Come take a look inside Matt's brand new boat! Let's look under the locker lids at how he stores his tackle and what he's really fishing with! We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Matt is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, and the mindset behind how he lays out a boat for proper boat handling and tackle organization.

We're so excited about this new boat! From the brand new Yamaha SHO outboard, to the Dakota Lithiums with giant capacities, this boat is built to handle everything we can throw at it! After decades of fishing out of every kind of used boat imaginable, this is the first new bass boat he's designed from the ground up. As Matt opens up his new boat and explains his layout, pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how he organizes it to create a stabile driving and fishing platform. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat!

New Boat For 2021!! Aluminum Jet Boat!

Let's go exploring! This aluminum boat has been Matt's dream for 3 years! While fast bass boats and advanced technologies are important parts of bass fishing, there is something to be said for a basic aluminum that can run in skinny water, away from the crowds. Come along as Matt shows his new (used) aluminum boat and talks about where TacticalBassin is headed in 2021!

The boat is a War Eagle 1754 With a Yamaha 4 Stroke 70 HP motor. Its going to allow Matt and Tim to explore backwaters, ponds, rivers, and creeks, that could never be explored with the bass boat or even the kayak. They will be able to venture into new areas, reach untouched fish (hopefully) and take you along on all kinds of adventures! Matt is keeping the boat very simple. He's installing a depth finder and a trolling motor so the guys can fish comfortably, but that will be the extent of the technology. 

When its time for advanced videos, the guys will be in their bass boats. When its time to just go fishing and have a good time, they'll be in the aluminum, and when its time to pick apart places that can't be reached by either one, they'll be in the kayaks. 

Below you'll find links to the handful of upgrades Matt is making to the boat, along with some of his favorite tools and equipment that he put into the boat for safety and reliability. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

My Wife Bought A Boat! Full Tour of CC's New (Used) Boat - Complete DIY Restoration

Our wives love to fish! CC already had an older Ranger bass boat but she needed a larger platform. She upgraded to a used Champion 198 this Winter and has been working on DIY projects to dial it in all Spring. When she got the boat it was stripped, leaving room to rig it any way her heart desired. Come along as she gives a full tour, showing every detail of how she chose to rig this boat. From the Ultrex 112 trolling motor to brand new electronics and accessories throughout, she did it right!

Buying a bass boat can be a very stressful time. For the angler buying a new boat, you're faced with the anxiety of selecting from a handful of electronics options, color schemes, engine sizes, etc. For the angler purchasing a used boat, you're faced with fears of reliability and hidden damage. For both groups, it can be an incredible experience if you have a little confidence about what you're looking for. If you're considering a used boat purchase, this video will tell you everything you need to look for before committing to buy: https://youtu.be/cZtbnWpl4uI

After making a purchase the next step is to dial the boat in so you feel like its your own. This may involve big purchases like a new motor, shallow water anchors, or seats. It could also just be as simple as a few stickers that make it feel personal. When CC purchased her boat it was stripped. There was no trolling motor, electronics, batteries, charger, etc... She had a blank slate to work with and over the course of a few months we were able to buy and install all the parts and pieces to make it her own. 

Below are a list of the parts and equipment that were upgraded. We'll follow the course of the video so we'll begin in the stern and work our way to the bow.
