Spot lock isn't the only thing with the newer trolling motors.The ghost and force are also brushless motors so battery life and power are much better then a brushed motor like the ultrex and the fortrex.
I really like your rig! It goes to show that manufacturers make all these sizes and configurations for good reason. We all have unique needs based on where we fish, etc. I just picked up a similar Lund, and it is really perfect for the way I fish. Congrats on a sweet boat.
Almost identical to my old white 2018 Lowe stinger 188, was a great boat for shallow lakes, Very stable and just a huge deck front and back, you gonna love the space, 👌👌🔥🔥🔥
@@1Probound Oh sweet! I asked Crestliner and Lewis and they both said a transom saver isn't needed. Have you seen or heard of any issues with guys not using one? So far the Wedge appears to be working, but on my last boat I did like the one that I could attach to the trailer.
The trim shafts are plenty strong enough to support the engine with no damage to the transom. Possible exception might be if you travel a lot of rough roads. Transom saver is a good insurance policy.
@@1Probound Ok, that's good to know. I'd say the roads I travel are pretty decent for the most part. Other than the Wedge what else would you recommend? I don't see a spot on the trailer where I could attach anything. I really appreciate your input bud. Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you for your videos on the XF189. They were instrumental in my research on the boat. I live in California and could not buy it here do to Crestliner supply chain issues. I drove it Missouri to get after I bought it sight unseen over the phone. I actually switched from an old “18” foot (17’6”) Javelin renegade. Could not be happier. Great boat other then speed and ride. It fishes great. Front deck and rod locker were main reasons for buying. Deck is probably triple what I’m used to fishing from. I have some mobility issues due to a knee replacement that isn’t perfect but made my day so much easier. I have a 150 pro xs. Turning a 21p tempest. I run heavy with an Ultrex,mega live & 360 with helix 12&9 on bow and 2 12’ talons on rear. I’m hitting 52 mph with 2 people but I’m still playing with my jack plate. 5800ish RPM. Thanks again.
Looks good, be sure and follow-up in a couple months. I went to the Crestliner website to find out more details. I was a little surprised that the beam was only 90". Other boats I have checked on are 94", 95", 96", and up to 98" beam on the Tracker Pro Team 195.
OK! First let me say congratulations on the new boat TJ! Jon Cox is my fave Pro Angler and he lives by his Crestliner.... That BOAT IS AWESOME MAN!!! That casting deck looks huge! .....Second, I think this couldn't have happen to a better person. Nothing against the other RUclips Pro Anglers but you seem to be the most down to earth, non-pretentious Angler on here. So it's good to see good things happen for and to good people! Oh and BTW you're spinnerbait advice was SPOT ON!! I went out and won my church tourney!!! Thanks to u....and GOD! lol......Be Blessed Sir!
Crestliner make incredible boats. I have a 2019 VT17 DX and love it. Like you I don't fish deep lakes and I have the 70lb Thrust 24 volt Minn-Kota. I have followed your videos for a year now and you are the real deal. Keep up the good work posting videos to help us all be better. Semper Fi
Glad to see you finally get a 24v trolling motor which you'll never regret. As far as outboard, I totally agree with keeping it meeting the horsepower requirements of your closest or favorite lake. 95% of the time when the boat is under power it's 24v gonna be pushing it. Nice boat
Awesome boat man .The storage is unbelievable . I know thats one thing you didnt care for on the tracker . Going from a job boat its like i have all the storage in the world lol .
@@alexkorn6036 All good brother and I appreciate the input. When I fished with Flukemaster I just remember his ultrex being much louder...maybe it wouldn't spook the fish. No doubt it's an awesome trolling motor, I just didn't feel I would personally benefit much from it. Hope all is well man! 👊
I agree great walk through. I'm actually looking for a boat now. The only thing I see I don't like is no drain ports in the storage boxes. And it will get dewy inside. Better make some or it's gonna cost you allot more time and money if it rains.
Awesome Jim! Congrats buddy, nice layout and options on it. Now it's time to get some square bill action going. Can't wait to see when you christen the boat with the first Hawg! 👍🙂
Nice boat. I am in the market to buy a XFC 189 with the 115 motor, and Pro package in Feb,2021 can't wait. I was going to buy a Tracker 175 TF until I saw your Video. Great job on the walk around.
how does it handle bigger/rougher water? is it a mod v? serously considering getting one! my buddy has a pt20 that i like but it sure is a lot of boat.
FYI that wedge is not a “transom saver.” The weight of the motor is still torquing the transom as you trailer. Get a real transom saver that prevents the flexing of your transom.
@@TackleJunky81 just wondering why the Talon's on this boat. You had the power pole on the last. I prefer the Talon's because no hydrologics...just curious
@@richardellis378 Now that I've had the Talons I definitely like them better, but I initially was going with Power Poles again, but wasn't any room for the pumps.
Nice , very nice. I suggest that you add a pad to the power pole bar that rests on your deck. I see potential wear on your carpet. Maybe even a rubber furniture / chair leg pop on pad.
Wow that thing is huge. I think it's awesome. The storage is so cool. It's almost a pontoon with no side rails! Looks really stable. Motor size is perfect. I have 115 hp and never use it. Trolling motor is the ticket. I would love to have Talons. 10 ft is awesome. Can you get by with 1 or would you spin around? Not sure but 2 makes sense. I would have a hard time sleeping with that sitting in the garage. I'm excited for you. Great boat brother. Keep safe.
Hey Jeff, with only having 1 power pole on my Tracker I would spin, so you have to play the wind, but 1 is better than none. Thanks for watching buddy!
Woooooooooo! Finally got a new rig lol. Aluminum > Glass all day. Only thing is you gotta be open to expanding to different lakes than fishing that 6-8ft muddy water lol. I have two different trollers for my boat, one of them is a Terrova with iPilot, and brother encourage you to revisit that option in the future. iPilot capabilities are a very nice tool
Gotta have time to travel to more lakes and I lack that at the moment, lol If this ever becomes a full time gig I'll get around, lol Thanks for watching buddy!
The ultrex was built for current, it doesn't matter if you're in 2 in of water or 20 ft of water talons will not always keep you in place.. say you're fishing the body of water and they're pulling water like crazy and current is just ripping, that trolling motor will not hold up to the force of the current you couldn't keep enough batteries on that boat to fish all day long just on your trolling motor, but if you have a spot lock feature that's mainly what that was invented for and it was nothing to do with fishing offshore it was to keep you in one spot if you were fighting current or you wanted to cast at a specific way point and not have to guess if you were fishing or casting at that way point, had nothing to do with depth.. I'm not disagreeing with you TJ.. love your channel I've been a subscriber for a long time, I'm just saying that I know for a fact that the ultrex an those type motors the idea of spotlock came from fishing in current and didn't matter about the depth.. plus if you ever travel and go to different bodies of water that you've never fished before, your talons may not be long enough.. you never know, that spotlock feature is amazing and I'm like you, I'm not an offshore fisherman either I mean I'll throw a crankbait with the best of them but I do most of my dirty work up close to the bank but still that spot lock is worth every penny!! But my lakes are also more damn driven, every body of water around me going all the way up to guntersville has a dam on each end of them, so one day you could be fishing and there's no current in the next day you could be fishing and they be pulling water and it be like level 4 rapids, CRAZY current... that spot lock is where it's at!! I've seen people with power poles on my lake n the current be dragging them away from where they're wanting to fish but to each his own, whatever you're comfortable with, whatever you want, it's YOURS not anybody else's, it's YOUR opinion that matters.. no one else's and that's the only thing that matters!! Keep on keepin on. Stay safe and tight lines always
An Ultrex has advantages beyond deep water BUT for your purposes you will be much happier with the Fortrex. That was a smart choice IMO, especially since you have talons.
My personal thought on the boat is it through an awesome boat other than the motor I wouldn’t put a 50 on it, I would put like a 115 or maybe 200 if that’s pushing
Congratulations on your new boat. How did you like the Tracker you owned, did you have any problems with it and how does it compare with your Crestliner. Thanks, I enjoy your videos all are very well done.
Hey bud, sorry I just seen this. I didn't have any issues with my Tracker other than the layout and I grew out of it, but it was a solid boat. To be honest there is no comparison between the 2. The Crestliner in my opinion is better built boat with a better layout and a much bigger boat overall. Now I'm comparing my 189 to the 175 Tracker I had, but you can compare my 189 to the 195 Tracker and the Crestliner has a bigger front deck. It's a well thought out design. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊💪
I haven't fish it yet, only broke the motor in. A couple guys said in needed a couple more weeks though. How is X fishing? I figured it would be packed...I got my tag last week.
@@TackleJunky81 what about g3 sportsman 1810, did you look at that one? I never really hear much about that but seems the xf 189, ranger 188, Lowe stinger, Vexus 1880 and g3 are in similar category. With your 50hp limit though I imagine the g3 wasn’t an option
@@paulryndak9916 Yeah, I didn't look at that one. I was really sold with Crestliner as soon as I seen how huge the front deck was. Plus the dealership was super helpful with choosing the right motor for my needs.
I used to hate hp restrictions but I wish we had one on my local lake. Skiers/ pleasure boats tear it up. I guess since the Rangers are short handed probably most of the problem. Sweet boat though it should make 35-40 mph right? Congrats btw!
beautiful boat but just curious it looks like it has more of a John boat hull vs. the pro team 175 or is it just an illusion thanks . P.s I’m surprised you didn’t have it made without that big gas tank and had like a portable one . These motors sip fuel and I’m really thinking about removing mine in the 175 . Gain a lot more space and I never fill more than half anyways . Looking forwards to the on water run
Thank you buddy! The Tracker had more of a deeper V to it, this one is not as extreme...handles well though. I filled up the gas tank as I wasn't sure how much it would use during the break in, but moving forward I won't keep more than 10 gallons in it. Appreciate you watching man!
Spot lock isn't the only thing with the newer trolling motors.The ghost and force are also brushless motors so battery life and power are much better then a brushed motor like the ultrex and the fortrex.

The 'built in transom saver' is designed to only use as a maintenance lock for use when servicing the engine. Nice video, and nice boat.
That makes more sense. Appreciate the comment bud and thanks for watching!

Ultrex is not all about spot lock. It's the electric steering cable is what makes it a game changer.
Either way it's louder as well and not what I'd want for real shallow water. Thanks for watching!

My personal thought on the boat is it through an awesome boat other than the motor I wouldn’t put a 50 on it, I would put like a 115 or maybe 200 if that’s pushing
Congratulations on your new boat. How did you like the Tracker you owned, did you have any problems with it and how does it compare with your Crestliner. Thanks, I enjoy your videos all are very well done.
Hey bud, sorry I just seen this. I didn't have any issues with my Tracker other than the layout and I grew out of it, but it was a solid boat. To be honest there is no comparison between the 2. The Crestliner in my opinion is better built boat with a better layout and a much bigger boat overall. Now I'm comparing my 189 to the 175 Tracker I had, but you can compare my 189 to the 195 Tracker and the Crestliner has a bigger front deck. It's a well thought out design. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊💪
;Hey TJ, you were right, I like it A lot. What is the storage length and width? I would like it to fit in the garage.
Also does the trailer have a fold away tongue?
21' 8" by 7' 7" and it has a swing away tongue. All the info is on the website if you want to check it out. Appreciate you watching brother.

Lake "x" is open, it's packed though. It's only a couple inches over pool, for now.

I used to hate hp restrictions but I wish we had one on my local lake. Skiers/ pleasure boats tear it up. I guess since the Rangers are short handed probably most of the problem. Sweet boat though it should make 35-40 mph right? Congrats btw!
30 - 32 which ain't bad at all for the size boat. I have a video on this.
beautiful boat but just curious it looks like it has more of a John boat hull vs. the pro team 175 or is it just an illusion thanks . P.s I’m surprised you didn’t have it made without that big gas tank and had like a portable one . These motors sip fuel and I’m really thinking about removing mine in the 175 . Gain a lot more space and I never fill more than half anyways . Looking forwards to the on water run
Thank you buddy! The Tracker had more of a deeper V to it, this one is not as extreme...handles well though. I filled up the gas tank as I wasn't sure how much it would use during the break in, but moving forward I won't keep more than 10 gallons in it. Appreciate you watching man!
I'm surprised at how good the white looks. I would have thought it would look plain and drab, but it doesn't. Hope it is easy to clean.
I'm loving it!
The white should be cooler also.
No transom saver on the Crestliner?
Thats a bad ass boat. Definitely bigger than mine.
Yeah man, I love it!
