Alright Reaper team!! We finally get our land projects done on the new Little Reaper and get her launched! Special thanks to Papa Mazzoni for helping me with the trailer and at the ramp!!! Couldn't have done it without you!!
The boat ran amazing! We will get her even more dialed in as we go along.
And as always thanks to Captain Zac for talking me off the ledge!! I thought she was too slow......but he gave me helpful tips as always.
Stand by for Little Reaper in action because the first few trips were UNREAL!!

Thanks as always!
Awesome! Happy you like your Contender. I go out every day on my 25...even if it is for 1 hour of just a cruise or fishing. Furthest I went with it was the Reasor for seabass a true slaying with the Minn Kota.
Thanks so much Ciro! I have a feeling I'll have this one killing tuna soon
Sweet you got to love them Suzuki. Best motor I ever purchase. Good Luck.
Ah that's good news to hear William. Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching!
Sweet new rig dude! Best of luck and heres to a great season for you brotha
Thanks 👍
Congratulations Chris, awesome boat! I love Contenders
Thanks 👍
Def need a little boat tuna spread set up u gunna run riggers on that or just wide trackers I would love to see a vid like that
I used to run my first boat ( 32 Proline Express) with just single spreader riggers and usually 7 rods as we were always light on crew. With Wide trackers I can easily duplicate that spread I think....and we killed lots of tuna!!!!
Congrats man you seem very happy with that boat! Best of luck with it... I felt the same way last year with our Robalo R222!
Thanks so much John!!
NICE…good luck, happy fishing, tight lines
Thanks so much Anthony!
Welcome to the South Jersey Contender family. Hope to see you out there. We can race to the reef!

I sure hope so Jon!!
congrats! can't wait to see your teen size blackfish this season!
Thanks so much!!!

Chris good luck with the new boat. See you out there.
thanks so much Maggie!!
Looks like a mean little Reaper....Fish on...
Thanks so much!
EXCELLENT, Good Luck 🤜🤛
Thanks ✌
Congratulations. Great stuff. Check out the relief shading from garmin if you haven't already. Swapped out my tinted windshield on my last boat made it too hard to see a low light. Good luck with her.
Thanks so much Brad. I'll check it out
Boat looks great! Give Prop Gods a call. The boat should be much faster. They'll send you a set of props to test.
Thank you so much Christopher! I never heard of Prop Gods. I'll check it out!
@@reaperfishingnj8623 the guy ken over there is a genius when it comes to figuring out what size and pitch to use based on your needs. I'm sure he's propped several 23t with 200s.
Congrats looks like a sweet ride 🎣
Thanks so much Nick!
Good luck with the new boat.
Thank you so much!
That’s a beautiful boat! I’m actually in the market for a 23T myself. Enjoy man!
Good luck!
My father in law just got a new Suzuki on his whaler. Mechanical. It’s super sensitive too.
I wish him luck Tim. Thanks so much for watching!
Congratulations bro , enjoy
Thanks a ton
Nice boat.
Thanks!
Love to see it, congrats
Thank you so much!
looks great, my dream boat!
Thanks so much Ashkan!
Nice boat, I have the Garmin Bluechart G3 Vision VUS512L Mid Atlantic in my boat, check out the relief shading if you haven’t seen it yet. After rebate it was only $150. It’s unbelievable haw detailed the wrecks and rocks are.there’s a lot more to great fishing than marked wrecks. Look at and you’ll see what I mean. Can’t wait for the next video.
Aww man thanks so much for the heads up! I will check it out for sure!
Boat looks clean, I’m a local marine mechanic out of cape may, would love to come check the boat out in person and meet you aswell. We specialize in Suzukis and Yamahas. Also acrylic dash panels, and trolling motors. Big fan of the videos.
Thanks so much for watching Jake!
The boat looks superb! Dumb question. Is the 2.1 total burn or per engine?
Total burn I'd assume on that setup
Yup. Total burn
Congrats bro, that thing looks mean
Thanks so much!
good vid. hoping to get my new reg 23 in the water soon. Been trying to get everything squared away. I'm learning boat ownership is everything they say it is.
*new to me its a 2008
Beautiful boat Brennan. Good luck with her!
Beauty !!
thanks so much Jason!
That boat is badass let me know if you put her on the market in the next few
Thanks so much!! I just got her so we need to kill some tuna first!!
diesel prices rn are 5 and up, I think you will love the smaller boat
Have you fished the boat any more this summer? How does she handle in different sea conditions and on the drift in a little bit of chop or swell ? You said you had buyers remorse it is bc of the weather or is the boat not meet your expectations? I’m looking to purchase this same boat . Any insight would be great
HELL YEAH
Awesome boat and some great upgrades. The Garmin MFDs are the best. Did you have your engines trimmed all the way down for the break in?
Thanks so much for watching. They were trimmed all the way down for this video. I have since been playing with the trim and trim tabs...much more speed
Really torn between this boat and a comparable regulator… do you have any further input or insight having owned the boat for a few months now?
not as fast as I thought she would be. Ride is good not great. Console too small.
Absolutely love the boat. Best of luck with it. Question on the Garmin. Do you have a through hull or transom mount?
I have a new 25’ center console hopefully being delivered next month. I have a through hull transducer being installed at the factory but I also bought a transom mount so I can utilize the side view and the down view of the new Garmin. Where did you mount your transom mount transducer? Is it between the 2 motors or to the right of the starboard side motor? Love watching your show.miming South Carolina now but NJ born and raised.
Keep up the great videos and if you’re ever in the Charleston area,look me up and we’ll go out fishing.
Thru Hull transducer only. Thanks so much for watching and thanks so much for the kind offer!
awesome. prop pitch?
3 x 16 x 20R
How much do you think the beam being 8'6" vs some 26's around 9'6" matter. I've only ever driven regulator Grady and my Edgewater
Not sure. I've never really fished on the Grady or Edgewater
SHWING!
Ha! Thanks so much for watchng
Little Reaper is now the 25 tournament?
Yes indeed!!
Is that a23 tournament 24 degree deadrise what does she weigh and what size motors
yes 23 Tournament. 24.5 deg deadrise. Approximately 4200 lbs dry weight without motors. Twin 200 hp Suzuki outboards
What is the name of the songs you used in the video?
Damn that’s my dream boat! what do you do for a living to be able to afford two amazing boats?
Thanks so much for watching. I am gonna keep that private for now. I honestly can't afford either one, but I don't care. That's why god made loans!!
if u don't mind me asking I'm looking to invest in something similar next year what was your initial cost? for it
The market is crazy right now...so I bought high. But figure around 100 k for something similiar
Where did you buy the boat at?
Ft Lauderdale
Song name at 4:37 please? Happy to see you happy!
i believe it's called "Waiting for Closure" by ELFL. I get these tracks from Epidemic Sound which is a pay site where you get copyright free music.
