I bought the exact boat in August of 21. The 70 hp will idle at about 2.2mph. Top speed is 31-32mph. I have 5 batteries on board and 2 Minnkota anchormates with 32# anchors. I really like this boat. The motor jumps on plane quick and is very stable.

nice boat, you gave a good tour I like all the storage

I love the design of this boat! I would have a slightly lower horsepower outboard. I would also have a Garman Force trolling motor with live view for the bow!

I’d buy it when your done with it.. nice

I have an Alumacraft Classic 165 CS (2017). I wish I would have gotten the tiller model. If you do upgrade I would recommend the vinyl deck. Very easy clean up especially if you are using nightcrawlers. Great thorough tour of your boat.

I like tiller boats. More room to fish. :)

I have the smme rig 🙂, do yourself a favor and get Tiller Assist.

Thank you for the info, for me, just want a simple fishing boat, no bells and whistles. 40hp motor and maybe 16 ft long. that is it. I'm a kentucky poor fisherman, using jawbone baitcasting combo w/2 pi rod 6'.6", with 20lbs line. $49.99 can't bet it. Just saying. Bank fishing rivers, lakes & creeks, catch and clean and cook hem.

Great video

Nice boat. Sure nicer than mine!

Let's see an update on the chickens, and a deer stand tour!

What's the price?

Always leave you hatches open during storage, the boat will dry out better. Never should have water in your boat for prolonged periods

Put the light where the fly rod is.

That boat is very similar to my Alumacraft Lunker yet very different. Probably a little heavier cause although mine is 16.5 feet long it is rated for just a 50 HP outboard. Also my livewell is on the side of the boat, which when full really changes the balance in the boat. And also I don't have an internal gas tank, just a 6 gallon external tank. Your boat would be a nice upgrade to mine, let me know when you sell it in a few years I might be interested!

its a good boat, i had one i bought new in 2013.

Awesome!

Where did you get your boat

I'm wanting to get a boat like that the only problem is I'm in the south and I will have to order it without seeing it. My question is there any way you could tell me the length and width of the cockpit. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks if you can and thanks for the video.

Upgrade to the foldable tie downs;)

How many people do u think u could fish out of it comfortably?

Would this size boat handle ok with bigger lakes on a windy day? Leech, or LOTW? Or would a 17 or 18 foot be better?

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for that boat and set up?

What lake are you on looks sweet!

Nobody ever talks about the lowest speed (MPH) that Yamaha 70 will go down to. I know they have the RPM adjust like most motors, but what is the slowest speed using that feature that 70 will troll???

Do you like the shorelander trailer? Is it a 2 bunk or 4? I see quite a few Alumacraft 165 models like this and the classic on heritage and eagle brand trailers to that look much sturdier.. anyone else have opinions on trailer?

I'm on a boat!

What's the top speed with just you in it?

I was your first view

Hello, what prop size do you have on the Yamaha 70 pushing your boat? Thanks

How slow can you troll with that 70 HP?

how much was it with everything

I like a deep v, but I wonder why your 165 seems to lean to starboard as you sit in back. I can't stand a tippy boat.
