@@philOKC Hey! Thanks for watching. The 28 Reef Runner wasn’t available when we were looking, there was some rumblings that it was in the works but not enough credible info as for targeted availability dates or even a rendering to make us wait to see. From what I’ve seen with Reef Runner it looks like a capable boat, what stood out to me that I didn’t care for was the cockpit view/setup. Most of our issues have been addressed and taken care of, I highly recommend doing a sea trial of at least 2 boats on your list. That’s what really moved the needle for us at the end. I’ll try to post an update about the resolved issues if things slow down at work.

@@spinfish1434 Hey, 1st off thanks for watching the video and the feedback. I checked out your channel and you have some good content keep it up! Yes one of the 2 ramps we put in at unfortunately is a little bit of a shallow launch as there’s a hole that the trailer tires will get stuck in, the other our hand is only forced at low tide. We can sink it at high always aiming for the wheel well and bunks to be decently covered. We will have to see about the Gatorback as I have had 50/50 opinions from forums, I’m skeptical having been a traditional carpet guy the last 30 years.

We had wanted the sea keeper ride, however it was not offered by sportsman from the factory at the time due to demand/design. I went ahead and contacted sea keeper myself as a retrofit and discovered they are willing to do it however it voids my hull warranty due to it being a “modification of the hull” so for now just good old fashioned trim tabs.

Yes we were thoroughly impressed the first time we took her out. Thank you for watching!

Yes the COVID price increase, redesign and boat shortage forced our hand

We agree!

Sea Keeper Ride while underway!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for watching! Just trying to provide honest feedback on the most expensive thing besides my house I will ever buy.

@@jaxadams4254 hey just wanted to clarify, yes you can run it while running it still works and all. Just after talking with the manufacturer they had stated to disengage it while running/on plane to lower the stress on the stringers but yes you could run with it on.

@@JasonLanders04 yeah it’s not exactly perfect. I would hope that it was just a mixed caulking on our boat. The plan currently is to recaulk it and hopefully that fixes it. Thanks for the watch!

That’s another one we are in the process of making right now. I’ll try to expedite that for you.

The ride is very dry with your average wind. On days with say a 15-20 mph winds a little spray when we are getting after it. Next time I’m out I’ll film a short focusing on the spray.

Just posted a short on our page for you showing us running at 23mph on a very windy day.

It does a pretty decent job at handling bigger seas honestly, once you find the sweet spot with the trim tabs + motor trim. The sea keeper add is something I would 100% recommend though especially if you’re going with the tuna tower. If you’re able to stretch to the 30ft I would just because the added stability and cut we felt while test driving. Unfortunately it was just outside our budget.

Yeah id really like to get into the 322 with a sea keeper and tower but the 28ft with seakeeper and tower is within budget and the other is not so will have to stick with the 282 for now maybe on down the road we can uograde. All i care about it being able to go 60-100 miles off shore to get after some big yellowfin. And monster amberjacks

Just posted a short for you on our page to give you an idea in about 3 ft seas, if it stirs up to some bigger swells next time I’m out I’ll reshoot one for you.

Hey Jason, yes we are in the process of making an update video along with a performance video. We will explain in the video why there has been a long pause in content we definitely want to be more on top of things… but in short the boat is great so far, a few nuances like any boat which I will hopefully cover in the coming videos. Top speed is around 53mph fully loaded for fishing, fuel consumption is good but I’ll get back to you with those specific numbers. Thanks for the view!

Here’s a link to our 100 hour review

Thank you, we should be posting some updates soon. Weather down here has had us stuck in the past few weeks.

Thanks for the follow! One thing we have learned so far is that your relationship with your dealer is key. So far ours has been phenomenal.

Trust me, it’s never intentional… I’m convinced the lures are made to hook the buyer not the fish!

So far so good. Looking forward to testing them out.
