Hello again, The Poor Mans Stiffy Pole. I’m been looking for it on Grangers Website. But no luck. What’s the Actual name of the product? Thank you in advance
It handles choppy water fairly decent as far as how shallow will it run well there are some factors. If you are like me with no jack plate you can run in about 16” of water with little weight in boat. You need around 20” to plain off. With a jack plate I’ve heard you can run in as little as 9” with little to no weight in boat.
Love ❤️ the boat 👍👍🍺🍺😎 Subscribed. I plan on getting the same boat, I think the prices went up for 2022. Really nice 👍 having the 60hp. Should be great on gas ⛽️👍👍🎣🎣 Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
I have the pro skiff 15, and had it for 19 months. I recommend the pro skiff 17 due to the aft (rear) live well working properly. The live well in the center console tends to catch air and fails to cycle in water leaving you with dead bait if not checked regularly. It's become too much of a hassle to unscrew the nozzle and sucking on it to get it going again. Buy a secondary bubbler in case you forget to check the live well to keep your bait alive.
@@JoseGonzalez-wk2tl I heard about that problem, its not the same issue on the 17? I was going to get the 17 since I have to order, but now I heard 6 to 8 months out on an order, no thanks, I'll wait until the economy crashes again lol boats for sale everywhere then.
@@Carnivorefitness2024 it's a manufacturer defect on all pro skiffs but, it's still a great boat. I do recommend waiting since the demand is high and quality of boats now are having issues. Already had 3 defects with the boat so far. Mako warranty is the best in the business, to which they fixed it no questions asked.
@@hab-outdoors I run an old town with a Mercury 2.5hp 2 stroke and while I THINK I’d run a Mako like this 100’s of hrs in its first year, I’m sure it would end up being far far less. What takes me an hr takes you a few minutes. 😂 I’ve looked at the pro skiffs some, they’d surely fit most of my needs on the Chesapeake. I REALLY want a side console or at least a little tiny center console that didn’t take up all the deck space.
Change out that plastic steering wheel out. Video's of it here on youtube. Did that cooler seat with the backrest? Should get 35 miles on 6 gallons (I never trust that though). Fusion radio with shallow mount speakers on both sides of the center unit (fits well) and sounds great bouncing off of the hull. Fish like Talking Heads or so I think. 2015 17 pro bought new for me. Smashed a plastic fender (my fault) easy to replace. I like the storage in the newer ones. Why don't the boat makers make a round bait tank? They just don't get it. I never use mine.
Yes sir the back rest came with it. Steering wheel is doing great for now. I have it under a cover so all is protected. I've never really payed attention to how far the fuel gets ya. It's a great boat and we'll worth the money. As far as the bait well goes it's a never ending battle with the designers.
@@hab-outdoors The steering wheel has a suicide knob on it making it easy to do with one hand. I never liked the plastic one. I do like the boat and do go ocean striper fishing in it. Upgraded the side color and trailer.
Damn man I had to read your reply twice. I thought you said stripper fishing!!! Lol. There may be a day I change out the steering wheel and when I do I'll definitely give the one you're talking about
@@hab-outdoors SCHMITT MARINE STEERING-Vision Elite 13 1/2" Steering Wheel with Knob First thing I changed then the Fusion radio I would be down for stripper fishing as long no fishy smell.

LOL. Thats awesome. I can't remember actually name of product. I will look into it tomorrow and let you know for sure. Thanks for watching
They have definitely gone up in price. They are now $120 vs the $75 I paid. Look up DYNAFORM rod stock. 1"×10'
How does it handle in chop ans how shallow can you go ( or fish in).

I do take mine on the ocean in New Hampshire can handle a lot and yes you do get a bit wet.

Absolutely love that boat with that Mercury 60 hp
Be safe please and always enjoy 👍🍺🍺
Thank you
I have a fishing rod holder likes your, just break last week, some kind big fish snaped right on the middle , lost my fishing rod and reel
That’s got to be a gut wrenching my friend. Sorry to hear that. At least it was by a beast and not by a thief.
How shallow can you go on it to fish on and be able to plane back up again?
Without a jack plate you can plane off in about 16" with a hard turn
Also if you haven't already if you wouldn't mind subscribing and helping us out we'd appreciate it. Thanks
Great video, I was going to get the 15, nothing in stock, so I might just get the 17 since I have to wait 3 months to get either.
You will definitely be happy with a 17. No doubt.

Ha ha. No doubt. In my area there alot of Mako 17 and 15 for sale. Not sure why as they are truly good boats.

1 year old and less than 40 hrs?!?! You’re the kind of guy I wanna buy a boat from! Lol
You wouldn't think it but I fish all the time. It's only a few miles to my spot from the boat ramp

Man, I'd bet you a coke and a candy bar that you would love the boat. Especially the motor. Have you had the chance to ride in one of the pro skiffs?
@@hab-outdoors Nope, never even seen one in the wild!
First chance you get hop on one. You won't regret it
