2021 BOAT CHANGE? BMP Fishing Boat Tour

we going fishing huh no we gotta film a boat tour video i i thought we were going fishing though no we got work to do uh am i am i gonna get paid at least i got cinnamon rolls and coffee [Music] all right let me show you guys around my 2021 office brand new 2021 skeeter fxr 20. let's check it out so it's only been rigged up for maybe half a day finished up we got one more thing to do up here i'll show you guys that but up here front of the office minn kota ultrex 112 pounds of thrust 52 inch trolling motor i run the 52 so when we go up north we get in that big water i don't have to worry about the prop coming out nearly as much in the big water just does a better job and with the old treks with the infinite shaft i can raise this as much as i need to i can take the 360 off if i need to got a th g-force prop nut on there hydro wave so that we're all dialed up got the troll lock and this is through bolted so that in that big water we're locked down that thing saved me last year at champlain and then i'm actually going to take you guys around this direction obviously minn kota 360. my number one tool on the water right now we've got two humminbird solex 12s they're the exact same units and you can see there's this space right here the space this is where my third humminbird solex 12 is going to go i'm going to attach this to a single dash mount that'll give me a little bit of space and just enough so i can now a nice low profile mount right here and that's gonna be the same unit that is going to be for the new humminbird mega live which is coming out within the next week or two this is a prototype mount that we're working on it's gonna be a short stacker for precise outdoors uh this is actually gonna have another lip that comes up on it i've actually got scott in town right now and we're messing around with different ways to mount this stuff new raptor stomp switches so i can control my raptors right here up and down piece of cake different modes all of that and then this is one cool little thing that we did when you start adding a bunch of graphs up here you lose your trim switches and everything up here or they get blocked so if you want to do your trim quickly we added a trim switch so i've got a momentary trim switch for my yamaha right there i can kick that nice and easy obviously the best rod straps in the industry right here fully decked out rigid a series so again i do all the rigging myself did all this mounted these ridgids have not ran a boat without these on the decks since 2012. and same thing with all the compartments but i'm gonna wait i'm gonna show you guys that we'll get in the boat the stickers this is my windshield from last year so i took it off my last boat stomped it on here we have meg's the van show them the real mags this is the sticker this is the sticker show them the real mags give them the real mag glorious there needs to be like some angelic music that plays aka kyle's house back to our console so this is the office when we're not fishing that's our fishing office this is our study office swinging around two more hummingbird stolix 12s so we've got a little rubber covers on them side imaging down imaging mapping 2d for when we're on pad running and fully decked out dual pro size deck it mount for the console love this mount there's this mount that i've been running for the last probably six years now i think ever since i've been running two graphs back here that's the mount that i've ran never had an issue with it this is our switch for our ridgids right here i got i don't have the power turned on yet so i can't even show you those to you guys um and then same stuff skeeter's always had awesome control panel here for our live wells all of that stuff if you guys want more details of that you can watch my video from last year because this control panel is the same flow right drain plug i love that skeeter went to this so that you don't have to worry about screwing your plug in if you forget and you're on the water you just turn the switch pulls your plug in you're good to go i've got my raptor control right here next to the console i love that you can pull this out if you need to you've got it nice and easy oxymax switches dry dock dry dock is what's going to blow air through our compartments and you know just keeps moisture at a minimum if you do if you get rain or whatever inside your compartments when you're working on stuff back here this is where i keep like a lot of my life jackets i'll keep spare tools and some spare little parts for in case i do have to fix anything on the water i will hop in here grab it out of there uh this is where i mount my gps puck so give you guys kind of just that little bit of information heading sensor here i've got one at the front and one at the back so this is for the back one that's for the front one i want it close to my transducer and close to the units that i'm running that off of so that i get the best accuracy possible right here on the back brand new minn kota raptors these things are awesome they're super stout they're not flopping around uh i love everything about these so far i've got to use them one day on the water just playing around super impressed with this design they look awesome so nice work minn kota you guys nailed the raptor my favorite motor of all time the only motor i've trusted on the elite series yamaha 250 sho running a 25 t2 yamaha prop on it this year i like the 25 gives me a little bit better control in the big water and gives me a little bit better hole shot and then when we get really hot in the summer or get in higher altitudes the 25 is gonna be right there in that perfect uh rpm range that we wanted at and then i've got we'll swing around on this side i can show you guys the raptor atlas jack plate so that's what i've been running on all my skeeters since i started got the dd26 mean mount this is actually the brand new yamaha version so it'll fit multiple trim sizes and the new gen two dd-26 steering i can't mean mean mount steer stops steer stops yeah sounds clear and that's about it i'm back so let's hop in i'll use this fancy little skeeter step [Applause] this is nice come on kyle so this is where i keep all of my rods on this side of the boat super clean wide open i do a little customization it comes with a tube i like to carry a lot of rods during practice and stuff so i actually open that tube up and slide more rods in there so that's going to be my main question question what you got what question uh can you fit in that one yes all right night night my dad oh dude it's locked you got the key this one's definitely the most comfortable maybe i just had the wrong angle great success great success this is just a little dry storage compartment so this is where i keep like ultrex remote just in case keep plugs for the live well i'll charge my gopros and stuff in there keep you know screen cleaner and stuff in there this is the tackle storage now obviously ridgids inside all the compartments a swap out put low power cool white a series from ridgid in here and then this is something that i did this year this is new i actually put in my own padding so i made a little cardboard cutout and added this little foam padding in the bottom to just try to quiet it down a little bit it does come with two foam strips in there already but i just wanted to add more to that so i added that in there that's where all my bass mafia boxes will go slide around to this side same thing wide open here i usually carry like a spare seat fill this up full of a bunch more tackle a bunch of plastics that i keep inside the bass mafia briefcases or the bud bags keep those in there little day box that you can take in and out sometimes i'll take this into the camper fill it up with the tackle that i need or fill it up from the boat bring it in here give him a shot of this look at this cleanliness oh all labeled so we know which graph they go to right so it's bow one bow two about three about four it's got everything labeled everything's zip tied so i run two ethernet boxes so that i've got my old treks all five hummingbird units everything is networked together including the mega 360 the live all of that can be seen on all my units we've got our nice little tool holders in case you guys haven't seen that or seen that in the last video same tool holders love this design hopefully we don't ever have to use this this year we just catch them and you're like yeah that one's big enough and you just put it in the box as long as you only put five in there you're good you don't you're not 36 in this time are you i'm gonna try not to no more even though kyle tries to convince me to put six in the boat because i've done it three times and i've won two out of the three times i've done it those are pretty good odds pretty solid the other time i made a top 10 so it's pretty solid garbage can is removable so makes it easy to go and dump it's actually a nice feature what's your favorite this this is you know where my favorite feature this is kyle's favorite feature this is uh the cooler aka kyle's snack bin if you can fit there needs like as many snacks as possible and a few good drinks nice cooler and it's actually cushioned so if you do have to put a third person in here they can sit here sometimes we have like a marshall and a camera guy sometimes you have both um cupholders th hotfoot love driving a boat i know some guys don't drive with a hot foot but i love being able to have both hands on the steering wheel and control the power with my foot about it other than the back deck right here hop to the back do a live wells open up from the side you can see i've got my nice little raffle of cold tags right here at the ready only five pro size outdoors cold keeper so that we can stay organized i think i've got a pretty good system for this year to not screw up it's a good so when i do screw up later this year you can go back to this video and yeah again more ridgids in here lights it up well this you can see is the dry dock system so this is the venting goes through all the compartments and blows air in here to just help eliminate any moisture that you might get in there we're on the water it rains it snows you're gonna get moisture in places and then i'm gonna take you here to the back this beautifulness let me vacuum up some of that fiberglass so there is this is where a lot of the rigging ends up happening to me this is one of the best if not the best designs out there in the boating world of how clean and open this is and how easy it is to access everything so right here this comes standard from the factory from skeeter this is a purchase switch that i can jump from my cranking battery to my trolling motor batteries and pull power from those trolling motor batteries so you go to one for normal operation then i can go to all or two to pull from either just one trolling motor battery or all my trolling motor batteries right here you can barely see these i've got the rest of it all zip tied up these are sonar pros harnesses so each one of these is a fuse for one of those harnesses which goes to each individual graph that is then rigged to another perka switch and that is what keeps all of my graphs separate from any other electrical interference skeeter does a phenomenal job of adding larger wire and creating their own fuse block and everything for your sonar units this is just above and beyond the extra mile and then raptor pumps right here piece of cake one agm group 31 i'm gonna start by trying to run five graphs off of that we'll see how it goes minn kota precision charger 460 15 amps per bank on that bad boy and then over here we'll pull this little tray out i finally made this switch i'm running three 12 volt impulse lithiums they're 100 amp hours super pumped about this i was blown away when i first put those in the boat at how light they are um pretty impressive i'm gonna let kyle clean that up i don't know if you guys caught that but that might have been noisy it's a little cold and kyle literally just dropped his nose snot onto my battery that's disgusting you have to understand though look at the little look i'm just hanging out the back with boots hold on clean it up oh man that was disgusting whatever that was gross uh did i just lose my job yeah i just took over the camera you got this i'm gonna have snacks that's what we got for the boat tour hope you guys enjoyed that if you guys got questions leave it in the comments below i'll add a link if you guys want to check out those impulse lithiums we do have a discount on those for you guys they were generous enough to give us a code for a discount so make sure you guys go check those out you got any questions let me know hard on the baseline i ain't gonna stop my first w in florida this year st john's river so you're saying we should put you on the fancy team
