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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.
