Avid 20 XB Aluminum Boat

by Leave a Comment

Check out the new Avid 20 XB Aluminum Boat. From what I am reading, it was revealed at the 2020 Bassmaster Classic. This is one sharp-looking aluminum bass boat. I get that it is not for everyone, but for those looking for a tournament bass boat, you might want to take a look at Avid Boats. Looks like there is way more room for the driver than what is in my Ranger. That’s… ...Read More

Fish Finder Basics

You know, something even I could understand. Definitely take the time and watch this video if you are considering a side imaging unit.

Garmin Panoptix Livescope

by 2 Comments

The Garmin Panoptix Livescope system looks to me like it’s the real deal if you are looking for a live scan system. I’ve never considered Garmin as a choice for boat electronics because I always associated Garmin with handheld GPS systems. After watching this video and doing a little research, I think this could change, but for a system like this,… ...Read More

Lowrance Ghost

by Leave a Comment

Lowrance just sent an email letting everyone know that the Lowrance Ghost is available to order. I was able to see this trolling motor first hand at ICAST 2019 and was impressed with what I saw. I knew this amount of impressiveness would come with a hefty price tag, and I was right. The Lowrance Ghost can be yours for a chest-pain inducing $3000 MSRP. How do I sneak… ...Read More

Gator Trax 20ft Strike Series

by

Can you say WOW? Get a load of this Gator Trax 20ft Strike Series aluminum boat. This boat is a beast. It has a 250HO Evinrude G2. This boat pushes 80mph. I know it’s not for all of us, but for some, it is! I love this setup. The only thing I would do differently is rip out that second console and add a couple of Minn Kota Talons. I love the dry storage boxes because… ...Read More
