I had a 2022 model. Liked it. One thing that a few other anglers had problems with was the cover on the tackle storage compartment. The rivets pulled out. Didn't like the starboard side as well as far as on deck rod storage. As you said had to have a rod that's under 7'. Stay Saf & God Bless!!
I have the same boat, in black. My biggest complaint is the front deck space. Ive stepped on two reels so far this year and broke one of them. I would like to see the fuel tank moved to under the seats and leave some more room in the back.
Thanks for the sub! The fuel tank moved under the seat would be awesome. I dont know why they didn't make more storage under the seats. Im sure it wouldn't be too hard.
Thanks for your video! I bought my first boat last year. Almost the same boat, its the 2023 175 TXW Tournament edition. Came with upgraded trailer, 24v trolling motor, and possibly others I'm missing. Wondering if you ever planned on putting power poles on your boat. I'm looking to purchase 2 power poles, but here is my dilemma. In the back of the boat where you have your fire extinguisher, I have my battery charger system (possibly a great spot for the hydraulic pumps. My question is if your planning on putting power poles, where would put the pumps if that compartment isnt available.
Im going back and forth on power polls. I was looking at the all electric lewmar axis. No pump or hoses. You would need a spot for the small power box, though. I know someone who has them, and the only downfall i seen is that it takes about 10 seconds to fully deploy. But for the price, it works well.
I have the same boat with a Livescope setup and I would highly recommend getting a separate lithium battery for your front graph and black box in that rod locker eith the black box. They draw too much power for the stock battery and the battery will die. I also noticed a huge improvement in clearing up the interference while using Livescope and getting a better picture.
thanks! I have a 170 now and looking to upgrade to either the 175 like that (white) or maybe a 190 with the 115 not sure yet ... the 170 is for sure a good first boat and some of the stuff that drives me crazy about it is solved on the 175s - storage speed, ride is rough ----- you are right about that edge the thing couldn't really move my 170 around let a lone a bigger boat. good video thanks. I also like trackers they are good for the price you pay , for someone who fishes for fun and doesn't have (or doesn't want to spend the 50-70k for a "good" boat these get you on the water
I would skip the 175 and get the 190. They have a bit more room and power. But, i am not disappointed with my 175. The pros in this boat make up for the cons for sure.
@@juliusoutdoors2895 thanks - still looking and trying to decide if the extra 6-7 k for the 190 is worth it I am pretty happy with the 170 I just need a little more room and speed I keep looking at the 175 and I like it - thanks again for the videos
with all the batteries in the rear, how does it sit & plane on the water? I did my 2 battery add on my 170 up in the front compartment and it was perfect.

Honestly, it was not a money issue that made me buy this boat. It was the warranties and availability. Im happy with it, and it does everything i need it to do. Maybe I'll look into the vexus when i decide to upgrade.
@juliusoutdoors2895 Vexus has a lifetime hull warranty and a minimum of 2 years on everything else. They were hard to find when I bought mine in 2021 but worth the effort. Not a entry level fishing boat but won't break the bank either
I'm thinking about buying. Really enjoyed the review. Thanks
Awesome, love the boat!
Thanks. So do I.

It is ran off of a amped outdoors 14.8v lithium.
@@juliusoutdoors2895 that's the perfect setup! Nice man, I love it!

@@anonimous596 no worries. Mine does around 35 with the 75hp on it.
How did you bend the brackets for your straps?
@@keithlawrence7682 a hammer

It planes out no problem. It always sat a little ass heavy but i havnt really noticed since i added the extra battery.
😅😊 I upgrade put 115 mercury used 2 stroke reinforce transumn😊
Hows the stability?
Good. It will rock but not enough to lose balance.
Break out another thousand
🤣
What is the tow weight?
@buttdreads i have no idea. Its light. My rave4 can tow it no problem.
@@juliusoutdoors2895 so a lexus suv rx350 could tow this all day?
@buttdreads easily. The boat with full tank and loaded with gear would weigh just under 2500lbs. Tow rate for the lexus is 3500lbs. You are good.
@@juliusoutdoors2895 oh good, thank you for the info! I really appreciate it. I’m in the market and think I’m gonna buy a bass tracker
You so bad you stopped the wind by yelling at it lol
Haha. It gets loud in my shop. The goal is to be louder than mother nature.

Should have saved up and bought a Vexus AVX. That tracker is a joke compared to a Vexus
The cheapest Vexus AVX is almost $20k more expensive than the 175TXW. Some people don't want to spend $40k+ on a bass boat.

Personally not a fan of the vinyl, all of the used ones I’ve seen are dirty and look like crap. Just my personal preference
I spent about 2 hours cleaning it up. It cleaned up nice. I imagine after tome the sun will damage it.
