The New Front Runner Among Center Console Boats.. Wahoo Fishing in Jacksonville Florida 

God those boats look incredible. The owner is a down to earth good guy. Love how he appreciates his employees. God bless love from Australia ❤

I love that boat . Can’t wait until your build is done so you can share it with us . That is super cool to be able to have it built for the comfort of your growing family . Love your videos

I had no idea I needed a front runner this bad. What an absolute unit!

Hands down that is the most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen. The color combo and functionality is top notch

Absolutely magic…. a partnership between the best fishing/diving channel out there and the best boat manufacturer. Congrats to you Clay and Phil and all of us are in for the great videos coming. Stephanie and Keeley have their cabin! 👍🙏🏻

It’s a cloud nine moment. Such an incredible feeling getting a new boat! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Congradulations on partnering with Frontrunner boats! I wish you both the greatest success! You sold me on the 39’ & the 47’. Amazing crafts. ❤

I love it when Clay makes new friends and brings us along for the ride! So excited to see your new boat! 2024 will be epic.

Love how he mentions the employee's more than a few times. Good dude.

Coosa coring changed the game from having to worry about rot damage. Because it doesn’t matter how well you seal the holes from transducers and cleats etc. water will eventually get in and with coosa coring you don’t have to worry about it.

My son took me on a tour of a Front Runner boat and I was verry impressed.

Born and raised in Hawaii, fishing surfing diving etc., I had a custom built Force 30 flybridge for me to commercial fish around the big island where I live. I had it built in the early to mid 80's. I make my living commercial fishing, so speed was not a concern, as I typically go on 4-5 day and night long fishing trips!! I had a single diesel engine with straight shaft set up and trolling at 8- 10 knots I burned 2&1/2 gallons per hour!! Diesel was 70 cents a gallon back then ! I had insulated fish hold capacity of 6000 lbs. I just still absolutely prefer an open cockpit, so when trolling for instance, I have all the open space for leadering big ahi, and marlin, and lots of ono and Mahi Mahi etc. It's extremely important to me to have my gunnel height at the transom so at a slight crouch I can lock my thighs and knees in and under it to brace myself taking double wraps pulling leader on big gorilla ahi (200-300 lb size) and the big blue marlin Hawaii is world famous for, though I do not target big marlin for commercial fishing and the Huge "donkeys" (over 500+ lb blue marlin are all females. But since I live in kona and base out of Honokohau harbor there, I do take friends out sport fishing for fun! I've literally caught 100's of 500+lb donkeys many up to 900-1000 lbs!! Lot's, fishing by myself alone!! I just don't like light takle fishing, and having one outboard leg, or 4 huge outboard motors off the transom because you can easily have a fish tangle the leader in the props and break it off, which is no fun after fighting a big ahi for 30-45 minutes, or worse a huge Blue Marlin for 6-12 hours or more which kona is famous for!! It must really suck, but inboard engine with straight shaft is a dream wiring the huge ahi and marlin with the whole cockpit opento move around in and with experience you can learn to keep fish from diving under the hull and cutting the leader losing a fish!! So these are awesome boats, and fast of course, but with 4 huge outboard engines and gasoline, it must be crazy expensive to run, also compared to inboard diesel and straight shaft set ups, there's standard maintenance and they just purrrrr, (though loud so noise proof ing and muffled exhaust is needed) I just watched guns with Volvo penta diesel io set ups doing so much regular leg maintenance and it was very expensive for parts compared to Detroit or cat, or Cummins that just go for ever if you take care of them ! Flybridge's are awesome for a captain to be up high and back down etc on bg marlin especially cause you have a great view above deck level!! Just how the classic sport fishing boats in kona are built for fighting huge fidh!!!! I rarely fish off kona commercial fishing!!! I prefer to fish the extremely rough trade winds exposed waters off the remote areas of the Big island, where few boats go plus it takes days to reach them and get back!!! But man the materials and high tech building of hulls and vessels now looks awesome and very strong!! I have to have a self bailing deck with rubber flap covered scuppers because the huge rolling white cap seas where I fish are just so rough most of the time.!!! Kona of course is big game pelagic fishing mecca where the high volcano slopes block the prevailing trade winds and create a huge Lee of flat calm water for miles!!! Where I fish, very few boats go but the fishing is incredible and when it really gets good its world class but extremely dangerous and rough!!!! Aloha from beautiful Hawaii D.L

Glad to see, you made it to our area of Florida. Front runner boats have a style of their own for sure. Congratulations on that new relationship.

Sunrise drone footage is off the charts Clay.

This has to be one of the most underrated videos I've seen in a while.

So so so stoked to see the how the front runner fishes and handles in the future. Congrats on the new rig!

Nice boat! Congrats on the new build! Glad it is a Florida grown boat! 👍👍

Congrats on the new boat build! Can't wait to see the finally...

I’ve been watching your channel for about a year, and love it, love the cinematography some of the best on RU-vid! I especially like the last few episodes with the mix of fishing, meeting new people, cooking just nice work. Keep getting it can’t wait to see the new boat!

Nice boat, always great footage and camera, cant believe you jumped ship but will still watching one of the best channels out there. Congratulations

Great news on your new boat! Front Runner seems to be a super builder with quality in mind! I cant wait to see the finished product! Love the channel!

Nice video. My first exposure to Front Runner Boats - Nice to hear the company owner speak from his heart about what he is building.

My hometown, I'm glad you got a chance to see Jacksonville and experience our fisheries! Looks like I know who see about buying my boat! Awesome video. Content was action-packed!

Having done gel coat and fiberglass on Lanier for 12 years I love seeing the build videos

Great video, Clay! Probably one of the clearest, best filmed fishing videos I’ve seen on RU-vid! Nailed it man and congrats on the new sled 💪🏻

What a great video! You can tell the boat is quality! Excited for you and Stephanie and baby!

Wow what a great boat Front Runner builds. Never seen foam core like that stiff block you were holding. Great wahoo catch! Can’t wait to see your Front Runner.

One of my favorite videos. This was awesome.

Excited to see what's next. That 47 is beautiful. He needs to bring some up to the Great lakes

I'm looking forward to own a 24 in the future.... Beautiful machine

Phil has a great product. I have hull number 3. Great fishing boat. Continuous improvements will lead to FrontRunner to be in the top 3 fishing boats in the world, IMO>.

Wow… Front Runner boats are the Tip of The Spear. ➡️ Phil…Impressive on the building process of Front Runners. Nice job on the Wahoo. Clay You never cease to amaze on video Content . Keep ‘em coming…. Really cool watching you, Phil & crew in the action. Looking forward to seeing the Front Runner in front of your house in TAVERNIER, Clay. “Master Of The Oceans Out”

Man what an awesome episode, I didn’t want it to end!

I love the frontrunner boats that's awesome y'all teamed up I live in Jax FL y'all went right by my home on the St John's river lol that new boat is amazing I like it way better then your last boat I didn't know they were build cats too I'm sure it's a stud of a boat keeping all there stuff in house is good they don't have to wait on nobody elses work what a wonderful company I like them even more now that we know more about there operation can't wait to see y'all out tearing up the fish is the keys or Bahamas thanks Clay and Frontrunner.

I'm new to this channel, so I don't know if this is a video y'all have already made but if not could you make a video on how to properly clean a boat please? Could you discuss topics such as how fast you should clean a boat after it leaves salt water, what parts are important to dry off first, what products to use to clean it (for instance, do you use all-purpose cleaner or soap to clean blood spots), and maybe some tips on how to prevent or get rid of smells?

Welcome to the north flow river. That brand is making waves. Only twenty minutes from me. I was there for a captains meeting for a king tournament I was volunteering for and seen some models on display. Absolute phenomenal line up. Although I just purchased a new contender in January I did consider this brand. The fit and finish looked great. Hope you enjoy the new layout. I can’t wait to get back down to your area in September. Those little football tunas are a blast.

Congrats on your new partnership! Can't wait to see those adventures on your new ride!

that first wahoo took a bite out of the lounge seat!! :)

Nice video as always, and beautiful boat. Cant wait to see the new boat on the channel. Ignore the haters, and keep pushing foward.

Wow what a great vid and what great boat. I didn't realize how well built the front runner is! When I'm ready to upgrade I'm going to definitely look at the front runner!

Lets goooooo!!! your gonna love it! Best Center on the market!

Nice job Dominick can't wait to watch your next adventure on the water

Those boats are Beasts!

Clay ! You’re the man , I really love watching your fishing videos

Wow looks like a beautiful boat. Great footage

This is so awesome to see! Local boat builder being supported by local Florida fishermen! Glad to see you jump into a front runner and we can’t wait to see the new hull on the show. Also that 36 in the video out there fishing with y’all was my buddy. My son was out there with them that day and just saw this video and got excited to see himself on tv haha. Great video and keep on producing great content.

Yesssssss!!!! I guessed it. I know Phil he is a good guy

Great time and great video Clay. Can't say how much I enjoy all of your content.

I can't wait until y'all can do a Bahamas trip on the new boat when it's finished😄

incredible boat and wahoo!

Great day on the water . Really like those boat . I need a bigger yard . 😊

I've had the pleasure of fishing on a 33 Front Runner a few times in rough weather and I was very impressed with the ride. It was super comfortable and the build quality was very heavy duty. The only thing I would add to the boat only because I'm not super tall would be a fold down helm step to give me more visibility. If it's an option, I would definitely have them build one for you.

As a Jax resident and fisher, you were in the most beautiful city in the US….wish I knew you were here, I would taken to another awesome sit-down eatery. After a full day of coastal fishing tho, first…lol..congrats on the new arrival, and congrats on a baby too! Lolololol. Enjoy the boating family.

This factory is insane, awesome looking boats 🔥

Clay - what are you doing ? Now my family wants a new Front Runner. Drone - Video- Editing Epic shots! Thank you for the hard work

Another GREAT episode…wow!! Best than a cup of coffee to start Sunday 😃

By the time you were catching the wahoo’s… your editing and background music really started “Realing in” my attention. Great Job, those Front Runner boats are awesome!

Love my 36 Front Runner dude! Enjoy.

This video is EPIC! Tonny, keep up your humbleness, success is coming your way 🙏🏻. Same for you and your family Clay, many blessings coming your way. Keep up the good work 🤝. Tailwinds

I just found your channel, and I don't know if you've made a video on this already, but if you haven't, could you make a video on how you wash your boat please? Could you discuss topics such as how fast you should start washing off your boat after it leaves salt water, what parts of the boat are most important to dry off with first, what products to use when cleaning the boat (for example, do you use all-purpose cleaner or soap to clean blood spots), and maybe some tips on how to prevent or get rid of bad smells and mold

Hi Clay I met you guys at the flea market in the keys in February Came in with my wife Susy and I got shirts and hats Wow you had made a perfect way to go on your boat coming next!! That’s is no specific how to explain in words the Front Runner !!! Wow Amazing I can’t wait to have one of those one day. I tell you what I will love to get a shirt from a FRONT RUNNER to start with that!! Can you please send me how to get one or buy it. I will really appreciate it Perfect selection you did. I can’t wait to have one of those one day !!!

I am a fan of the channel. I live right down the street from Mayo Clinic and Love Dock Side seafood. We are there often on our boat which is at Palm Cove Marina across the intracoastal marina.

I think the front runner boat the 47 footer is a nice boat one of the best boat I have seen I just wish I had the money to get one I would love to show off and most of all to fish from I would really love to own that boat but for me it's just a dream 😂😂

@30:29 wahoo nicked the nice upholstery!!

Awesome program guys!

Great video Clay! As always your camera work is on point.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beautiful boats, beautiful Wahoo, great video. Ummmm, where’s Stephanie?? 😉

The cinematic production of your vids is captivating. Been here since early on and just want to say congrats on your growth and growing family. I felt the pain at 30:24 watcing that fish tear the upholstry.

Interesting stuff...loved the tech stuff on building a boat

Great episode! Now looking at Front Runner!👍👍

Cool coffee machine on board! Must have!😂🤣😂🤣👍👍

Great video I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the front runners I like them hopefully in the near future I can lock down on one

Thats pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing. I need a boat that can be duel purpose for diving and family. Cant afford that one yet but it helps me keep looking for what I need until I can. Again thanks for sharing.

Cool to see you went to Dockside Restaurant. We’re local and Dockside is also one of our favorites. Grilled shrimp and fried okra. Yum!

Just bought a new 22 foot bay boat and caught my first fish out of it Saturday, 40” bull red 😎

Congrats on the new boat. You get that Front Runner down there in the Keys. I think you are going to drive some business their way.

Surprised you didn’t stay with Contender. Front runner is very nice. Good luck.

The St. John’s!!! I’ll be just south in Palatka next week for the Bassmaster tournament

Looks like the first wahoo they landed ripped the seat when they pulled it onboard

Look at Front Runner but when they wanted 50k more than a Seavee for the same build. Went with the company that has been building boats for almost 50 years.

Very Good job and like the look. You will be Very Successful

The fact that y'all were saying it's cold. Meanwhile, I went ice fishing for the last time of the year not too long ago in the rockies lol

Tony is good people known him for a long time

35:59, FrontRunner been very very good to Phil!

The camera man is knocking it outa the park!

Your Baby is going to have lots of toys after seeing this vid. Outstanding LBTB ..

Hi, long time viewer and subscriber, love your new boat. Have you ever tried the Sharrow prop, if so what was your experience. I have a 29'Triton center console wit twin Yamaha 250's and am considering new props. These look interesting. Best wishes for your growing family.

Sorry if I missed it, what’s the turnaround on a build please? Thanks

Wow, you guys are up in my neck of the woods.

Another top notch video Clay. New boat should be awesome.

Front runner makes a great boat and excited for y’all 3 but curious on what you chose for power trip 450 XTOs? Also how does the AC run when staying on anchor is it battery powered or on board genny or just a small auxiliary generator such as a little Honda I have one for work and they are really quiet can’t even hear it barely even at a decent load if that’s the route you are gonna go shouldn’t be an issue at all.

Over built and super fast!! Sexy boat, proud they're up here near St. Augie!! Dudes fish hard too, the hoo bites been great in NE Fla🤙🤙

Love the channel and can't wait to see your baby girl when she arrives. Congrats on the new build. Silly question - what are your shoes? My husband wants some. He loves your Avail shorts btw.

I have no idea what he's talking about, but it does sound interesting 😂😂😂I guess if I was a boat owner, I'd understand more. Nevertheless, it's still absolutely 💯 percent great content, my brother, as always. No way is your wife allowing you to go that fast with her in that boat 😂😂😂 that is absolutely crazy how fast that boat is.

You were in my town!!! Go Front Runner Boats!! 😇 #jville

I saw both you guys a couple of January’s ago at the Island boat show. What a coincidence

We can get him on Lanier. I’ve got contacts at all the dealerships and detail trade in’s for 3 of them

As a jax/st aug native, im sold on Front Runners. Phil, would you take about 1500 bucks an a 2007 Key West? 😀

Thought you’ guys loved contender

cant beat bubba burgers on the boat. Never heard of this boat before but they look awesome
