Maybe one day I’ll be fortunate to afford a boat. Lol I’m still saving for a decent rod and reel to buy my son for Christmas. But I can’t really complain the Lord has blessed me in so many ways. Thank you for the video man.
Hey Scott. Congrats on all your success! I understand how some folks after seeing this can feel overwhelmed at the cost of this top grade equipment and it's easy to forget that it takes a long and successful career to be at top of your game. I think we can all take comfort on remembering that we can all grow at our own pace. And no matter whether we run a 150k rig or fish from shore with a pole from Walmart, it is our love for fishing that keeps us getting up at 4 am and head to the nearest water hole. God bless and keep going! Cheers from the great white north 😎😎
Scott I have a 16 x 52 jon boat with a 25 hp yamaha with tiller handle. I still appreciate all the info. It's fun to dream about. I have severe PTSD and fishing is a outlet for me. I love bass fishing with a passion. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you to SMC, FAVORITE RODS, GOOGAN BAITS, YAMAHA, RANGER BOATS and many others. BAM 👊
I wanna say scott you better look out for that sweet polite daughter of yours because she is gonna pass you and the Legend Mr Roland Martin in bass fishing! You have done great with the family you're all kind and polite people. My hats off to you!
I will be putting one in soon. It’s a flow right drain plug. I have climbed under my Skeeter to many times to hit my head on the Yamaha, power pole, etc. Save your head! Also time praying for the thing I said.
Absolute great information. That's why I love watching you and your dad both of you really give good information. I know a lot of people will bust your chops because you're sponsored by these companies. The only reason that you're sponsored by them is that you have confidence in the product. You're not going to use a product that could cost you a tournament. I used the same exact Jack plate as you. They go up and down very fast. When I was at a tournament years ago I could not believe the difference between theirs and the one that was on my boat. I could write a letter to Santa waiting for my plate to go completely down. The other thing Bob's has enough force to push the engine up and down no matter what speed you are at. A friend of mine bought a new name brand off of Amazon and when weaver messing around and I was showing him how to use the things on his boat the jack plate would not go up or down as we were accelerating. The only way to make it go up or down was to stop the boat put it in position and take off. Even with that it would slide it would not lock into place. He paid something like $400 for that thing. I don't know about anyone else but I prefer to buy things once. I am definitely going to try out the batteries. Everybody keeps on talking about the batteries and I'm bend behind when it has come to that. I really like the feature that you talked about with your charger. There is not a charger that I'm aware of that will switch your trolling motor battery to the engine battery with a simple app or even a button mounted somewhere. All the ones that I have used you still have to physically bend down and turn your switch to use your trolling motor batteries to start the boat. I know the season has already started but I do wish you very well and hope you have a great tournament year. And thank you for sharing the information on the things that help you on your boat. By the way you're trolling motor must be very very popular when I went to the website it's 5 to 6 weeks I'll wait before you can get one. So those are selling like hotcakes I like the idea of the brushless motor that's a complete game change when it comes to battery operated items.
My best investment on my ranger was talons. I understand some like powerpoles but i love talons as they go straight down. Only down side is my co angler is limited
Place this motor on m Bris 12.5 ft and worked great in saltwater. You have to get it to the highest speed 5 to get it moving when the tide is up. But on calmer waters 3-4 works good for some speed. Easy to use.
I just put my boat away it’s getting freezing temperatures in Canada. I bought a ranger z118 2012. What a difference a real bass boat makes. I have 8 foot talon they are a little loud but it’s so nice not getting my hands wet with an anchor. 150 Yamaha :)
I would love too. I feel like Scott would talk to you and hang out like he's known you for years to make you feel comfortable. Seems genuine and honest.
You can. Call Roland Martin's Marina in Clewiston FL and request a guide trip with him. And as far as him being down to earth and easy to talk to, you are exactly right.
Maybe the power pole charge could put more juice into your crank bait to attract bigger bass!!! How cool would that be…Baaam!!!!!💪💪💪 Thanks for the video Scott. Awesome content as always.
Ya know what... this was one of the best videos I have seen out there. Thank you so much. I'm fixing to buy this boat exactly except the one I'm gonna buy is a 1991 bass tracker tx 17.
Scott thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. My favorite accessories for my boat, well I don't have a boat, but my favorite accessory for my kayak I would have to say the paddle and the motor that drives the paddle. (ME) 🤣
I’m still skeptical about the lithium batteries. Just because of my own uses and needed care of them. Their temperature tolerances for FL in my 100+ degree garage is a problem. Friend is a private pilot and his plane in the hanger burned down because of the lithium battery getting too hot. But the advantages of the power delivery, longevity, low charge time and massive weight is awesome to say the least. But having to pull them to charge after fishing? Has me on staying lead.
Nice accessories on your boat thank you so much for showing them to us you really have a nice boat and I really like that Yamaha motor that you got put on this year thanks for the video and can't wait for more videos.
Scott M., There are different variations of the 36V lith battery, which do you use and/recommend? I use 3 31-AGM batteries for MK Ultrex, and 1 31-AGM for cranking.
I prefer the Minn Cota Ultrex trolling motor, humminbird helix 10 MEGA SI on main console, helix 10 MEGA DI on bow, with MEGA 360. It all pairs really well with the humminbird network. Can also get a Minn Cota cavitation mounted trolling motor to pair with power polls + drift paddles for when off shore fishing in higher winds. The only thing worth while from garmin iv seen is live scope, which has to run off lithium ion batteries because it's needs constant 12v. Going to look into that jack plate you listed, iv had my eyes on Atlas for a while now. End of the day, I'd prefer to have MEGA 360 available to me, which might as well run the entire network. I can run live scope on a separate transducer rod if I want. Lastly, if anyone is looking for good mounts check out Ballzout. Off the top of my head I think they run about 150+, realistically us guys/gals in not brand new boats can't have the same mount system he has in the video.
I’ve heard the Garmin trolling motor is great but only bad thing I’ve heard is if you are in rough water and the trolling motor comes out of the water the spot lock comes off. Or the trolling motor shuts off
Wow your boats are always amazing. I love this new one. It’s weird seeing you in a skeeter with a Yamaha. But still top of the line. Let me know when you want to do a give away. Hahaha
Your a great fisherman and I enjoy your tournament videos , the only thing I don’t like is when your videos turn into pimping for your sponsors. I totally understand that’s all part of it and I realize your doing your job , it’s just so hard anymore believing what the pros are pushing because you guys change from company to company and know that product is better then the last. I feel watching and learning from the guys that are trying to make it are more believable because some don’t get the big sponsor money. Please educate me if I’m wrong or out of place , best of luck and I hope you make the classic and elites.
Thank you sponsors for paying for the advertisement. I wonder if the list was ordered by the amount of money they pay. Would be good to get an unbiased unsponsored list from you Scott. That I would be interested in.
I have all of these. On my 4th Force. Why did you go from 10 to 8 foot poles? The extra 2 feet is big for crappie guys. I’m running an Allison xb 21 and considering putting fans to cool my batteries and to Keep my pole pumps dry
1 is a boat . 2 is time to fish . 3 is instinct . 4 is not listening to other fishermen . 5 is fishing in anything you're not comfortable with . 6 is go with your gut ! no electronics is needed when you know how to fish !
Just curious, you said you usually go with 10ft power poles but decided to go with 8ft this year. Just curious because I know it's not a money issue, why did you opt to get 8ft instead of 10? Just curious. Oh and one other question....why do you not run a hotfoot?
No big reason on the poles..probably go back with 10’s next year. Hot foot..I like to sit up in the seat on Okeechobee and look in the water. But again might have that next year too
@@maclamond Yea, these items aren't for the normal folk. $5k for power poles, $1.5k for jackplate, $1k for mounts, $1200 for the charger, $5-6k for batteries, and $3k for the trolling motor. So like $17,000 for 6 accessories.
What are YOUR favorite boat accessories you have on your boat?
Bilge pump
My Minnkota Terrova with ipilot.
I don't have a boat... Working on that though🤣
God and the love of my family. Are my biggest accessory.
iPilot. So nice to have when you need to re-tie ore get hungry.

Talk about tested equipment in all conditions. Thanks Scott. Who better to give a review like this than you pros. Will save me time and hassle.
Jack plate for sure
I bought these accessories then realized I didn't have a boat🤔😂. Like always keep up the hard work and tight linZ🤙🎣!
😂
Can you do some videos on why u picked the electronics you using, how to setup?
The power pole charge is next on my list!
Please come to Lake Lanier I will put you on some mag spots
Mounts are killer! Whenever your ready a lithium battery give away would be sweet! 🤣
When those power poles end up in the next garage give away, just remember im like the winner 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really digging the new cap with Yamaha on the side! Welcome to the Yammy family.
Prayers up for Roland. Glad to see he’s feeling better!
🙏🏼
Can’t wait to be watching you on the Elites next year brother. No doubt in my mind you got it!
I liked when you said number CUATRO!!!😂😂😂😂,,good Spanish Sr😃

I'm the most important accessory to my yak.
😂
I wish I could go fishing with this guy

I hope to run lithium batteries some day, And some powerpoles! Game changer! Thanks Scott for another fun and informative vlog. Safe Travels home...
Maybe the power pole charge could put more juice into your crank bait to attract bigger bass!!! How cool would that be…Baaam!!!!!💪💪💪 Thanks for the video Scott. Awesome content as always.
Could use them deep rough water use it 2 keep lil control
i wish they still made the ranger 522D. beast of a boat and would trade my 619fs in a heart beat.
Right there with you man. Saw a 2016 model at a derby on sturgeon bay this year. I was like 🥰🥰
Ya know what... this was one of the best videos I have seen out there. Thank you so much. I'm fixing to buy this boat exactly except the one I'm gonna buy is a 1991 bass tracker tx 17.
Thanks for the great info.! That Garmin trolling motor sounds like a winner. I might have to switch to that one. Nice Scotty reference too.
Wow Scott you remind me so much of your dad! Great video!
The thing that makes you one of the best anglers in the world is your equipment never gives you any trouble;)
Thanks for the tips! Great Video👍🏼

The lithium pro use lithium Iron Phosphate which is super stable...no issues
I really enjoy all your videos man
Are you ever fishing lake Cumberland again
Nice accessories on your boat thank you so much for showing them to us you really have a nice boat and I really like that Yamaha motor that you got put on this year thanks for the video and can't wait for more videos.
Well I went through the entire build out process for a Ranger Comanche. Oh yea. I’ll be THAT guy. Hahahahahaba. I’m coming.
great video thanks for the info on the batteries and the charger i will be getting them on my next boat
That charger is sick.
Scott M.,
There are different variations of the 36V lith battery, which do you use and/recommend? I use 3 31-AGM batteries for MK Ultrex, and 1 31-AGM for cranking.
It’s a 40amp 36v lithium pro - there should only be one to choose from. You should just contact them..they are great people and will help you out
I prefer the Minn Cota Ultrex trolling motor, humminbird helix 10 MEGA SI on main console, helix 10 MEGA DI on bow, with MEGA 360. It all pairs really well with the humminbird network.

Great video scott don't have a boat but learn alot. Always good luck in two weeks
i spend my money on electronics over power poles at the moment cause i feel like i never fish shallower than 10 ft
Everything you talked about is very very cool especially the new lithium better they're worth their weight savings
I’ve heard the Garmin trolling motor is great but only bad thing I’ve heard is if you are in rough water and the trolling motor comes out of the water the spot lock comes off. Or the trolling motor shuts off
Scott. Makes me think the front graph you didn't show us is a brand other than Garmin, or a prototype Garmin?
Hmmm..you never know
Scott what is the setback on your jackplate?
8”
Fireeeeeeeee content my dude
Wow your boats are always amazing. I love this new one. It’s weird seeing you in a skeeter with a Yamaha. But still top of the line. Let me know when you want to do a give away. Hahaha
Loved it! I subbed!🔥👍🏼🎣
What about a top 10 inexpensive accessories on your boat???
🔥🔥Awesome job Scott 💪
Great information, what AH rating do you run on your batteries?
I think 40
Awesome thanks
It’s not always about the quality of your gear, boat,rod,lures. I have a 1980 16ft double wide double deep and won a tournament in 2019 private lake!
YOU DA MAN SCOTT!! KEEP IT UP!!
your the goat scott!!!!!
Cant even afford the batteries 😂😂😂
Maybe one day 🤷♂️
Hey Scott,
What's your take on a leash for the motor?
Awesome Scott good luck out there

15 foot talon my lake is too deep for power poles, hummingbird side imaging. VHF radio, super important on lake erie.
I have all of these. On my 4th Force. Why did you go from 10 to 8 foot poles? The extra 2 feet is big for crappie guys. I’m running an Allison xb 21 and considering putting fans to cool my batteries and to Keep my pole pumps dry
Only diff is, I have the stealth system with two 36 volts for troller. I keep a back up crank , even with the stealth
I've personally with my own eyes seen you stand on that front mount sight fishing in the glades. that mount ain't nothing but the truth.
I was looking for a video more on the line of extra cup holders... 😂
You forgot something, DD26 transom saver and Steering Locks
1 is a boat . 2 is time to fish . 3 is instinct . 4 is not listening to other fishermen . 5 is fishing in anything you're not comfortable with . 6 is go with your gut ! no electronics is needed when you know how to fish !
Nice Commercial
Awesome!! I like it all
Your putting my little 17ft javelin to shame lol
How exactly does a anchor help you catch a fish?
do you run lithium cranking batteries also? and do you have a separate battery for your electronics
Love the info Scott
woohoo! 20 minute long multi company commercial!!!!
Yeah buddy...
@@ScottMartinChallenge I still watched the whole thing!! LOL
I still wanna see you fish NE Oklahoma SMF.
Awesome video.
Man all that stuff is awesome. Maybe someday but today I cant afford any of that.

eny ideas for what i can use for lake milford in kansas
You should do one of these for broke teenagers that are getting into tournament fishing.
Or broke 42 year olds with kids and a mortgage. 🤣
Theres a power pole company here in eden prairie mn
👍👌😁awesome Scott
I wish I had sponsors.... I might be able to get the mounts for fish finders, with no fish finders...F my life.
Hey Scott I look up to u always love ur content man kept it up fire 🔥
Those accessories probably cost more than 90% of the viewers' boats.
Them batteries are like 2-4 k per. Wtf
@@maclamond Yea, these items aren't for the normal folk. $5k for power poles, $1.5k for jackplate, $1k for mounts, $1200 for the charger, $5-6k for batteries, and $3k for the trolling motor. So like $17,000 for 6 accessories.
@@enjoy9772 if i could afford these upgrades i would just buy another boat
Hey Scott, is your cranking battery a Lithium? Thank you
Not on this boat right now
Awesome
1. $5,000 2. $1,100 3. $460 4. $3,000 (Electric Motor Brushes are stationry Scott.) 5. $4,500 6. $1,300 equals $16,000....!
First thing first, most of us probably need a boat to be able to put things in it.
Where you at in Tennessee?
I can't afford any of them Accessories on my boat, Hey Scott how about a GiveAway for one of them Accessories to your Subs...??? C'Mon Man....
