love the layout, almost identical to my 2022 Nitro Z-19. My favorite feature of all the boats I have owned over the years is the fishing net holder, which is the same. No more tripping over it laying in the cockpit, no more getting the net caught on something.... its in a perfect spot, out of the way but easily accessible when needed. I can't believe more manufacturers have not went with that location.
What a beautiful piece of machinery you got there Hank!! Thanks for the walkthrough. Your right, it does look well thought out! Looking forward to many more videos out of your new boat!
I have the same boat White /Black with red pins , only 3 hours on it . Pulled it from Virginia to Florida to fish the Stick Marsh and Im very happy with it so far . One pointer for any CAYMAS owners . I dropped a knife through my tool/plier storage that's in the cockpit next to console and passenger foot pad . I assumed there was a sealed off cavity there, took the plate off to get the knife out and discovered its open all the way to the fuel tank and foam that covers the tank . Although there is no wood in these boats to rot , I really would not want water entering my fuel tank cavity, or foam getting wet . a few waves on a rough day , or down pour and its getting in there . I sourced a piece of black poly black starboard and traced out the stock piece off the boat and put a bead of sealant and used the original screw holes and did away with the plier holders . Looks like it came from the factory this way.
Brother I feel this! I went from a 19ft Skeeter with a 150 to a Phoenix 921 elite with a 250. I live in a double wide and pull my boat with a 99 F250, but man do I have a kick ass bass boat! She is my dream boat!
Hank that is a beautiful rig! I'm really happy for you, much deserved. I see things in it that remind me of my Triton HP-21, back when Triton was owned by Earl. He sure thinks of the fisherman. As much as I like my Triton and I know you probably felt the same, I would never buy a new one. Just like most Ranger guys, they would more than likely not buy a new one now. Not going into it but you know what I'm talking about. Earl use to send my client / old friend, Randy Sanders, a new boat every year when he was coaching football at Tennessee, KY and FL State but when he retired a couple years ago and had to buy his own boat, he got a new Caymas CX21. We went fishing a few months ago and I asked him what he thought, he said it's like all Earl Bentz boats, well made and built for fisherman. He also said the customer service is second to none. If I was buying a new one today, it would be at the top including a Vexus VX20. I really like the new IKON but dang there's not many folks can afford a $145,000 bass boat. If you're coming down to the Big Indian, give me a shout and take me fishing in the new rig LOL! Take care buddy
Looks like a beautiful boat! Bassgeek I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed my Phoenix that I bought a year ago! Wishing you many years of happiness in it man!
Love the color combo! I picked up a leftover 2022 CX19 in February with the Mercury 225 and it’s an absolute beast. 65+ with ease. Still playing with the manual Jack plate to squeeze every mph out of it I can. I’ve got 8ft raptors and a power pole charge. So far it’s not been skunked yet in 3 tournaments!
@@BassGeek I have no doubt. That is definitely a momentous occasion in the life. And I know you and your family and friends who enjoy it for years to come
Congratulations 🎊 👏 🎊, I'm crazy excited for you. I could only imagine how excited you are. Can't wait for all the new content coming out of that thing. 🎉🎉🎉
Damn Hank!!! The wait is finally over & that is one sweet rig man! Gotta admit, I caught myself droolin a coupla times there😂 congrats to you!!! #100percentwatchsquad👊
I love your boat! Really, with that much horsepower with the right prop should be 80mph. I guess weight of the boats today are heavy which makes them more stable in rough water, and more drive able and fishable... Anybody running over 65+ in a Bass Boat is moving good in my book! Yes, get that windshield for sure... Congrats Hank!
Hank, you know I am so thrilled for you to have your dream boat, and to see your success over the past 7 years ( hard to believe). I still remember when you had 900 followers 😮 😂🎉🎉🎉 I wish I could be your Co-angler on Cumberland , but let me know if you fish Kerr/ Buggs Island in the BFL here in North Carolina. Congratulations 🥳🍀🍀🎣🍀🍀💯 now organize your tackle and rod locker👏👏👏👏👏😎👍🕺🏻🎉🕺🏻🍀🎣🍀
Man that BassGeek green looks great on that boat! It is SHARP!!! Now you gotta come to Cumberland and take me out 😆. Layout looks great too. Super happy for ya brother, you've needed an upgrade for years and you work like a madman us work so much on this channel so brother you deserve it!
You got yourself a beautiful boat. I was over that way about a month ago and looked to see if you had it yet. I’m happy for you and I hope it serves you well for many many years. Almost makes me want one….almost 😉. I can’t lie, I want one bad lol.
Good job hank👍 I have a caymas dealer in my town! Although I will probably go with the CX18SS as i mostly fish by myself and I also go up the river, which isn't recommended in a big boat. It's just that I know the river like the back of my hand and have be doing it since I was little fella😂
Very happy to see your new boat! Absolutely amazing! I can see many years of fishing days on the water for you. Hopefully you will never have to use the ladder. Congratulations! #100percentwatchsquad
What a beautiful boat I thought Skeeter was the top of the line. Love the color, hope you don't get it wrapped. After seeing the factory tour , wow. Just waiting to see more. God bless you and your channel.🎉
Man im soooo freaking happy for you dude. Congrats on the new rig. I've seriously been considering a caymas especially since I'm only 30 minutes from the plant. LFG!!!! #100percentwatchsquad
Congratulations on the boat, it's awesome. The more I see of the Caymas boats, the more I like them. As a Yamaha guy though, I'm genuinely curious why you went with the Merc over a Yamaha?
Congrats Hank! Beautiful looking boat! Wife picked out a great name for it also. Looking forward to many ears of great content from it also. Thanks for sharing! How does it pull with your truck?
Awesome lookin boat Hank. I'm glad you finally got it and im sure you'll love it. I wound have went with "Green Hornet" though. Lol You need to do a video of performance too in the near future. Again Awesome boat brother 👍 #100percentwatchsquad
Yes it’s common and the update was suppose to address that issue. I’ve email Garmin and haven’t heard back yet. There’s videos on TH-cam about it and forums
Thats a sick rig dude. One day I will get one, but I was just as happy when I picked up my 2021 Tracker Pro Team 195TXW Tournament Edition. still get the jitters when I look out the window and see it in the driveway
We got to choose the color so your wife should get to choose the name. After watching the Caymas factory tour video, and the 'tour' of your boat video, I will be looking at Caymas first when it's my time to buy a boat. Hopefully that's no later than next year. Great rig Hank. Congrats man. Well deserved. You've come a long way. I remember watching videos from the dungeon. #100percentwatchsquad You rock! 🤘😎🎣

Nice man i remember you telling me and my grandpa about this at redcrest glad up you got it!
Man I'm so happy. Couldn't do it without your support.
Good looking Boat
I really like the colors
I like how the Garmin trolling motors will position their selves when you go to raise it
Yes that’s cool!
Congratulations on the boat, it's awesome. The more I see of the Caymas boats, the more I like them. As a Yamaha guy though, I'm genuinely curious why you went with the Merc over a Yamaha?
I'm just a Merc guy. Little more speed than the Yamaha also.
Congratulations brother, enjoy. Weather ever gets nice in Pa I’ll enjoy my new xpress H-17 with all the Garmin units
Heck yeah I hope it gets nice soon
Suuuweeeettt boat Hank! Love the color combo and wish you good luck in it
Thank you! you geeks made it happen.

Congratulations man ! It’s bad ass 🎉
You guys did this on me. Thank you.
Nice ride buddy. May I ask as far as price point. How does it compare against nitro, skeeters, & champion?
Nitro is about the cheapest out there for good reason in my opinion but right with the skeeters
Congratulations! That's a sweet ride!
Thanks you geeks made it possible
Duffield, Spears Ferry, Wadalo Gap...now their famous!! 😂😂😂 Awesome new boat brother. Congratulations!! You've earned it!!

Thank you. It helps to have a bunch of great people like you supporting me.
Nice man, love it. We still gotta get out together sometime on big Lake P.
We will man Just holler.
Such a nice boat, congrats. Any specific reason for 8ft poles? I'm in Florida so 8's are perfect but I use 10's in my salt water boat.
Most the places I’m gonna use poles will be super shallow the trolling motor will hold me other wise
Nice rig brother, you are gonna love it
Thank you and you are so right I do already. Thank you so much.
Beautiful boat! Does your Garmin anchor lock go backwards like 10ft and than forward when using the anchor lock?
Not so far if just stays in the same place. Is that a common problem?
Yes it’s common and the update was suppose to address that issue. I’ve email Garmin and haven’t heard back yet. There’s videos on TH-cam about it and forums
Congratulations Hank. Great looking rig
Thanks couldn’t have done it without you
Awesome looking boat. Congratulations
Man you guys supporting me mad it happen
Beautiful boat man, congrats.
Thank you very much and I couldn't have done it with out your support.
awesome looking boat. love the green accents.
Yeah me too thanks very much
Awsum Hank. Will we be seeing BASS GEEK and the BASS GEEK LOGO like your shirts and caps on the side of it in the near future?
No I’m not gonna wrap it. I put a couple stickers on it but that’s about it
Heck of a ride. Well earned 🤙🏽🎣
Thank you and I only have it because you guys do so much for me.

Thats a sick rig dude. One day I will get one, but I was just as happy when I picked up my 2021 Tracker Pro Team 195TXW Tournament Edition. still get the jitters when I look out the window and see it in the driveway
Hey man a good boat is a good boat and that’s a good boat man
@BassGeek thanks dude. Dropping it off tomorrow at Cabelas to get the Bow unit upgraded to a Garmin Striker Vivid 9SV
I’ve had my 195 for 4 years. They’re hard to beat in the aluminum class of bass boats. Faster and rides better than than ranger crestliner lowe and g3
Congrats my guy. So happy for you
Thanks brother
We gotta get together sometime. You haven't even seen the new house
Awesome boat ...Congratulations enjoy
Thank you and you guys made it come true
Beautiful boat Hank! Enjoy!
Thank you and man you guys are the reason it happened.
Nice setup. Sweet looking rig
Thank you for supporting that’s what made it happen
We got to choose the color so your wife should get to choose the name. After watching the Caymas factory tour video, and the 'tour' of your boat video, I will be looking at Caymas first when it's my time to buy a boat. Hopefully that's no later than next year. Great rig Hank. Congrats man. Well deserved. You've come a long way. I remember watching videos from the dungeon. #100percentwatchsquad You rock! 🤘😎🎣
Yeah man Life has really been good to me and most of that has to do with you all! So thank you so much.
