This the first three trips with my Bass Tracker Classic XL. I ordered my Tracker Classic XL in January and finally got it in June and these are the first three boating trips. My new bass boat is an absolute joy and has made my fishing adventures that much more fun.

I just saw your video this morning, 1/1/24. I tell ya, I don't know if I have ever seen a man as happy looking as you in that new boat! Gosh, you were smiling throughout the whole time. You and your beautiful wife looked like you were really going to have a great time. This made my day.

And we are still smiling. We absolutely love this boat and enjoy every minute in it.

Frank. When loading the boat, drive the boat all the way onto the trailer. Attach your hooks and winch it while you're still in the boat or standing on the tongue. Then climb out of the bed of the truck onto land. You don't have to get into the water. That ramp you're at on day one is super shallow, but you could still go from the bed to the cab. Getting up to your knees in the water is fine in June, but that'll suck when the waters got some bite to it.

I hear you Scott, my method works great for me. in spring I wear waders. keep in mind none of my lakes have a dock so you are in the water or mud when you beach the boat and go get the truck. I also, don't see the boat of getting back in the boat, starting it up and driving it on when I'm right there. But that's just me lol.

I called several places and most were saying, you won’t be able to find one because they are wanted by everyone. I finally found one an hour and 45 minutes away, so I’m going to pick it up tomorrow. My point is, don’t give up when they tell you to wait in line. Someone has one in stock. Good luck!

Lower your motor when fishing off the front frank if the wind catches you it will turn you completely around I just ordered ,e a bass tracker classic I’ve owned used boats but never a new one I’m going from a 90 model to a new one your videos helped me with buying one keep doing what your doing buddy you sold me on a bass tracker classic

Wow I sold you on a boat amazing. I absolutely love my Tracker. Now keep in mind it’s my first boat so I really have nothing to compare it to. Lol. And thanks for that amazing tip pal. I will absolutely try that. Makes total sense never really occurred to me. And the wind does push the boat around. I can’t wait to try this.

Nice boat Frank. Careful when navigating using Garmin or Navionics. I learned the hard way in Porters Lake that the chart is not always accurate. Dont always account for rocks or shoals. I lost one prop but hey what boater hasn't. Best of luck with the new boat. You will love it! Cheers

@FrankZinck 4 жыл бұрын

BINGO! I have discovered this too. I fish Grand Lake a lot and the supplies maps do not match the contouring I’m seeing on my fish finder. The fist time I used the boat was Morris Lake. The very first night. The map said 15’ and there was only 2’. I set the alarm for three feet. It really freaked me out. So I don’t trust it any more.

hahahahaha no more wacko then me...... so........... lol. It was nice chatting with you I'm glad your enjoying the videos. That night I caught probably 20 Bass right there out from the boat launch. I came back in just before dark and fished that cove until dark. The bass were in feeding and it was beyond crazy. So much fun. Then Tuesday night I did the same thing and only caught 1. It was crazy.

Great video, you're doing great for your first boat bro... I noticed you completely raise your motor out of the water when you're fishing from the front deck, I would suggest living it slightly submerged to make the boat more stable and less susceptible to the wind, you'll save having to constantly correct with the trolling motor if it gets a bit windy.. cheers 🍻

I probably would have bought this boat already, but discovered it doesn't have the versatrack system. Not sure, but I think it's the only Tracker boat in their lineup that doesn't. I'm leaning towards the Pro Team 175.

@FrankZinck Жыл бұрын

I really wanted the versatrack. But the difference in price made it too expensive. In the end I don’t even think about now. I mounted 4 rod holders around the boat and a downriver. I really don’t need or miss not having the versatrack. Still it would have been a bonus to have I guess.

We love the boat. Our lakes are not very big so the tank is perfect for me. I carry a 5L can as well but have never needed it. Taking it in and out is pain to fill. But on the same token I can fill up the boat without taking the boat lol.

I put a Garmin at the cockpit and the bow. I had Basspro install it. My XL came with the 50HP it buggies right along. Most of our lakes are small so it does me fine. Goes close to 40 when it’s calm.
