🙏 🙌
Love the new boat but that alweld is a boat I can only dream of having. Fit me and my wife perfectly. Soon enough I'll have me something like it. Awesome video sir
I have a 17 ft Tracker and purchased a Minnkota Terrova 55pound motor and it is perfect for my boat..
Glad to see you get bigger boat 👍
You have inspired me to maybe go the cheaper route on buying a boat. Sometimes we don’t need all the flashy things in life. We can still get the job done and have fun without drowning in debt. I hope God blesses everyone with peace and joy regardless of what you can afford in fishing gear.
Love you Richard Gene ♥️always good info❤️
Looking forward to seeing that boat on the water!!
That's nice setup on your boat. Plenty room. So you can take a friend along more now haha. God bless you and yours. Looking forward to your next trip and thanks for the info
2 great boats to fish out of,, really enjoy your videos
We have a 55 power drive with i pilot on our 1860 polarkraft. It will drag for catfish all day with power to spare.
Add the ipilot to your power drive its easy and is an awesome upgrade.
Your awesome Richard Gene!!!!!!
Richard, i have a 14x42 Alweld standard jon boat with the exact same 50# thrust power drive motor on it that you have.
Recently the foot control failed, and i found that there is a remote control available for it called ( co pilot )at a very reasonable cost, like about $100.
So i bought one and had it installed. It does the same things the foot control does but no more, meaning it steers and you can increase or decrease speed as well as shutting if off completely.
Mind you now there is also a much more expensive option available called ( I pilot ) for that motor as well, which allows for things like spot lock.
But the ( co pilot ) will allow you to control the motor from anywhere in the boat with the remote, which is a very nice feature.
At my age im not comfortable standing on the bow as you do while running the boat.
Ask your self if you could get back in the boat if you fell out of it, especially in cold water like where you fish.
You could also move that motor onto your other boat, and you would find the remote to be a welcome addition.
Id suggest you contact Minn Kota for more information on the 2 different type remote units available for the Power drive motors.
May God continue to bless you, and allow you to keep up the good work.
Thanks Richard. Great advice.
Id change out that grey fuel line. Reason why the inside will come apart from ethanol eating it away. Go to parts store buy EPA blk hose. Keep up the great fishing vids it's teaching me well.
Congratulations on your new rig-- kinda sad seeing the small have to go , but you have 2 really nice rigs to be proud of -- I have a ALWELD myself and love it also -- And it has a Yamaha -- waiting on some more awesome videos SIR !!!
Richard I like your new boat
