Thats really the perfect setup, big open space, and plenty of room to put a pop-up ice shack and propane heater for extremely late season musky fishing lol
I love my bass boat, but if I had to do it over again, this is the exact boat I’d get. You and Aaron have sold me on the benefits of a tiller. Awesome!
Awesome boat. I had a 195 tournament pro years ago - loved it. This one is even better!
I picked my 205 shadow windshield version up with 250SHO for $43.5k back in 2018. Still one of the best deals today for what it has to offer. I mainly fish great lakes for small mouth and it handles rough water well for what it is. I swapped props to enertia 19p and it seems to offer best performance and ride overall. Runs about 58-60mph on a good day with decent economy. Only complaint on the boat is slow speed tracking, bow gets blown around and screws backing out of front deck. The screws backing out is common on aluminum boats and easier to deal with than my previous glass rig with gel coat cracking. Very underrated boat for big water bass fishing. I still enjoy running it 4 years later.
Always had the little tillers growing up, but this year after going to a big tiller set up with a casting deck from a bass boat I don't know if I'd ever have a console steer again... the fishability is unbeatable
I bought the same rig this spring just in the windshield model and a 250 Suzuki… I have had 2 family members sell their boats and buy an alumacraft… they truly are the best boat for the money.
They’re really great boats!!
All I can say is wow! Having said that, the new aluma-craft that came out today with fish able spot over motor in back is way cool for 2023! Start saving those $$$$ boys! ( and girls)
This rig was in at my workplace and it was honestly one of my coolest boats I’ve seen
Great boat setup and content in this video. Keep them coming. Wishing you well and your family!!
Dam... the uploads as a new father--appreciate it! Congratulations on the new ship!
Hard not to covet during this Video! Beautiful boat. Thanks for the walk through.
And I got excited putting a trolling motor on my kayak...Nice boat!
You really do a good job of explaining how everything works
So happy for you. Looks like your hard work is paying dividends. Keep up the great work!
Man those pro XS sound sick when they start up.
Alumacraft makes a great boat, love the features on that thing!!! And definitely doing that foam flooring when I rebuild my decks (6’ rod locker is useless for todays rods lol) I run a ‘92 Dominator cs with the same year 60hp Johnson. Gets around great, so solid, and nobody really pays attention to the guy in the old boat. Not unintentional these days, competition is brutal here in WI
Loved my Dominator, great boat!
Jay: I have the same hydraulic steering on my 2005 Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 with a 90 hp. Yamaha. Yes, 2005. It was designed and built by Merten's Co. and a few years later Merc bought them out. Now you can only get it on a Merc which I think is a shame but that's business. It's a sweet boat, Jay.
One thing I'd do differently, because like you said, "When you hit a rock," is put a 15 horse kicker on it and take off that Talon anchor. If you hit a rock with that big 200 hp, with a kicker on the boat you can still get home. Also, you can backtroll much slower with a kicker. But that's only my opinion.
Amazing boat Jay! Brilliant walk through too. love it.
Congrats on the new boat Jay!!! What a beauty!!!
Just recently found your channel and love the quality content. Keep it up man
This motor is exactly as advertised, it’s well made, easy to use and very powerful. We are happy
Only guys with big cojones drive 20ft tillers. #tillerlife 🤘
🤟🤟🤟
Congrats man! Looks perfect
Jay is out here living the good life! Congrats!
New boat, new baby. Living the dream my friend!
Looks sick!! 🎣🎣
Great boat! We need a video breakdown on running a tiller in big water. It’s obviously gonna be wet, but tips to ride smoother would be sweet.
congrats on the new boat Jay
Capon chair looks awesome, wish I had a boat like that.
Very nice rig Jay! Tons of Room!!!! Really like the captains chair! Rod storage unreal👍 You go fishing and don’t bring Anything home What do you do?!! Have fun on the water .. Tight Lines. B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Mercury does warranty one lithium cranking battery from Relion. It’s a 100 amp hour dual purpose lithium but it has to be the relion HP. As far as I know this is the only lithium cranking battery that mercury won’t void it’s warranty. I just bought a 2022 Crestliner raptor 1850 with the 200 pro XS on it. West Marine is where you can find these batteries. I run a helix 15, 12, 10, and a Garmin 106sv with the LS34. I don’t run all the units at the same time but a few are always running and have not had any issue. Great great battery.
Nice boat - I like the way you have it set up. One thing gave me a chuckle - even with hard core fishermen, tournament guys and most serious recreational anglers - I have yet to see one single person say they use their front live well as a live well. I'm thinking this needs to become an option on Lunds, Alumacrafts, and other higher end fishing boats. A waste of money and plumbing as far as I'm concerned. I don't (and never felt the need) to use one in any of my boats. Never.
Anyone who can do what you’re doing is an artist of the first rank. Loved watching you.
Thank you so much!!!! Nice GT 👀👀👀
@@JaySiemens your welcome brother
Ok, two questions for you sir. 1, how do you feel about the open space behind your graphs do you feel you use it fully compared to mounting on your side rail? 2, have you thought about using the Sharrow Propeller on your rig due to the size of your motor? As always awesome and congrats on your new little one.
Beautiful boat!
What a great boat and awesome video. Good luck tight lines
Dream setup right there. Nicely done!
Awesome boat Jay. One thing, you might consider doing is to put a grommet in that hole where you have the wires running to your lithium charger. Last thing you'd want is for the sharp edge to wear the wires and short the charger, batteries or possibly other stuff in the boat.
Also, first thing my wife noticed was the haircut :)
Super sweet boat!! Congrats!
Awesome walkthru, Jay!
I just ordered my 1st (and probably last new boat), a Competitor 205 Sport. Now I can't wait to get it.
Also, great video and editing, the best in the business, your video looked like a professional ad from Alumacraft, you should tell them to just use your videos for their ads. lol
Beauty boat an dream electronic set up. Looking forward to seeing you post some videos in that bad boy … 🇨🇦🎣
yes sir thats a really nice rig !! awesome !!
Such a sick rig, Jay!
Simply Awesome 😎
That is one sweet boat!
“Go fer a little rip” - DYING!!
Super nice craft and another great video!
No that’s a real beauty Jay very impressive….
Hey Jay love your videos. Hopefully I see you around baudette some times.
That's an awesome rig! You have more $$ in graphs than I have in my whole outfit including gear. 😂 Nice for guiding and safe big boat for big water.
Nice boat!!! 19P Rev4 merc prop would be a good upgrade. 4 blade design has a better hole shot and keeps the front of the boat down in waves!
Love this boat
That's my dream boat maybe someday Congrats man!
Good idea Jay, don’t void the warranty on that Mercury Jumk!! You gonna need it.
man that grin is legit.
Sweet boat and awesome setup!
Great walk through. Reality says not many can afford this great boat. A retail price would be helpful with all the other info you've provided. We all know it's a year away or season away for delivery I'm sure. Thanks again.
I'm in love with my trophy but daayyham that's the perfect tiller rig
jay i was thinking about going to eagle nest loge what types of rod reel and lures' should i bring
Jay you're my idol. Love every video you post
sweet boat!, congrats
No surprise coming from you, but this is the Best walk through on RUclips jay!
Nice rig!
Great walkthrough
Jay, have you thought about having a separate lithium house battery for your graphs? You should get improved imaging with that steady supply of power. Also, what Is that mount you used for your livescope you have permanently mounted on your transom? Great Vid!
It is a beauty Jay... and it's the flooring that's the clickbait cause you're like, whaaaaat? Looks sharp!
Man that really is a dream boat
Love the set up Jay!! What’s with the yellow top Optima batteries?? Are those ok for marine applications?
"Im by myself" *Camera Man looks down* LOL ps love the boat Jay, absolutely minty setup!
Great info and a finger liking boat😜
solid.
I wish! Nice boat
Beauty boat. Does the added weight of the talon cause any list to the starboard side either on plane or at rest?
Jay, what do you have on the ceiling of your garage for rods?
Nice boat man super jealous enjoy the boat!!!
Ummm 🤔 I think your spam bud
Very nice great setup 👍
One bad a$$ boat!! Nice setup!!
Nice boat! One day I’ll own a boat
Slick rig! I’ll be getting that exact setup when I win the lottery soon haha
it is a pretty sexy rig dude. I'm very jealous but you have earned it forsure!!
Love the video's Jay!!
Jay what are you using for mounts for the two sonars at the bow? RAM or otherwise?
A beautiful boat.
Not falling for it
Looks like a perfect boat to compete in 39 Hours Season 3!
That is one nice boat I’m gonna have to get me one.
Beautiful boat. I'd love to have something like that. I'm a multi species guy and even fish in saltwater, something like that would be perfect.
Excellent video.
That's a nice boat.
The tiller of all tillers is still the warrior glass one like aaron has. its a monster.
What mounts did you use for your stern graphs? Did you use a sort of backer board?
I'd say that's a dream boat!
How deep does the 205 ride? I often fish small to med size lakes and a river that has sandbars that change throughout the year. Any concern getting the 205 vs the 185?
I love that deck material. What is that and was it installed over the vinyl or carpet?
Hey great video!!! Id like to ask why you have the Talon and please let me know a few different scenarios you would use the Talan Please , Big Fan!!
Do you use anything to protect your transducers when traveling with the boat on the trailer?
What’s it look like at the end of a long day of fishing? Do lures get caught in that foam? Let’s be honest. They don’t all end up back where they should be lol. Looks good Jay!
Does aqua traktion come for trophy 205 too? How much would it cost?
the 205 is a good size. I always wanted to see a 205 with a 250hp on it. That thing would fly.
I have a 16 foot Lund with a 40 tohatzu and a 9.9 for trolling but this is my dream to own a 20 ft with a 200 hp tiller. I like the aluma craft or the warrior 2090BT . Someday I want to own something like this. My lund is nice but that extra 4 ft would make a big difference in room on board or running in rough water . Hopefully someday I can get one
Incredible boat and incredible video, I think we all want one now. I have a tiller too, any tips/tricks for high speed in rain or cold conditions to avoid face getting pelted or frozen, just tighten up a hood and ski goggles?
Thanks! I think ski goggles are the best option! Or a Full helmet for extreme conditions.
Motorcycle helmet with full shield.
Hey Jay, nice rig, I have a question, I am retired now and have never owned my own boat. I want to get a boat now and I just love tillers. I go fishing with a guide in upper Wisconsin in a big tiller and just love the fishing experience. What do you think of a retired guy almost 70 getting a tiller like yours for his fist boat? any opinions from anybody would be much appreciated.
