[@slabsondeckga]

Thanks bro!

[@ragncajndaboot8266]

Congrats on the new upgraded rig. Welcome to da club... i own the RT188 version...

[@slabsondeckga]

Nice thanks. Yep I love my little boat. I’m trying to find someone to install me some crappie breaks now

[@kurtheidelbach]

Yeah wish Ranger would really beef their 178 up. The Lowe 178 you can run a 115

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Nice setup..... It's a transom saver.....Brake help a lot.... Are you running lvs32 or 34?

[@slabsondeckga]

Thanks SK lol. I remembered as soon as I was done filming and wasn’t going back lol. I’m running the lvs32. I haven’t seen a reason to change yet I get a clear pic and pretty good separation. I’ve fished a lot with buddies with the 34 and I’m just not overwhelmed enough by the difference yet I guess.

I appreciate your review! Thanks! Question: does the retriever come off after you launch?

[@slabsondeckga]

You’re welcome. Because I fish alone most of the time it usually stays in that seat pedestal. However, all you have to do it pull it out of the seat pedestal when you’re done

[@the-watcher1596]

Nice boat I like it alot I would bass fish with a boat that awesome but I'm a bass fisherman but she looks great man. God bless you and your family great content 👍

[@slabsondeckga]

Thanks 👍

[@rick4649]

Is there enough room on the front deck for two people to fish comfortably without anyone falling in the water ?

[@slabsondeckga]

Yep do it all the time

[@P.G._FPV]

@@slabsondeckga how wide is the front deck at the pedestal mount area? Thanks

[@user-cv3br5yp6x]

Throw some loctite on the bolts my man

[@jenlvjim]

On the motor I'll disagree. I've had 2 and 4 four stroke motors. I'll take a 2 stroke every time

[@sharkfin154]

Why do you prefer a 2 stroke?

[@jenlvjim]

@@sharkfin154 I prefer oil injection, they are lighter and their power hits a lot harder along with being a lot easier to get more power out of the engine

[@user-lt3kr3tg2e]

2 minutes of backing up to the trailer???

[@dajahvue]

Top speed?

[@slabsondeckga]

39 mph
