 Hey guys, welcome back. It's Titus with Mid Valley Mercenaries, and I'm out here today at the lake to give the new Gator Tell a spin We got the extreme series with the 40 horse. It's the 1754. We're really excited to show this to you we've driven it a couple times and Really enjoyed ourselves, but today we're gonna try to get some really good footage for you guys before we get started I just want to say a big thank you to the Gator Tell team appreciate them for helping us out by this boat We want to say thank you to Kyle Brassard, Jared Serenade, and also Bubba Me and Thomas made the gauntlet if you watch us on Instagram or Facebook all the way from California to Louisiana and it was gnarly Went through multiple states obviously if you look at the map and see what we went through and drove day and night Didn't go in much sleep 30 hour drive we got there went through some pretty bad weather some rain on the way in but we had a blast and made Good memories. I don't think we want to do it again though showed up at the Gator Tell factory and Met those guys there. It was really a quick deal. We really didn't get to spend much time there at the factory But down there in Louisiana picked up our boat hooked up and hit the road again and came back to California So without further ado, Thomas is gonna do the walkthrough for you and then we're gonna get out on the water What's up guys? This is Thomas with mid valley mercenaries and like Titus said we were so excited that we got a Duck boat this year. We've talked about it for several years You know us and our friends that we run with and we finally made the plunge and got This beast of a boat. We've already took it out several times We're chomping at the bit to get hunting out of it So we're gonna give you guys a walk through today of the boat like Titus mentioned already. This is a Gator Tell extreme series It's a 1754 so 17 feet long 54 inches wide and I'm just gonna start at the front of the boat and kind of take our time a little bit walk through Everything they got on the boat and some options that we picked. Let's get started So first off guys, we decided to do the natural gear camo paint on our boat That's optional, but we just like the the breakup of it So we decided to get that as an add-on second of all guys We put the camo hydro turf on the floor of the boat helps out a lot with noise and it looks really cool Too so he decided to put that on we've got two led rigid lights up front ready turn these things on at night And they just they're insane. It's like daylight. So they're protected by this nice little Bolt-on cover here the front deck here is four feet come standard with a little storage box in the middle put this open and Although it's not completely dry storage It is a good spot to put things you don't want to be stepping on and keep it out of the way Also standard to come with this plate welded for a seat if you want to do some fishing out of it We haven't got any of that. We haven't really had any fishing plans for the boat yet It's just nice to have if later on we want to add a seat. We have a trolling motor bracket here It's not drilled out for electrical yet, but at some point we're gonna put that on there We added the the bow rails in the front This is not standard, but it's a pretty reasonable price to add on and it gives you something to tie the front of your boat Off to something to grab while you're walking around the boat, and it's it's really nice. So we added this on All right guys, so this boat you get a 13 gallon tank it's all rigged up already and Tucked under the front here They got your hose running underneath the floor. It's a pretty good size tank. We've been running this thing for I think four hours now, and it's not I mean it Hasn't even hardly put it in in it the sides are 24 inches and Running along the whole entire boat you get the t-rail gunnel system Which allows you to put duck blinds or attachments and it can slide along the whole length of the boat The handle is in this t-rail gunnel and you can adjust it up or down or take it out If you'd like another thing we added on is the rear deck gun box It's nice as a seat But also doubles the storage for your guns or any other items you want to keep dry This is a hundred percent dry storage And it flips up It's a nice place to keep your guns, you know, they're gonna be dry and off the floor where nobody's stepping on them It's also lockable guys, which is nice if you're traveling We throw a lock on there and if something in here is valuable You don't want getting stolen you can throw a lock on that on the side of the gun box We have our disconnect switch for the battery Which is nice that way you're not draining your battery all the time when you're not using it You just got to remember to turn it off when you get off the water guys Also have some more storage underneath the rear seat here There's plenty of room in the deck of the boat, but it is nice to have some things Tucked out of the way We're not stepping on them Everything's wired in already guys Overall, it's really clean. It's not a ton of wires running everywhere. We have a control that's wired in To the back here, and it's actually Bluetooth Which is pretty handy you have several options on this system You power it on first and you have your your navigational lights Your front lights your bilge pump, and then there's also also four accessories Where you could wire things in like chargers For your devices and things of that nature So here's our rear nav light It is pretty nice where you can fold this down and out of the way guys if you're going through some low Low stuff. It's pretty much breakproof. You can hit it It's not gonna break or Anything like that and if you want it out of the way you can fold it down and you don't even notice that it's there and now Get into the meat and potatoes of the whole operation We got a 40 horse as Titus mentioned already. It's a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Fuel injected this thing runs Amazing it's so smooth Got plenty of power So me and Titus had our phones out with a speedometer and we were going with me and him Just us no gear or anything like that. We're going 30 miles an hour which is Great, I mean that's so that's plenty fast for what we're doing I'll just walk start you at the front you guys the handle You can flip up and down if you want to keep it out of the way or you need to get into the rear box here Starting at the front. You got your tilt functions here Up and down You got your gas here, and then you got your forward neutral and reverse. We do have reverse on this Got your kill switch here And your keys here It also has a tachometer and hour meter on the motor, which is really nice. We're at 2.9 hours right now and When you got the engine running you can see what your RPM is We've got the drop deck transom on this too That's gonna make it real nice to get in and out of the boat and it'll be nice for Rocky to getting in and out There might be times where he could hunt out of here or he could hunt in the front also But it's nice for him to get in and out of the boat So it should be faster retrieval system For him getting birds and getting back in the boat so we could stay hunting another thing That's nice is this kind of provides a break for when you're reversing the water doesn't come up and over the back of the boat and Also when you let off the fuel, you know the tendencies for water to come rushing in and it kind of provides a little break So you're not getting actual watering about built into the drop deck We got access for the plug in the back of the boat Lastly, we got our trailer guys to 18 foot adjustable galvanized trailer. That's made by McLean and I'm sick of talking about it I want to go get this thing out in the water get some cool shots drive it around and have some fun So let's go
