 You can see all the little divots, the little the little dimples from the sand in the ground. You can see just every little stump and little tree. Welcome back to the channel everybody and welcome back to the boat terror of this mythical beast behind me, the Skeeter FX 21. So if you watched the last video you saw me picking up the boat from Fun and Sun. A lot of you came out there. Thank you very much and basically I just kind of showed you a brief overview of the boat and now that I've had a chance to play around with it and there's a lot of bells and whistles on this thing I'm going to take you guys through each one and we can dive in deep. First thing that's an upgrade from my last boat is the trailer itself. My last trailer was uh it's like a armor coated aluminum trailer but this one is um it's not fiberglass. I don't know if it's plastic that sounds bad to say but it is the same color that matches uh one of the main colors on the boat which is this um I forget what it's called it says like a very deep blue black it actually has green fleck in it as well. The trailer's probably the most uninteresting part of this but I have to mention it I mean it's it's an upgrade from the last boat. So the main difference between the ZX series which my last boat was which is like your tournament ready starter boat I wouldn't even call it a starter boat I mean it's a tournament ready boat and the FX series which is it's like an elite style boat it's it's more performance in the FX there's better weight distribution the whole design is a little different just to give you more agility and speed and then comforts accoutrements basically just better built on the inside better better layout and just some more bells and whistles so let's get into the whistles. The seats mega cushioning my my other seats are pretty good these are a little bit more I would say wide but certified not that I have a super wide boat or anything but you could sit super comfortably in here even if you're a big boy and then you get more color options in the seats so I picked out all the colors on this boat you know I'd say and this is black this is white this is gray this is like a silvery thing all that was was picked out and it almost kind of looks like a like a tuxedo a little bit it's classy but then dangerous James Bondish baby oh silver bullet I like you another thing that's different is the cooler there's no seat to take off here it's just built in and that pops up and then you have a cooler up under there and then there's uh there's drink holders right there so you can get your hydration on while you're doing your dangle something I did on my last boat that I loved having a routine I was I put a bucket up under the cover so the rain would kind of go over that the rain wouldn't collect on the boat cover itself since this isn't a dual console it's a single console and I would use the bucket as a trash mechanism when I came off the water it worked out great let's sit there and redo tackle I'd throw the the trash in the bucket and then I'd dump the bucket and then I'd use that up under the cover it was a great little system I lost the bucket sadly I don't know where it went but this has a trash can built in this should be on every boat you put it in there and then you can take that bucket out this guy out and you can just dump it it's easy super easy this is pretty much the same where you got your pliers and scissors and cutters and all that stuff and same thing with the passenger side over here but if you look up under here we do have some bump action so this this is the bluetooth speakers they they are connected to a bluetooth system over here I'll show that to you here in just a second but yeah you just get your tunes on bump your tunes got your hot foot as usual can't live without it and then your console is just way different the console is it's digital over here so you have a digital panel you can turn this on and then basically all of your power is separated into little little circuitries right here and one of my favorite things about this boat because you guys have seen this happen on videos a lot you turn that and your plug goes in so literally you could be at the ramp you're excited to go get your dangle on then you back the boat in the water like oh crap it feels heavy the bilge bumps are on I forgot to put the plug in you just go over there and you and it's all good closes up bilge the water out and you don't have to sit over there on the bank reach up under there like you've seen on this channel and I'm sure many of the other Guggen channels where we forget to put the plug in don't have to worry about that with this boat it's amazing one of the things I do like is they put a little a little toter right there for your stuff you know I'm always trying to figure out where should I put these little red red things because should I put them in the boat should I put them in the truck sometimes they get lost so you've got your your motor toter and your little clippies to keep your motor from getting out of control and you just put them right there they're there at the end of the day right where you need them now the rest of the stuff like the graphs and the boxes and the trolling motor I'm going to show you guys that on the water here we have upgrades on these power poles these are blades I guess they cut through the water faster they look cooler I mean they essentially function just like my my last one so actually this one isn't even going down right now but I do have a ladder right here if I just want to really get crazy get out there in the water I got myself a ladder you know this these later stages in life where I'm not sure I can get up in the boat this might come in handy some other frothiness we have back here is the Yamaha 250 4 stroke this is a bigger motor than what was on my last boat I had a 225 and on previous boats I've had 250s it's nice to have a little extra power but you know what I kind of like the 225 it was it was good the only thing that I did not like about the last boat was the balance issue like the I would kind of get a dolphin effect the boat like to really run fast so I'm hoping that this one is going to have a little bit better weight distribution and I can cruise at slower speeds I just like cruise man just like the cruise while I'm trying to catch fish so one of the other things is different is a hydraulic jack plate I've never had one of these they come in handy when you're fishing shallow water or you just want more boat control motor control where you can really dial in your exact angle of your propeller in the water with your tilt and then you can use the hydraulic jack plate to to increase the power even more and maybe even get you up on pad a little quicker by jacking the plate down when you're when you're getting up and doing a little twirl trying to get up down the lake they do it down in Florida quite often everybody has jack plates down there because fish and shallow water so much but never had it I'm going to enjoy getting to learn the aspects of that and and how to make it better maybe hit less stumps that's always good I've hit a few stumps in my life okay this boat has just got power and bells and whistles for days let's get it in the water though let's crescent and then I want to get into these graphs so one of my main goals for today is to learn this this I'm going back to hummingbird units and I was with the lorantz I had a lorantz with lorantz it's not like hey we were dating I just had a lorantz and I got used to it and now I've got these and I got to get used to those again and there's so many upgrades and anyway it's gonna be fun to learn all this together but there's a lot of knobs a lot of buttons and you know we gotta find them fish on that thing well it would appear as if our maiden voyage is going to be a nasty one y'all I'm not surprised but you know what this thing's gonna be hardened in the fires wait I guess that would be like waters like hurricane waters it's not gonna be some nice like just you know the crisp perfect day and all the fish are jumping in the boat no we're gonna start this baby off on the hard train on the hard knocks that way when it's time to make it count she's gonna perform silver bullets gonna be trained for day one that's my pep talk for the silver bullet all right y'all I have already unhooked the motor this is different than uh than my last boat because you know I can just kind of leave the motor down and with the hydraulic jack plate that baby just comes right up so it's it's not close to the the ground we're just gonna touch especially when you're at boat ramps or you just want to beat your boat like I'm about to do be a choppy one I definitely want to get that other power pole working but they are they're much faster than my other ones so with having that jack plate I can really I don't have to play with my trim as much it's really nice something that's different about this boat I have to turn on the fuel gauge and then I actually have a digital readout an exactitude of how much fuel I have so I just turn that on and then there's the analog as well you also get exact readouts of your jack plate and your trim over here and this is what I'm gonna have to conquer today well not conquer but at least start getting a hang up it's always different when you get in a new boat and all the graphs are different and you gotta kind of relearn so I gotta learn what fish look like exactly here and supposedly with this unit this is the solix you're actually able to see fish and their shadows so I want to be able to dial in where I know they're bass one of the reasons I wanted to come out to this lake in particular is just because I've spent a lot of time looking at a graph out here so I know what things are supposed to look like and then I can kind of gauge from there where I need to make adjustments on the electronics I can already tell you this is gonna be a huge learning curve on this thing but it is crisp it is gigantic and one of the nice things is you know you don't have to have two screens I would I would never need two screens anyways but with this guy there's so many views to choose from you can have four four different readouts on the same screen a lot of information coming into your eyeballs this baby zips it's got pop to it oh my gosh you can really really feel it oh man it's super nice having that hydraulic jack plate I'm so impressed with that thing I've never had one I can't believe it um that just allows you to have a smoother ride and if you want to keep the you know the nose of the bow down more you just have a lot more control especially in these waves and I'm just going over white caps white caps going 38 and I'm just taking it easy taking it easy this this boat just has a lot of power baby oh I love it okay I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get in on these electronics and see what I'm looking at here really dial it dial it in and make the adjustments as I'm recording so you guys can see if anything interesting pops up starting to get my color palettes and just my preferences dialed in here it's the mega imaging is incredible this top screen here the mega imaging on the side it's it's impressive I gotta say you can see all the little divots the little uh the little dimples from the sand in the ground you can see just every little stump and little tree it's crazy I really have to take some time and get used to this this is going to be just tremendously helpful this year I changed this to my old the rants color palette just because I was used to that and this one I turned the frequency down to the 455 just because it has a little bit smoother look it's like a little tree clump right there see that's crazy you see it right there but you don't even see it on the 2d amazing well we got r2 doing its thing up there incredible technology y'all absolutely incredible I want to show you guys the uh the inside digs of the vessel and how I've got the boat set up right now so the old skater had a couple of lids right here that opened up side to side and it was a little awkward to be honest I like this bigger just big coffin box style where everything just goes in there so if we open up the lid the big lid you can see that all the tackle trays organized in here I'm still getting it together but mostly mostly all this is hard bait so tons of crank baits I've got my terminal tackle you know weights hooks things like that it even has a net in case you're getting a mondo on the line you need help I usually just like to get them with my hands because it's more fun but um there's rod storage inside of here can hold six rods I think I'm gonna end up just putting spinning rods inside of this compartment because I don't have that many of them and there's uh there's more space down here so that the reels to start hitting the ground there and then of course you guys know I got I got gook and baits all up in there I've got just some of my my key favorite colors right there and I'll probably end up organizing them not in trays like this but probably little boxes or our bags and just leaving them in here because it's just quick access and I know what I'm looking at so I love how clean that is super clean these can come right out and then go go back in there so just key elements now for other specialty items I've got a lot of storage going on in this boat so to the right lid box lift that up and then you can actually throw rods in here as well but I'm not going to do that this is going to be just specialty stuff where I've got you know some of my my favorite jigs that I like I've got some swim baits in here you know just just key stuff there is a day box there's only one day box I'm missing one my other boat had another one right over here but there's definitely plenty of room to make up for that so this is this is where I'm just going to keep like go to jigs spinner baits chatter baits things like that and also I keep line usually so I've got just some 12 pound and some 18 pound in there right now but I'll probably deck that out with some other line and then we have the rod arsenal box this is what everybody gets excited about right here but honestly it's it's kind of skimpy at the moment I'm in the I'm in the middle of getting some some new rods some new favorite rods and stuff so getting new reels and things like that so I've kind of got a bare bones but I've got mostly just my I've got my signature series rods in here I've got a few extras of those a bunch of the big sexies obviously that's that's my favorite favorite line of rods that favorite makes currently something I think that is incredibly smart that should have been done a long time ago because if you look inside of the box there there's no carpet at the bottom there's no carpet in there they just have the fiberglass and they have some rubber stops so your hooks aren't getting they're not getting tangled up I mean you get in there you get all excited and then you went on a boat right and you crank bait is that just stuck to the bottom of the carpet and you're trying to get it out and you're fiddling with it and then you're messing with the pliers and you've been in the hooks and then they break you're like Ted come this is not how I imagined my dangle when I was dreaming last night so you don't have to worry about that at all you can't even rinse that out like saltwater boats got drain plugs in there and another nice thing about all these scooters they have dry docks which means they have pumps they have pumps that the fans that go into these boxes and they they dry it out and turn them on you hit the switch right here wow bam you got air flowing and then there's an oxygenator button as well for the live wall up here I'm liking this mounting system this bracket the only thing is it's blocking my cup holder man can't put my brusky or my water up there when when I got this thing going on but it does seem to be pretty beneficial as far as like standing up and then looking looking down at that angle is perfect and then your foot is totally clear I like that it's even higher off the deck so you get a better picture and that my friends and fishing freaks is the innards of the silver bullet I think I'm going to try to keep it this simple I usually say that and I end up just throwing tons of baits in here but streamlining I think I think that's important I got a bigger boat I got enough room to put some camera gear in here and just uh and just be able to to keep it all the same not take much stuff out and just go out and give it a dangle as much as I can and film as many of these videos as I can this obviously gets me jacked up to go to go fishing and to go figure fish out with these new electronics and uh bring that all that stuff that I learned to you guys so I'm going to try to give it a dangle here maybe try some cranking to catch some fish that's not really my goal for today but uh now that I'm out here I got to mega imaging crazy very defined very defined just been impressed with that the rocks that's pretty neat I mean the definition in there is awesome so not catching any fish but I am getting to really explore the lake in a new way with this solar so the mega imaging wow wow the crazy thing is like you really don't even want to stop and fish until you're seeing fish where I guess that's a good thing you know before I would go like oh man that's really good structure I can see it's it's pretty good but now you can see the the structure you can see the cover and then you can see the fish inside of it and they show up as like little little white deals I'm still playing around with that zooming in and stuff like that but uh wow I would say it's game changer of a unit crazy can't wait to use this mega imaging to find crappie piles white bass of course brush piles and bass find bedding areas and all sorts of stuff there's just this great opportunity here I love it I think this is a good place to take it in y'all I think uh I think I'm gonna take it in I'm gonna pop the drone up and just get a little aerial shot of of heading in it's windy um and the fishing is is going to be terrible there's a fish hot deep but stuff but water's just murky it's not good um but I'm gonna take the opportunity to learn the lake a little bit and break in the motor there's a there's a break in period you actually have to do with the motor so many hours at certain speeds and whatnot the silver bullet what's gonna be your pb this year we gotta we're gonna bust another eight oh eight nine hopefully a double dig y'all I want to hit texas hard in march and try to get a double digit all right one last cruise we're taking it in I'm about to go put her in her home for the night cover her up r2 it's got it under control here and I think this is where I'm gonna leave you guys I cannot wait to do videos this year out of this boat and take you guys along with me uh I want to thank funnets on and scooter boats again for uh hooking me up with this vessel this is this is outstanding we just gotta put a couple of finishing touches on her to spruce her give her some extra flavor but other than that it's all good y'all already know what to do if you want to stay tuned for all the fishing adventures to come out of the new silver bullet subscribe right here and hit the notification so you don't miss a single bite thanks for being here fishing freaks I love every single one of you and I'll see you next time
