I need to get some experience with the new Bote Rover. After messing around with it on this particular day, I've learned three important facts.
1. It's going to take at least 3 months to get the hang of this new fishing platform.
2. Catching fish off the Bote Rover WILL BE DIFFICULT in the beginning.
3. The Bote Rover does NOT do well in the wind.
I will continue to document my learning experience on the Bote Rover.

Thank you for the introduction, Nick. Blackout Coffee Company is a family owned and operated coffee company out of Florida. We fresh roast the coffee so it tastes amazingly awesome. Good luck on the GIVEAWAY everyone. Thank you and God Bless!

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

GIVEAWAY has been completed. Thanks to everyone that entered. If you didn’t win, no worries. I have a coupon for you to use on ALL your purchases with Blackout Coffee Co. Coupon is RXANGLER We will have more giveaways soon. I promise.

@fredaw61 5 лет назад

I was eye balling the Rover a while back and actually bought a 2019 OutBack. This information is really useful and honest. Keep up the good job.

@TrailChaser 5 лет назад

When I get a cut..I bleed coffee. I have to use coffee filters for bandaids. Did I mention I probably drink way too much coffee. I hear bote powered paddleboards can easily tow mine and Mark's kayaks out to the distant fishing spots with no problems. Probably works best that way. j/k

@rahenry01 5 лет назад

Giveaway...Need to cut the motor while fishing and to plane out you'll need to adjust your seating and the motor. There's a tiller extension out there for your motor. Google it Bro. Nick I'm impressed with your new style of vids..Great job man Tight Lines!

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

Zac Sells Yes it was 👍

@tiszaihorgaszat 4 года назад

I watch the videos, I really like them ... the channel is international, there is already a Hungarian viewer ... thank you very much, this is new to me.

@bretsheffer8263 4 года назад

In the future when you launch, you need to actually back your truck in the water just enough so tail pipe is sticking out (get rid of rear bar). Then jump in the back of your truck and shove it out without ever having to get in the water. Load all weight in trk bed with motor and strap down tight front and back and you won’t need rear bar.

@rdo6566 4 года назад

For about half the cost you could have picked up a 12' flatbottom aluminum boat and the came motor and had a real boat that was stable. This thing looks like a total Hold My Beer and watch this design!

@johnbinzhou 4 года назад

Great honest review. 9.9hp is an overkill. I have a Saturn Kaboat, 6hp is plenty. 17mph solo on calm water.

@7citiesfishing 5 лет назад

Awesome video man! Those lil boats are dope

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

agreed

@Imnotyourdoormat 4 месяца назад

No "Ramp Follies" with that thing...

@Erica-os2mp 3 года назад

Could you extend the motor tiller and sit further up on the vessel? Maybe get it angled a bit so it is beside you and not behind you?

@WeekendPirate 5 лет назад

It’s going to take some adjusting but I think you are going to like it more and more as you use it!

@mikebryant9493 5 лет назад

You have to get that boat balanced better, the drone footage showed the bow way too high, did it ever great up on plane? With the motor and you sitting on your cooler it appears to be way too heavy in the back. Maybe get a tiller extension and center yourself in the bote? Good luck!!

@retnav92 5 лет назад

Concur on getting a tiller extension, and moving weight (you+cooler) fwd some to get the rig trimmed fore & aft. Did you have anything in the cooler, or was it empty? Didn't see one in the quick intro, but did you have a caution flag hanging off the end of the bote when transporting in the truck?

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

yes, the bow was rising too high. I made the adjustment to the outboard since then. I haven't found the right tiller unfortunately

@mikebryant9493 5 лет назад

RX Angler it’s out there, and you will prevail!! 😄

@TexasAllWaterFishing 5 лет назад

Heck of a rig brother 👊🤙

@jldfishing6622 5 лет назад

Hey Nick it probably be a good idea to go to the 6 horse motor to save weight but you might look into a hydrofoil to help keep the bow of the boat down and help keep it from chin walking and something you might want to look into it might be hard to find to fit one to fit inside the boat Rover it on hooks onto the bottom of your motor

@smcewen7 5 лет назад

Nice! Smaller motor would probably help alot,and some weight in the front in like Mark 😁👍

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

@AnotherFishTail 5 лет назад

I am really curious to see the rover in full action. I been watching your channel for a while now and I definitely think the rover will take your fishing to the next level. Oh and Giveaway. That coffee looks delicious.

@robertl5469 5 лет назад

Nice video Nick, i think a trailer would definitely help

@ekoado3373 4 года назад

The paddle board or stand up board is only worth it for the simplicity..once you load it up with motors etc...it really just turns into a boat...it looks cool..but really just a super small boat.

@william4524 5 лет назад

I am buying a bite this summer, do you think the 9.9 hp is too large for the Bote. Who is the artist that sings that Reggie song?

@ruzac61 5 лет назад

Don't downsize the motor. I don't think it will help for weight reasons. Move the weight (including you) forward. I played on mine for days before I even thought about fishing. Good video.....giveaway.

@MrSeayz 5 лет назад

Great video brother but a word of advice, aluminum props not good around oyster beds!! Don’t know if they make that small of stainless prop but you better have a back up prop for skinny water. Tight lines!!

@jorgeamparan9742 5 лет назад

did you need a boat licence and did you need to register the skiff

@bigk3381 5 лет назад

Hey Jorge, I was going to ask the same question about registering, but just before he launches you can see the TX numbers on the starboard side. As for his age and taking the Boaters Safety course...??? Tight Lines and Full Limits to Ya.!

@joeldavis2640 5 лет назад

When the motor died, it looked like u had ur foot on the fuel line. Good vid. Sweet looking boat....skiff.....whatever it is.

@ComeOnRedsFishing 5 лет назад

Man that thing is about the size of a Dargel Skooter and not near as convenient. For sure more expensive.

@heathbarkley1973 5 лет назад

Thank you for the GIVEAWAY!! Is leaving the motor idling while fishing something you would normally do?

@JTMonkey87 4 года назад

I'm pretty sure maximum outboard size is 5 or 6hp, that might be why your having difficulty controlling the skiff

@chriswhitaker269 4 года назад

How far does your 9.9hp motor sit in the water after mounted on your rover ive had a bote rover now for almost a year and I just purchased a 9.9 Yamaha outboard motor for more power on my rover but I find that I go slower with it on because it doesn’t sit all the way into the water if you have any advise that would be much appreciated man

@FredPecheur 3 года назад

Hi Thank you for this share. I got a mini bassboat but i want to add or replace my boat with this one. I live in south of france and fish in big river you can check envronnement of this river on google image there are some big boat (wave) and lot of wind do you think Rove bote is safe enough for my area ? Then i thin kwill be easy to import in france. Thank you Regards Romain

@reyesrolando1964 5 лет назад

Sounds kind of noisy maybe you need to put a trolling motor in the front of it so you could shut the engine off...

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

I might have to...especially fishing the marsh...something I've thought of already

@masonproductions9539 5 лет назад

Or use the paddle provided lol stop being lazy

@bigalcervantes5118 5 лет назад

Turn off the motor dude. You will waste gas with the motor idling in place. Get a trolling motor. Only use the big motor to get to and from your fishing locations.

@masonproductions9539 5 лет назад

Big Al Cervantes Big Al Cervantes once again this is a paddle board hybrid so use the paddle they provide you with lol

@FishingFloridaWithKO 5 лет назад

Giveaway! I think you are going to sell this and stick to your kayak. Maybe add a small kayak motor so you can save some time. Sounds like that's what your want. If doesn't look safe at all with the new set up.. Looks like you can tip over any minute with a bad wave and wind..

@saltyexperiencetv7512 4 года назад

Hey Nick, I just got a Bote Rover and I took it out for the first time today. The 9.9hp does have some power for this little skiff. It was pretty sketchy at first but after a while I got comfortable. I fish the South Texas waters as well and hope to see you out one day!

@jtee9548 5 лет назад

Yeah, that got a little scary. Too little boat with too much motor! You are a brave man. Looks like super fun in calm water. A smaller motor might only cost you 10% or less in top speed, like less than 1mph for 50lb weight saving and a possible increase in fuel economy. You could power like a 16 foot aluminum boat with that Suzuki! Good video, well done.

@stanguevara4722 5 лет назад

create some kind of pontoons oil you get acclimated

@bobjohnson7207 2 года назад

Hey that looked scary. I use a 2hp Honda on my 8ft.Walker Bay more than fast enough and trolls down slower than my electric. Tiller has a friction lock screw which I can lean turn and would be hard pressed to burn $2.00 of gas a day. I catch the biggest Rainbow Trout for hundreds of miles. More poundage than most of the Salmon Fisher's who fish the salt water. Weight is the biggest factor in boat speed. Happy you made it home alive but hay you could always come up to the Naniamo BC bathtub boat race to Vancouver BC. I'm sure you would win.

@venustianocarranza3182 5 лет назад

Looks like like it would work out

@SalYourPalChencho 3 года назад

Just got an AERO, are these easy to flip? I have an 8hp mercury. Any tips would be appreciated! I also live in Houston, so perhaps we could get together someday and learn from each other.

@rbrADV 5 лет назад

For those of us who fish in cold, northern waters a skiff isn't an option. A better choice is a Wavewalk S4. Totally dry and virtually untippable. See the S4 in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y_tQ0bi_s-4.html

@michaelhaynes8388 5 лет назад

You just got to get use to "your" equipment. As you say, it's going to be a Learning Curve. Like other have said, ensure you have your toolbag and extras if or when your need a repair on the water. Believe me, there is nothing like being DOW...Dead on the Water without self-recovery equipment. Also, suggest moving your equipment forward to get on plane faster and to balance your boat...Lastly, as suggest placing rod holders on your cooler to have better visibility while driving and if a hook comes unloose (hook in the eye). Good Luck and Tight Lines Always.

@RXAngler 5 лет назад

Good tips. Appreciate it my man.

@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365 5 лет назад

why would you place that much power on a bote aren't they only rated for a 6hp? Did that void your warranty, bet so. Btw, lovin the vids.

Hi there! Do you still have your rover? I just got the inflatable version and changed the outboard to 2.5 hp. The 8 hp was just too heavy.

@turtleboxaudio 5 лет назад

this thing is AMAZING! I want one

@usndv 4 года назад

you need to balance it out IE: put fuel tank forward of your hand hold and strap it down sit further forward that way you and that way you can get the nose down in the front and your able to get up on plane with using less power. your weight distribution was off you had the majority of your weight aft of your center point hence you were unable to get up on plane and your bow stayed up balance is the key weather or not you in a boat or your skiff

Giveaway! Love your videos keep up the good work!

@TheFishingMommy 5 лет назад

Lots of folks buying these lately. Check out how Lawson Lindsey has his set up; he does a lot of stealth sneaking up on fish in mangroves which is similar to marsh conditions. My suggestion would be to put a trolling motor on the front, which will balance the weight a lot. The 9.9 is great for covering lots of water but if you’re going straight to a marsh, unloading, and dropping right in a mile or less from where you plan to fish...I’d say maybe consider removing it for those marsh trips and only use the trolling motor. You can always pop the outboard back on for more open water situations, tougher conditions or longer runs. You definitely want a tiller extension if you’re keeping any outboard! Good luck with it, and give it some time & lots of practice 😀
