LFG: Thanks for your help in avoiding boat/trailer problems for your subs. Please share this story as you see fit. I’ve owned my boat, motor and trailer for 22 years. I’m extremely cautious about safety. I hate the idea of hurting someone or having highway trouble pulling my boat. Every Spring I go over everything to avoid problems. At least I thought I did. This Spring I’m about to load my boat at the ramp. I look down (Thank God) and see I’m missing a nut on my u bolt leaf spring assembly. On closer inspection I see the same thing is happening on the other side of the trailer. Big problem. No u bolts, no suspension, major accident at maybe 70 MPH. Fortunately it’s an easy fix. Stainless steel lock washers, stainless steel nuts and Locktight 290. Please tell everyone to check their trailer suspension when they launch their boats. Takes just a minute, but could save someone’s life. Stay safe, God Bless.
You are a freakin stud. Just please keep being your own classy self? Not a fake braggart, just the simple truth like a natural born winner. I salute you, Sir!
love the new boat dude!!! The ol Vexus fits everything you do, also very good to see that grin again!!!
Wow. Seems like you have had a rough year! My heart and prayers go out to you!…… and Flair, holy cow!!!! He’s had some big problems too!!! Thanks for the boat advice! Great video!!!
Love the owls....Hopefully we see more of them. I love having the ones around my house in Virginia. Great Horned 🦉 Owls
Very good information! Thanks for that!
Love the new boat! Love the crispy also!
Just started doing kayak fishing... I loved to see more kayak fishing from you. Keep up the good work!
I have watched ya for years. Da OG. Thanks for all of the awesome vids. Keep them a comin!
Great video LFG! Thank you for such important information that may be easily overload .
Dude i know you probably won't see this but if you do i just want to let you know that seeing you and how you handle things in bad situations has helped me to change as well. Good video and great job doing this. Thank you for being you.
Just purchased a G3 1710 and have similar trailer adjustments that need to be made. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Lfg I have really loved watching you for a long time and still amazes me I’m still learning from you have become my favorite RUclipsr for a pretty good while now
I grew up eating Channel Cats and Yellow Bellies caught on the Snake river. usually on the Idaho side.
Ya know as awesome as it wasto see you in the best of the best bass fishing boats. I have to say I think it is more relatable to see ya in a doable nice boat hope you can make even more video's of obtainable upgrades that can be done bythe DYI-er's out there.
Keep up the good work
Like the spooning tips LFG. Thanks.
I’m so glad for this information indeed needed ❤❤😂😂😂
Hey LFG,I'm so glad tou caught the mistake and had help correcting it,same goes for the Crispy Collector🎉
Very cool addition to the Tree house 🦉🦉🦉🦉!
Frish Fry with LFD and Mom anytime soon?
JO JO IN VT 💞
Nice boat! I bought my dads 98 champ 191 over a year ago from my stepmom. She wouldnt give it to me like dad wanted. Transfering the title from ks to tx was fun. I had two garmin ultra2 units with live scope and spot lock installed. Iam ashamed that to say, I havent had it on the water yet. Working all the time. The boat is MINT!
Nice video. The son has had his 20 ft Aluminum boat for two years now we learn to just back the boat in so the fenders are just under the water , the front end of the bunks stick out is the best Position
Dad always has two clips on his boat. One like yours and another safety one in case that one breaks. You could tie another rope to the trailer and have it clipped to the trailer as well for a safety if that makes sense.
i was having the same issues, thanks for the video
Those owls are full grown! Eastern screech owls. Have 4-5 that live in my back yard here in north Texas as well!
important thing is to measure the weight u put on the trailerball.. it should be like 150lbs.. (u can look it up).. if its too light ur boat is too far back can be unsafe driving.. if its too much aswell.
JUST THROW STRAP OVER FRONT FOR EXTRA SAFETY EASY!!!!👌
I would love see you catch an alligator gar at rayburn lake. Apparently some guy caught a 100lbs gar there using 6 pound test.
Ampd marine in Longview makes some really cool tackle storage options for vexus
great PSA and nice dangle!
I have learned with my aluminum boat that I need to leave alot of the trailer out of the water while loading. Boat lines up easier plus the aluminum boats are light enough to winch on up.
Nothing I love more than throwing a spoon at schooling hybrids. I dialed them in last year with my hummingbird piranha and my flat bottom. You may already know but there is a small lake not far east from you that turns into absolutely crazy hybrid clinic in July. And they don’t get pressured much either.
My Vexus dealer mounted my black box underneath the front of the boat by the front graph. You can call VC Marine and ask them about it. Also, you will definitely want a safety strap added in-case the winch fails. Watch Mark Blackstock's video about his Nitro falling off the trailer because he didn't have a safety strap. My Vexus dealer said out of the 140 Vexus AVX boats he has sold, only one has been sent back to the factory for a weld/crack issue and that hull was replaced.
My bowfishing boat has the same issue. Unfortunately it is hard welded in place and there is nothing I can do about it.
Hey Justin I hate to tell you but you better definitely keep your chickens locked up with those owls growing up and getting bigger!!! Owls will definitely kill chickens for sure!!! We kept losing a chicken every other day and I couldn’t figure out what was getting are chickens until I set up a trail camera and caught an owl landing on are great big dog runs that we had are chickens in at the top and then after he landed on the fence panels he would wait until they all settled back down and then he would attack them!!! And of course there was absolutely nothing I could do because owls are a protected animal and you can’t go killing owls!! Just a heads up so if you end up losing a chicken and can’t figure out what might have gotten one or more definitely look no further!!!
Actually, you can kill owls that are harming your farm animals. But make sure you contact the game warden service 1st.
When you know you know. You knew it was a bit off and BAM reality hits.... Thanks for the heads up !
You don’t have to put the black box in your hard tackle compartment. I have a Vexus AVX and I put mine right under the bow unit in the very front of the boat. It’s very secure and a great way to save some storage
Great video
Hey Justin, get you a two speed trailer winch like the Fulton, then you will be able to pull the boat up all the way even if you’re a little short on the load
Why on earth would they put such a cheap junky tie down on an aluminum welded hull? Ive seen far better on way less of a boat. They need to do better and weld something beefier on the boats
seriously ...brand new and bow eye breaks and have to work on trailer too. talk about cheap quality all the way around.
Those boats are known for the hull splitting too. Get ready!
I have a private lake in 5000 anglers at this point we have agreements on no sonar no electronics. Unless it’s your cell phone and you’re expecting a call . I believe you’re a good man for this video introduction, and how men used to angle fish with nothing but a real one real one rod three baits . Catch bait on a hook you can use it. It’s a four hour tournament.
5,000 anglers? woah! must be a huh-yuge private lake!😅
No don't worry about perfect bow clip. That's a weak factory design. Get the boat on, crank it and forget about it, except the safety straps
Hey lfg I need your help I have a 22 vexus with the same issue it’s the 1980 with the dual axle trailer vexus will not get back to me to do the fix will this work with my boat please help me out I don’t want this to happen to me please please help me
They call themselves googan squad for a reason
Dude thank you so much for that tip. That is a life saver. Also been loving the vids man. Keep it up!
We need a LLF Video !!!!! 💯🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Let’s go!! And then Oh nooooo😮
Surprised Vexus did not have it adjusted properly to begin with. You should not have to adjust it when it came from the factory.
LFG didn't buy it directly from Vexus. He bought it 2nd hand. There's no telling what the 1st owner did to it.
Vexus boats are like ikea furniture. Once you get it home the building begins to.
I have never seen a catfish go after an active lure, that's kinda cool that he took a spoon.
i caught a cat on a spinner
Owls will take out your chickens, ask flair. They just take head off and leave the rest. Plus its illegal to do anything to get rid of them. They sre protected
Just cause it’s illegal don’t mean anything bub 😂
Coyote kills a calf, is it really out of season? Ask Kristy.
You need to install a brand new front roller sir!!!
I miss the crispy videos already. Just another guy with an expensive bass boat
About how deep are you jigging?
Man I need to get my boat finished up.
❤
Aren't those things supposed to be right on the trailer from the manufacturer upon delivery when new? Sounds like a QC problem at Vexus.
he bought the boat used.
Oh yeah and the Owls are way cool...
It’s a Vexus AVX. Surprised the hull hasn’t cracked yet. The bow eye will be the least of your worries.
Probably not. The 125 hulls seem to have been pretty good
Flex seal to the rescue ! 🛟🤪
Wha bam.
That boat should have been set up correctly from the factory.
So a couple things first the fact that you pay as much as you do for a boat like that and the anchor hook that you hook/Tie your boat to like that snapped so easy even though it was under more pressure is crap in my opinion.
that piece should be one of the strongest points on that boat.
Second thing the fact that the boat and trailer are not set up and a lined properly from the factory so that when you are loading it up it is not sitting right so something like this does not happen.
And that it is up to you to figure that out is BS as well as this is something that should be done either from the factory or from the dealer to make sure the boat is sitting properly on the trailer right from the start.
those adjustment you had to make on the trail for your boat to sit right is something they should have done for you before ever picked it up especially for how much a new boat cost these days,
But hey that is just my opinion which does not count for a dang thing.
Now on to your owls vs your chickens.
owls love to eat chickens and they can even open the dang door to the chicken coup.
I have a video that my friend sent me after I gave him a trail cam as he was trying to figure out what was getting into his chicken coup and eating the heads off his chicken.
turns out it was a big owl that literally was flying down and opening his chicken coup door to get to his chickens.
So if you are finding chicken with just there heads gone that is a sure sign that the owls are eating your chickens.
OTHER VIDEOS TURKLE DON'T GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR ELECTRIC TROLLING PROP HE'S 4WHEELIN IT IN TREES AND SHITS!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
So why don’t you use fun and son anymore? Seems they were pretty good to you for a long time?
Love the channel lfg please heart this comment that would mean a lot to me I am trying to get a heart from all of the googans
Really
why. why do you need a heart from them. that’s silly. as if it is going to revolutionize your life or something😂
When can we get that cool hat
I'm not understanding. These engineers should have all this ol technology figured out a long time ago. By the way I am a 1980 vexus 2022 owner
Drotto latch!!!
I recommended the Drotto on the original video. I'll never have a boat without one!!
👍🤙
Camera fell over. I thought you were crashing.
Stay old school. No live scope.
Bad look for Vexus.
Why in the world would the winch stand not come from the manufacturer in the proper position. That’s bad on the boat companies end. They should come properly set up. Won’t be ever buying one of those!!!
Don't make a mistake and collab with Turkler...
lol what a hater
I agree with Samuel
I agree with Samuel also. I remember reading a comment from a fan, on one of Justin's videos where Justin was very nice to to him at a boat dock or camp site and Rob didn't even acknowledge the fan. Didn't even look at him. Yet when Rob wants views on his channel he's all about it. 🤷♀️
I agree too. Rob has gone down a weird path since his divorce it seems. Maybe he was the same before, but I just get a weird feeling watching him operate now. Seems greedy and disconnected.
They are in Business together.
i guess im out fashion but all welded boats creep me out.
OVER UNDER DUDE 😂😂😂
I'll take a Flathead over a Blue any day imo.
TIRES' is what wins the race
ROB RUN'IN TROLLIN MOTOR LIKES WHISTLINDESEILS RUN'IN IT!!!!!LMFAO 😂😂😂
