Hi everyone. My Name is Sergey Babak. Thank you for checking out our channel Hooked for a Nice Meal. Since early age growing up in Ukraine, I fell in love with outdoor activities fishing, camping, sports and bbq grilling. Since moving to the United States in 1989 to PNW, I was thrilled with what the states had to offer. Beautiful nature, oceans, lakes, rivers, campsites, and many places to go fishing. I want to share our family recipes, Catch, Clean & Cook videos with my family. Be sure to subscribe and click on the bell, “select all” so you don’t miss out on any of our videos.
@@hookedforanicemeal Keep a close eye on your bilge area especially If you haul crab pots. salt water from the pots finds its way into bilge which never drys out and corrosive can start. It’s noteworthy that NR says in their manual that they don’t recommend excessive salt water use or mooring. I love asking NR sales representatives about this at the boat shows and watching them squirm. I’ve owned both fiberglass and aluminum boats, both have there advantages and disadvantages. We vacation in Florida and I asked a boat sales rep why they don’t use more aluminum boats down there. He said they have a hard enough time making aluminum outboards last More than 10 year from corrosion, the last thing they want is a whole boat made out of aluminum. I’ve owned both fiberglass and aluminum boats, both have there advantages and disadvantages. My experience has lead me to think that for a boat that’s primarily used in salt water I prefer fiberglass.
@@hookedforanicemeal Yeah, it’s note worthy that NR says in their owners manual they don’t recommend excessive use in salt water or mooring🙄. I find it interesting to ask NR salespeople at boat shows about this and watch them squirm. From personal experience If you do a lot of crabbing it’s advisable to rinse and keep the bilge dry. Salt water from crab pots will find its way into the bilge and cause bilge corrosion. In general corrosion in the bildge is something that’s often overlooked, but is very real because bilges often never dry out. These are things I wish people had told me when I bought my aluminum boat, it would have saved me lots of money. We vacation in the Miami area and I once asked a boat mechanic why there isn’t more aluminum boats down there, he said “we have a hard enough time making aluminum outboards last more than 10years in this hot humid high salt content water, we don’t want a entire boat made of aluminum. Anyway, Both fiberglass and aluminum have there pros and cons, Ive owned both . With that said if I’m going to primarily use the boat in salt I’m going fiberglass based on my personal experience.
I agree with another post, you are putting your trailer way to deep in the water. It was still floating while almost to the roller. It should be well in contact with the bunks 3-5 ft from the bow roller. It will also center itself on trailer much better this way
@@bradhutchison6226 thank you for watching. I appreciate your support. I tried both ways if it’s not deep enough anchor bracket will go under the roller, without Removing the anchor, it’s not possible to load the boat on the trailer.
@@GuyPace thank you for watching. I appreciate your support. Sorry about inconvenience hearing us.We will try to improve Microphone issues in the near future.
great video, I'm in the market for a 24-26' hard top for puget sound, so this is very timely. Does your anchor not go all the way into the anchor nest? It looks like it isn't in its fully stored position. Either way, you could look at swapping for a Columbia river anchor with an anchor nest from Anchor Caddie or Fish Fighter. I have a nest on my sled and it works well, though it needs a bit of help to transition from vertical to horizontal.
@@warrenhunts thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.. Yes, it does go in to nest all the way what I met every time I need to launch my boat or retrieve it. I need to take the anchor out otherwise it’s gonna hang on my trailer.
In California, a hoop net is considered abandoned if it is not serviced after 2 hours of placing in the water. There are two types of hoop nets, the one used in the video is type B hoop net. The type A has no pillars. You can’t leave hoop nets overnight in the water. It’s considered abandoned and anybody can pick it up after 2 hours of leaving in the water.
Good thoughts! I did notice you are backing your trailer in REALLY deep when you are reloading. You barely want that water touching your forward axle fenders. Drive her right up onto the bunks! I clean my bilge pumps religiously. I could see that story ending up really bad.
@@rph3344 overall it’s OK. I’m not very thrilled with it checked the Hubs they are not leaking. just replaced new tail lights on it. They didn’t last very long.
Спасибо Сергей классное видео. Мне сделали операцию на позвоночник три месяца назад и я впервые за 20 лет не смог поехать на Бонневиль. Рад за ваш улов я много лет ловил на эту систему как у вас.
@@user-oy6in3gd2e привет брат операция на позвоночнике это очень больно и не легко пусть тебя Бог благословит и даст 100% выздоровления. спасибо за просмотр и за поддержку🙏
Three River Marine name of the dealer I put the order in for my boats before pandemic before the prices went up, boat like mine will cost way more than what I pay for it.
@@turkeybeard7814 yes when I sliced the fillet thin slices like that I cut through the pin bones and they’re no longer going to harm you it’s safe. I don’t even feel them in my mouth.
@@PavlusAdventures thank you for watching, sir. I appreciate the support. Yes it is very windy in the morning. It was blowing above 5 miles an hour about 9 o’clock in the morning wind picked up and start blowing 18 miles an hour, it was cold and windy day end on the end of day we still able to enjoy and catch a lot of shad
Thank you so much for visiting us! This video is a great representation of our factory and we're thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience at your tour. It's always exciting to showcase the craftsmanship and customization options that go into each boat, from inception to delivery. We're glad Chris could guide you through the process and show you the stages. We look forward to seeing you on the water with your North River boat soon!
Hey serge, did you add the blinker to your purple haze flasher? Or does pro troll make one? for some reason I have never seen the blinker on that particular color. It looks real good 😮
I’m a big big fan of North River always have been. Maybe one day I’ll get one. Thank you so much for the tour, I would never get for my self here in California. Thank you.🙏
Thank you for watching Jeff. We appreciate your support. Yes, it was really fun. Experience touring North River factory. They do built very beautiful boats.
Hi Sergey, Great video appreciate you coming down and doing the North River Factory Tour with me. You and your family do a great job. Look forward to seeing you again. Thanks, Chris at North River
Hi Chris, I want to thank you for giving us an awesome tour. We had a really good time and learned a lot. Very thankful that were able to make a video and show it to other people how the North River Boat’s get built from flat sheet of aluminum all the way to finish, thank you.
