Thats the kind of boat you just drive around your town in winter when everything is frozen just so other fishermen can honk the horn and throw thimbs up😁. Really nice man happy for you👍🏽
Love my ghost
Wow. I think this is the best design so far. Love the red flake. Beautiful job. See you at Lake Sinclair 👍
Can't wait!
Congrats on the new boat. That is one of the nicest looking if not the best looking boat I’ve seen. That red is sexy as hell. Enjoy and be safe
Excellent boat, Brian! I look forward to checking you out on the water.
I really appreciate the information about boats and setup, and WHY.
Right on man! I have a lot more work to do on this one.
I have run a Lowrance ghost for 3 years on my tracker. Love it. Lots of power.
I bought a F195 last year for my first glass boat and I couldn't be more happier with it! I had an issue with the steering wheel and falcon sent me a replacement right away, the costumer service is top notch!!!
I love your videos. You present as just a sincere and nice guy. You talk in terms just the regular person can understand. Thanks for sharing!
Great walk through on the new bird B Lat. The attendees missed your presence at Jimbo's Fishing Expo in Atlanta this year. I wish you much success in the 2024 season. DH of the RBBC.
Thanks for taking us inside the build process.
Thanks for another great falcon vid! It makes the voices in my head telling me to spend my life savings on an f 20 predator grow louder!
Red is my favorite color. This is definitely the best looking boat you have designed! You achieved the perfect bass boat!
Passed you coming from lake hartwell and man that is a pretty boat. I bought my first falcon last year and you cant beat them. Good luck this year.
Man that video is 100% exactly what I was looking for you man I learn a ton on this page will be in the next suf class fasho 💯
Great content I can’t wait to see your tournament content this season. Hope you cash tons of checks.
My gosh all mighty that’s a beautiful boat. Maybe one day for me. Maybe one day. I think your “dependability” points were right on point.
She's beautiful!! Good luck!! here's to a new season!! Wish i had a Big Deck...
Always love your videos B best of luck this year.
Dude, this is my favorite video every year, thanks for the insight 👍
Badass ol boy! I’m jealous! Beautiful boat
If you ever need to give your boat away because you're getting a new one, hit me up. I could most definitely use one.
Think we all could... these guys typically sell them at the end of the year.
Beautiful new boat bro, i love the new colors. That tempest prop is definitely the wrong prop for that boat set up, you'll get it dialed in. GL this season, we're rooting for yah.
Sweet ride definitely going to go to lake Champlain when the tour stops there.
Intro and voice overs are👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
That red and black looks really good.
Im convinced im in the market to sell my 98 skeeter 202c and was considering another skeeter but now i want a Falcon. Dont care about all the extras you get on the skeeter I like quality and you have me convinced.
Thanks
Seems like it has quite a bit of chiming going on at top speed water doesn’t look that rough. Seems like it should be a smoother ride but it’s a beautiful boat. Congratulations. Good luck this year. God bless bless you.
I run the Ghost Trolling motor and love it! I also have HDS live graphs too.
Very nice looking boat! Also did I miss a video where you showed off that sweet camping van?! We're going to need a closer look at that! Excited to see more as tourney season picks up.
Hi Brian, I don’t know much about Falcons but after watching this it’s something I’d definitely consider. I’m a Phoenix owner and love it but if I had to change the Falcons looks interesting.
Sick UNIT Bro!!
Brian, I do have a suggestion for trim control on the steering. When we rigged high performance bass boats, we used a push button steering wheel mount for the trim. Its easier to use your thumb to adjust while driving. Its just a thought for future boats!
Yeah! I’ve used those before. Most bass boats are really easy to drive and pretty slow compared to true high performance boats so it’s really no need. I don’t even really like a foot throttle if that tells you anything about how easy my boat is to drive
I noticed that they zip tied your transducer cable to your trolling motor shaft... I'd recommend taking those off and using electrical tape to secure that cable. Zip ties cause kinks over time... generally not good for 'ducer cables!
Looking forward to seeing you at guntersville
Great looking boat
always look forward to your build videos every season!!! great boats! still, like the battleship grey one the best1 are the Power poles too low? starboard side seems to drag in videos? try a bravo1 fs also! 25-26p awesome prop on a bass boat
Columbia SC in the house!
I like the color.
I know flush mount depth finders look good but I like mine on mounts a little easier for taking down or putting back up.
I never take mine down or put up.
Dang B--my wife has despised me trolling about last years’ boat builds you’ve done…a falcon is my dream rig. Cannot wait to get her back home from work…so I can let her watch this one too lol.
B.lat I’m getting a boat soon and I always hear guys talking about road beds, brush piles and different structure it would be fire if you did a video on what that stuff looks like on the electronics 💯
Look on the electronics playlist on my Channel. I’ve done dozens of videos on that!
@@BrianLatimerFishing ok I’ll go check it out now that’s major !
Love it man that is nice😊
Just started following you a month ago, that's one badass boat
Love the red!
Congrats on 200k. Didn't realize you were from SC. I'm from Rockingham NC now western NC enjoying the small mouth.
Awesome! Thank you!
love the truck/van
love the boat my brother
You need Mercury Vessel View Mobile. Lots of live data to see on your phone while it’s running. Very easy to install.
"I need my boat to last" wait wait wait! This had me rolling... I would scroll back to all the, my new boat vids, but we all know it's true. How many boats have you owned and explain again why you need it to last?
That aside, congrats on the new boat and thanks for all the advice over the years.
I need my boat to last because I have tv shows where if my equipment isn’t working properly I loose 15,000 every time something doesn’t work.
I fish tournaments where if my boat doesn’t work properly I loose about $10,000. Do you need anymore validation to feel better about what I said?
@@BrianLatimerFishing I've thought on it, and if you can't understand the irony and the humor of getting a new boat every year and saying it has to last, to the rest of us, the poor folk that get to buy a boat maybe once in a lifetime, like myself. Then sorry your offended.
Picked up my Ghost in the off season. I think the first time I’ll get to try it out will be on Sinclair. I know Matt Stephan has ran a Ghost since they came out and swears by them. But I hear the prop’s can be an issue.
They gave me 2 props so I guess it really must be a serious issue!!
Almost perfect, missing a couple things I noticed right off bat,, No rocket boosters with fold out wings for a couple, not to mention you seriously didn’t put frickin laser beam shooters for those crowded lake days when someone on your spot!!! LoL JK !! Sweet boat and so jealous, keep it nice and I’ll let you gift it to me next Christmas 🎅
Nice! I want to go for a ride in it. ;-)
I always enjoy your boat videos, where can I find the show with you and Mark Daniels?
Beautiful boat but OMG when will bass boat manufacturers move away from that ginormous Chicano flake! I think it takes away so much from the sleek lines and the design and cheapens the look of them. A fine automotive flake or just some bold colors like East Cape does is so much better looking.
I was a commercial fisherman here in S. Florida in my late teens and we were the ONLY people I ever saw pulling a big boat with my BFF's dad's Dodge Van and here you are pulling with your Van! So cool! 👍
All you have to do is order the color you want! They only make what customers want!!! I think you’ll change your mind when you see how much no flake scratches
Iam a new falcon boat owner love it
Sam Rayburn is really low right now. Fishing has been good just bring an extra prop with ya, lots of things to hit. The water is about 7ft low. They are working on the dam
She's a beaut! 😍
I work for MLF and run the phoenix with the ghost trolling motor and it’s noisy as hell bring some silicone spray with you.
B love the channel and the new boat. On your lowrance. I got mine in 2021 and have had several problems. Not a fan of them.
that is the nicest color you have ever had
Thanks! And it’s so simple!!!
Love FALCON BOATS.. I have a budget, so I only could afford a 2024 F185. I love it. I get it to 64mph with a 150hp merc.
“Only” a 185🤣. Man that’s a helluva top tier rig.
@BrianLatimerFishing I love it. Just hit 22hrs. So I'm getting it serviced and ready for the season. Just started MLF events last yr as a Co-Angler. Made it to Regionals in Eufaula Al. So I'm jumping to being a Boater this yr
That boat is a beauty. I wish you didn't have to wrap over that gel coat
The ghost is a very slow responding trolling motor compared to the ultrex
The hardest working man in fishing....wait, ALL of social media!
Looking forward to meeting you some day, im on Lake Fork.
I want to go fishing with u one day
Brian that boat is SHARP!!!!! Too bad it is not an F195.
I know! Just so bad!
what brand of trolling motor wire jacket is that on the ghost
What made you switch you're tow vehicle ?
B Lat love your channel and you are an absolute stick. However would love to see you use more electronics to help you compete at the level you need to go to the BPT
Why would I want to fish the BPT? And how would more electronics serve me?
Sweet B-Lat! Can your graphic guys make that color of red on your skin?
Love the new boat!!! Question: Is there a particular reason you’re sticking with carpet over a sea decking material? I’ve seen a couple switch to sea decking only and swear by it. Curious on your thoughts.
I wouldn’t have a bass boat with Eva materials. It’s too slick.
@@BrianLatimerFishing Interesting. I'm planning on building out a 16ft flatbottom and was planning on sea deck type material. Maybe I need to reconsider. I guess everything is perfect in perfect conditions though but once it gets rain...look out!
@@chadsux great addition to a Jon boat! It’s just not best for a bass boat!
Good night chine and porpoise but ain't nothing wrong with 60 and falcon still in my want list.
Nice boat!!!! What the on one?
For the First Two Hours of Operation: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Get the boat on plane, and operate the engine at up to 4500 RPM's (Important: Vary engine RPM's every 2-5 minutes). Run the engine to FULL THROTTLE for 60 seconds once every 10 minutes (approximately).
Additional Recommendation: Though not listed in Owner's Manuals, it is an excellent idea to have the engine make at least two (2) complete HEAT CYCLES during the first 2 hours of operation. A heat cycle consists of: Ambient temp, start engine, come to operating temp, run engine for at least 5 minutes on plane, return to idle, stabilize engine temp, shutdown engine and allow to cool to ambient temp. Note: Heat cycles CAN be done on different days.
European am post on BassBoatCcentral
My thoughts is if it’s built right it’ll run right 😂
@@BrianLatimerFishing same up to a whole 9 hrs on mine runs great
What does something like this cost???
That's one of a kind is't. I do like the Falcon. It cuts the water like better and it's just so clean. B can you get me in a Falcon? My B-Day coming up and that would be a nice gift to me. B-Lat let me know if you can help with making that happen.
Is that the new A Team van your pulling it with ?
Storyteller is the name.
I don’t mean to be that guy but it looked like you started to chine in the mid 60s , my champ 202 doesn’t chine til it’s in the low to mid 70s , granted the best I’ve seen in mine was 75.6
Was going to say this seems very familiar. 😂
Really? Explain.
@@BrianLatimerFishingI remember the first boat build déjà vu brought me back
Is that your new tow rig for the season ?
Shhhhhhh……. We’ll talk about that a little later
What glasses are those?
I wish I could buy your old boat. I would really want to go fishing with you. How do I win that trip? And what doing with your old boat?
It’s for sale. I’ll post it here when I get it detailed
#bigdecks 😂
I want a falcon.😢
I have one for you that’s ready for sale
That red looks good. Black boats look good but i think its getting played out
I want a white boat. But I can’t seem to think of a way to make it look good with our black trailers.
@BrianLatimerFishing white with a black Falcon on the side will break it up a little for the trailer. I like an OD green and black. Like a jon boat lol
Nice boat! Sorry to say that bass fishing is no longer a 'Working Man's' sport. Nothing about it is affordable for mainstream anglers. Never did I think I'd see this day.😔
I’m curious to hear facts that support this ideology. How else have you seen anyone get what they want other than working for it?
What is it that you feel entitled to given your work ethic?
What is a mainstream angler?
Any for sale
My 2023 boat is for sale
Why only 2 graphs? Most guys are running at least 3 or 4
B Lat. You know I love you but when are You not Building Something! 😂😎🤙🏿😹 #CmonCuz
January through October to be exact 👍🏾
No mask around that much Fiberglas is WILD
Well most people didn’t even want to wear them during the pandemic 🤣
@@BrianLatimerFishing Fiberglass particles are about 100 microns in size... C19 particles are about 100 nanometers in size... 1000 nanometers can fit inside of one micron... So viral particles are 1000 times smaller than fiberglass particles... Breathing in fiberglass particles is hazardous... Masks stop fiberglass particles if they fit well and if you wear them correctly... Masks do fuck all to stop viral particles... Its like trying to stop mosquitoes with a chain link fence... The narrative the news fed us about masking to prevent C19 was all bullshit..
Gurantee a basscat or phoenix would burn your falcon LOADED, lmk what u hit when your boat is fully loaded and what u run
A basscat is about half the width of a any real bass boat…..
Can you get a falcon without carpet, I don't understand why carpet is still a thing we put in boats. Seadeck is the way to go
I don’t really like the sea deck. It’s too slippery during freezing temps. If it was better we’d have the EVA. We have the capacity to do it. It’s just not better than carpet for bass fishing
love my ghost but hate the props get spare props and a ninja grass cutter -- props break easily and are terrible in the grass
I have 2 extras. Hope I don’t have to deal with it too much
@@BrianLatimerFishing ninja grass blade or 2 also needed! florida first trip? maybe the grass is not up yet though?
I like the bird it flows with the lines on the boat. Just looking at it and it says I'm fast and you don't want none of this. Simple and clean is nicer than gaudy and over the top.🎣🎣🎣🎣
