Omg as a female new bass owner - I LOVE THIS SERIES!! this will help so many new boat owners ❤
First off… I’m a Big fan of your Channel, you Truly are an inspiration 💯!
I myself own a Ranger and it’s been a great Boat!
I’m not trying to be mean or anything like that but… TJ should have not touched the boat during this launch but instead been coaching you through it start to finish. I say this because if you are launching by yourself it’s important to go hands on everything right from the get go. Start a routine and repeat it every time you launch, it will eliminate errors and keep you safe. Also, pay attention to how far your trailer needs to go in the water to launch and load your boat and keep in mind all launches can have different inclines so finding the sweet spot for your trailer will make loading easier. I’ve made my mistakes with one very expensive one🫣
Just trying to help
Best of luck to you! Hoping to meet you one day until then stay safe and Fish on!!👏🏻💪🏻
When I arrive at a ramp I have a procedure for prepping the boat to launch. I do it in the same order every time. Same goes for loading at the end of the day. I don’t let my friends help in any way, that will lead to errors like drain-plugs in live well drains…not the boat drain. Time to start taking the boat as much as you can. You’re gonna have to adjust all of your casting and fishing techniques. You’re gonna love a boat, you can bring all the crap you want lol.
Beautiful rig Kristine. Long time viewer of your channel, now a subscriber. I wish the best of luck on your new endeavor. DRAIN PLUG !!, DRAIN PLUG !!, DRAIN PLUG !!. The rest will come in time. Don't let anyone distract you when your loading and unloading and going through "your" checklist.
Kristine, I'm about to explode with excitement for you! That's a beautiful boat and I'm so happy to see you entering this phase of bass fishing tournaments! You go girl!
Thank you so much!!!
I just bought the Ranger aluminum RT188 and love it! Don’t let people rush you at the ramp! Take your time. Launching can be stressful but only if you let it be. Congrats!
Thank you, that’s refreshing to hear!
This is so exciting!!! Congratulations! I love that you are doing this so others can learn! Can’t wait to follow along on this new journey in your life ❤
I LOVE being on the water! Best thing I ever did when I started boating on my own was take a coast guard boating certification class. Learned a lot! Along with trial and era. So excited for you and can't wait to continue watching your journey!
Kristine, #1 thing you need to get is Bering Budies. They mount into your Axles on the outside. What they do is Automatically Grease your bearings on your trailer. Also get a lock for your spare or it will grow legs. Go kick some boys ass . God Bless
Ranger trailers have a different system no need for them. I think it's 5 years or 10 years. But they are maintenance-free.
GREAT tips thank you Thomas!!!
They have vault hybrid grease . It’s pressurized and relubes itself Everytime they get hot
@y2000air thanks for that do you remember how long they are good for? Is it years or miles? I was thinking 10 years or 50k miles but I was having issues googleing the answer.
Bearing buddies are good, but they don't always push the grease thru to the inner bearings very well. Also alot of people over grease bearing buddies and blow out the inner seal which lets water inside leading to rust and catastrophic failure. Best to pull the bearings out once per year, clean or blow all the old grease out, inspect the rollers for rust or damage within the individual rollers in the bearing, and then manually re pack them before putting them back on. Can't tell you how many times I've had inner seals go bad, or found rust or damaged rollers. Good luck, be safe, kick some butt this season.
Beautiful boat Kristine , may I suggest putting the cover in the cab of the truck, It wont walk away & if it rains its easier to put back on .
That’s a good call- will do!
Can't wait till October!. It'll be enjoy watching you fish.
I’ll fish a few smaller tourneys before then that I’ll take you guys along for!
Beautiful boat Kristine! How exciting!
Thanks so much! I’ll do a full walk through soon!
One of the biggest things I learned at the boat ramp is to only worry about your own problems, don't hurry up for anyone else.
You'll get good quick with the early morning chaos.
"Tactical Experience" is the BEST Teacher! (A check list is good, too...).
SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
You will do well in your new boat fishing adventure Kristine. I know you will! Really nice boat. God bless. Keep the faith.
Thank you!
Love it! Keep up the tutorials, young lady!
Hello Christine. I got to see you in person at Possum Kingdom. I was so excited. April 14 th. I watch you on my free time. I'm sorry I'm all over the place. But, you are an exceptional fisherman. I live seeing you get excited when you catch a fish. Especially when you call your grandpa and hear the love for one another. You are truly blessed. God bless ❤️
Hey hey!! Ah thank so much! My pa is my world
It’s your preference on the seat don’t let anyone tell you it needs to come out ! If your knees are jacked up like mine, I have to have a seat.
Me too . most of the times I just lean on it.
Good luck on your new goals. Just happen to find your channel and subscribed look forward to following your success. Alabama here
Great video and great boat. "You gotta" get a "ratchet-type" boat cover. They are super expensive, but you'll get away from all those straps flying around and possibly flapping against your boat. The ratchet-type covers are super snug and make your boat profile very streamline. They fold and roll away easily as well. Look up Dowco Marine.
Ooops never mind. I you don't like that G's cover is tight, you may not want the ratchet type. They are super snug.
Oh I didn’t even know those existed! Y’all are awesome thank you!
How to do it all solo:
You unclip the biggun up front, and unchain that, then you unstrap those two in the back, then the transom saver, install or check for plug, then the bunkies, turn the power on, turn on the master power, mount graphs, load my snacks, siggys, and wizzle, drop her down and climb the nose, park at the dock, run back to the truck and park the truck, tinkle or whatnot, and then you are off.
I bought my first bass boat back in 2017. I've always dreamed to have one, so I finally pulled the trigger for my 42nd birthday. Nothing flashy, just a 17ft aluminum Crestliner VT17. I love it! LOVE LOVE! ... The most intimidating part for me, still today, is solo unloading and solo loading. Get a routine so you follow the same steps time after time after time so you won't forget something. Always prep your boat away from the ramp. Here is my routine... Load your gear, get your buoys ready, get your PFD's ready, get your ropes ready, walk to the back, and verify the plug is in (also recommend having a spare on hand), release the back straps, and relieve the motor toter (supporter). Then I put the key in and turn the engine to "on", not cranking. I just want to hear the tone. The tone can tell you if you have a problem or not. Then turn the key back off. I pop open the gas and battery compartment and look for gas leaks in the hull. You may smell gas, but that's normal. Good to pop this open and let those fumes out if you do. I leave my front straps connected for now. I get my wheel chocks ready and easily to get to from the driver side of my truck. Harbor Freight has a great rubber one I recommend. Get one and a nice 3ft section of 3/4"-1" diameter rope tied to it. Makes it easy to lug around. Now, I'm finally ready to go to the ramp, and piss myself if it's a crowded one lol. Someone once gave me a great tip for backing down... Don't use reverse. Instead, put the truck in neutral and let the weight of the boat and trailer pull you down. If you put it in reverse, there's a chance you can panic and gas it. Instead, just have it in neutral and let it pull you down while you have your foot on the break. Once my rear wheels touch the water, I apply the e-break (while in neutral), then I put it in park. The parking break can hop out of gear, so don't trust it. I get out, tie my rope from my boat to the trailer (50ft rope) and I unhook the safety and winch strap. Now, back in the truck, I release the ebreak, back into neutral, and continue to back into the water just enough for the boat to rise and start to drift off. Once the boat is drifting, I start pulling up the ramp slightly. The rope will tighten and hold the boat from drifting away. I hold the break, apply the e-break, then put it in park and now get out of the truck, put my wheel chock under my rear wheel, disconnect the rope, jump in and dock the boat. Then I wipe the sweat off my for head and say a prayer "thank you God for helping me through this again. Please don't let anyone steal my truck. Please don't let my truck pop off gear and drift into the water". This is in my head as I hurry back to the truck to get it out of the way and parked. Have fun K!! I'm so excited to follow you on your new chapter! Go enjoy yourself and your new toys.
Something else I learned the frustrating way. If you try to start it, and it won't crank, odds are it's your safety switch. A duh moment we've all had once or twice. But there is another thing that ruined a trip for me. If it won't start, move the gear shifter to forward, to reverse, and then back to neutral. Now try starting it again. If it's in either gear, there's a safety thing that won't let it start. This happened to me once. Wasted an hour trying to get it started, checking fuses, gas lines, everything and finally gave up and ended up just running the trolling motor around the marina and nearby areas. When I got home, and started researching it online, I was tipped off to this gear issue, and sure as the day is long, it fixed my failure to start.
This is my other channel I use just for fishing stuff, but I keep forgetting to use. My profile pic has my beauty in it, with my Pop. 88 and still catching the biggins!
Congrats on your new ranger boat
thats really dope rig there, super uber nice. i been wanting a bass boat sooooo bad and keep the kayak on the side but i asked the wife if i could get a bass cat puma(2023) and that was met with a loud laugh and quick no, but im definitely gonna get me something in the 10-15kish range maybe by the end of the season.(not good at waiting) im already saving ,she is for sure on board with that im also looking for a life vest for the doggo that has her all in when the dog is involved 😊😊
Hey I hear you it’s such a big investment!! Many of my friends traded the yaks for the boat when they had kids. If you make it a family thing with her and the dog, it’s definitely justifiable ;)
Gratz on the beautiful boat!.
Never heard of leaving the cover on while trailering. Eventually it will rip.
Did you attach the kill switch?
I sit on a throw cushion to help see better under power.
You will want (required by BASS?) a better life jacket that has a collar to keep you face up if thrown and unconscious.
I'm excited for you. It's not exactly a whole new area for you. The level that you need to pay attention to and operate in is vastly different.
Much like driving a vehicle, driving a boat is done from a defensive position. The decision process is much easier because you're more aware of what's going on around you.
I can see you having so much fun with your boat. You will get to see the same water and shore line from a whole fresh perspective.
You've got this girl! Rock on.
That is a super nice boat Kristine. So glad to see you reaching to higher milestones. By the way that was a Texas mustache on him 😂
I'd definitely get motor mounts. That thin aluminum transom savor absolutely will not last, want to have the motor secured traveling around like you are about to.
I learned to back a bass boat for my dad before I had my drivers license. Yep it's way easier than a little kayak trailer. That short little kayak trailer likes to disappear and end up where it shouldn't. You'll be comfortable in that boat really fast.
So true- backing a trailer is a cake walk for me ! Trolling motor? Not so much
Beautiful boat.
I watched James Neggamyer’s walk through of his Ranger 208Alpha(I think that’s the model) and I know you’re gonna love your own boat and fishing the Opens, and I can’t wait to see you advancing your career 🙏💯🍀🎣🍀
Thank you so much! James is an amazing dude!
Be waiting for performance and how you like it. I use to fish Granbury a lot.
We went to Chickamauga and it snowed on the way there. Everyone else had an inch of ice on the deck. 98% of the time no cover. If it’s raining or any precipitation put on the cover otherwise it doesn’t exist.
Nice boat Kristine and hopefully it works well for you on the tournamnet trail, Hope to see you compete in the Bassmasters classic in a couple of years. The fish will always be the same, the platform your used to just got turbo powered! 😀
I hope so!!
If that’s an aluminum hull go easy on the speed running chop. I know someone in Michigan who broke the welds on an aluminum hull Ranger running in Lake St. Clair.
Needed this!!!
Very nice Ranger!
Sick Perfect Game hat!
Outstanding
Good luck on your tournament adventure
Thanks so much !
Congrats...hope you still come back to the susquehanna in pa to pay us a visit!
I’ll see y’all in July!
Can't wait until more videos and to hear what you like or dislike about the boat. We are on the verge or ordering one.
So far this boat is INCREDIBLE. I’ll have a full walk through soon, with my review
I’ve been looking at this boat handle in that rough water
I attended a boat show 2 weekends ago and came close to pulling the trigger on a brand new boat. What held me back? I remember the PTSD I get at the boat ramps here in the Tampa area on sunny weather days. That and I can't back up a trailer to save my life.
I hear you- but don’t let that hold you back! I would go to a small lake that got little pressure and practice for a few evenings backing my kayak trailer. Came quick!
Explain why the different fishfinder brands. The plus and minus of each brand. Thanks
Happy 4 You!💯🤘🇺🇲🤙
Thanks so much Nick!
Great boat!! Leave nothing unsecured in the back of truck.
Ooohh good point!!!
Great video
Thanks!
This is funny. I’m going from Boat to Kayak in you are going from Kayak boat.
Which model boat is this? Also, your content makes me want to get a boat like yours. I have a Jon boat now and it’ll catch fish, but your boat is way sweeter. 🙏🏼
Good luck
👍✌️ young lady myself along with I'm sure what's going to be plenty of others. Wish you the best of luck be cheering you..✌️👍
Funny I went from Bass Boat to Kayak !!!!
Hat Strap! Check
😂😂
Not to say this guy doesn’t know how to do a cover but myself and everyone else I know starts at the back roll your cover in from both sides as you go forward and once you get to the front it should only be about a 3x3 cube then when putting it back on slip the front over your graphs and trolling motor prop and roll it back. Easy pleasy 👍
Dont talk to anyone at ramp until you first thing put the plug in!
How long til I forget? You guys need to start a bet 😂
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
👍
Get em Kristine,
🫡🙌
Congratulations Babygirl
Thank you!

Love the channel. My only advise is to develop a system and don't deviate from it. Don't talk or get distracted. If you do get distracted start over. Good luck out there.
Trim your motor down once it’s off the trailer in the water. Nice boat congratulations.
Yes that’s what we did! To make sure you don’t damage it on low ramps! Good point!
Resume show happy you got yourself your is South Bay new boat
Trim down before you start your motor you want the motor to have water or you’ll burn the water pump impeller up.
Thank youB
Fishing 🎣😇👍👌
DONT FORGET THE PLUG!!!❤❤❤
Boat looks good on you. Get a good pair of cushy shoes. No need for the sandals :)
Love following you. Love it that you have a bass boat now. And it's a badass boat. I am also a ranger bass boat owner and fisherwoman in California. You ever want a partner I'm your girl. lol. No seriously I'm your girl. Caught my biggest bass yesterday in Auburn calif . Love the sport, it's my passion... Keep the videos coming
Love ya
A lot different when you're by yourself.
You are my dream girl...
LOL someone beat me to the hat. Can’t drive with one hand and hold a hat. Just turn it around or take it off or, like so many GoPros and landing nets, they will find the bottom!
I would make sure and put that cover in the truck, lots of thieves out there.
Good call
Traveling long distance with a boat cover will beat the gel coat off your boat.......js!
I travel all the time with mine never had problem with gel make sure you have it cranked snug it won't mark it up
Play see you got yourself a gospel bass you can take more you can go spots where other people can when they are in there coyotes in commute play American fish out there in deeper water
Your kill switch is important dont forget to clip to your self.
Yes! Thats been tough for me to remember
Just gotta find the rhythm.
It’s going to take me awhile
Well not sure he did but don’t let people use the boat seat as a step , make sure everyone is wearing a PFD
Oh no! You have moved to the dark side.
dont drive with boat cover on. the wind will shred the poor thing
What about in bad weather?
If you’ve never owned a boat especially a high hp boat your asking for trouble
He needs a life jacket
Kristine first thing you need to learn take your hat off put your thumb through back of your hat and grab the wheel keeps your hat out of the drink she going to run a touch faster than your kayak role your cover from back to front when you go to put it back on its ready to put over trolling motor and run it to back not that I want to give you bad habits I have had bass boat since 1988 I have never unhooked boat from trailer at the water unhook at top unless you are on rollers or really steep landing I have never had my boat ever come off before hits the water that's on a glass boat I have never had aluminum as you keep using you will learn more what you are comfortable with
