    Beautiful Boat! You are so lucky to get the new outboards. My friend waited well over a year for a pair of Yamaha 250s and didn't have a delivery date in sight. He hopes to have 2 Hondas now in July. I need to get the trolling motor for my boat.

    Hey!! My name's Luke and I am 15 years old. I am in the restoration of a 1994 201 mako and need to bottom paint the boat. Could you do it on the trailer or if not how would you lift it without any major machinery. Love your vids from the contender!!

    • @reaperfishingnj8623
      @reaperfishingnj8623  Год назад

      Thanks so much Luke. I painted most of the bottom still on the trailer. But you'd have to have someone put it on a sling or forklift to do the rest unless you had a hydraulic trailer.

  • @StarsAndStripers

    Super nice boat. Best of luck and can't wait to see some fish on deck. Do you prefer through hull transducers versus transom mounts? I need to put a new fish finder on my boat and trying to decide what type of transducer. Your transducer looks nice but I hate to have to drill another hole in the hull unless its going to make a big difference. I mostly inshore fish.

    You better be going to the canyon in that thing. If I can get a 16ft out 35 you got that all day. We used to run in the 90s a welcraft 248 offshore to the Hudson all the time np. Had to carry an extra 50gal but np. And dude you're going to be rolling solo ALLOT now. It's allot funner to wrestle large tuna and sharks by yourself. At least I think so. Something about reeling gaffing and steering all at once. Get your kite game up. It's truly killer on inshore bluefin

    Love your videos, Nice Boat!! I have two questions if you dont mind. Did you use a broker to find the boat or look on boat trader or something similar? and second question is about your tuna trips. Do you charter groups for tuna fishing? I want to do a tuna fishing trip this summer or fall and trying to find some info. Thank you!

    • @reaperfishingnj8623
      @reaperfishingnj8623  2 года назад

      Thanks so much for watching Jose.
      1. I look at yachtworld, boattrader almost daily. Even if i'm not looking for a new boat. I typically day dream about 47, 50 Vikings. But once I decided to upgrade the little boat I was on those sites multiple times daily. Also THEHULLTRUTH.COM and search the listings. The boat market was insane over the last year with boats going for top dollar and going fast. Best advice is narrow your search. start with size and type of boat. then make. then model. then search those boats every single day. When this boat popped up I called the listing broker that day and made an offer (not my usual behavior, but I had already lost a few boats due to other offers). Then survey the boat and you're off to the races. That all being said I have looked at boats since I was a kid. Have personally bought/sold/ran well over a dozen. If you aren't super familiar then a broker can help you find what you're looking for. Another good piece of advise is read, read, and read more. Then go look at lots of boats. The boat show is great for this because you can crawl all over em all that day and do quick comparisons.
      2. I'm sorry but we don't do charters.

    Captain Chris what’s your thoughts on a 1999 Contender 25 Cuddy powered with twin 200
    HP 2016 Suzukis 600 hours. Do you see the Cuddy as a big set back for fishing.

    • @reaperfishingnj8623
      @reaperfishingnj8623  Год назад

      i've never been on one, but it seems like the cuddy really cuts out a lot of the forward fishing space. In addition, I'd definetely check the fuel tanks on it.
      There are more and more coming up on the market so I'd keep your eye out.
