Have a 1860 SC Power Drifter CC with 115/80 Yamaha. Absolutely love the Boat. Wish it had a windshield for those cold or rainy days. Mike and the crew up there are outstanding people to work with. From Panfish to Salmon it does it all.

Hey Matt, Really appreciate your insights as there isnt alot of information and first hand opinions online, helped me making a decision, and just bought myself a used stealthcraft ATB (the 16x54). Was curious on those G2 Boatbuckles how you've found them/are they padded where they clip over the gunwales? I was looking at upgrading the straps as I'm finding it moves around a little too much with the current strap system. Any other suggestions on setup/features?
@MattZudweg
@MattZudweg Год назад
Thank you! The g2’s are the bomb. Work perfect and don’t scratch the boat at all. Honestly one of the best inventions ever.

Would love your input on the freezing issues! My boat is ordered! 1860 w/ the 115/80 have been hymning and hawing on the tiller vs console and you are swaying me to the console! That being said advice on freezing issues if it is that big of a pain in your butt?? Also this is my first river boat & stealth...is this the right boat for me?? Talk to me buddy! Great video btw

How does it row??
@MattZudweg
@MattZudweg Год назад
Not as well as a drift boat or even as well as my last power drifter that had a 40/60 merc. It’s a big boat with a big motor. I row all summer for bass trips and if it’s not windy it’s not a bad row. If it’s windy and I have two clients it’s a bit of a workout.

I do some remote fishing here in northern Alberta. I used to use my 14 foot utility boat with 25 jet to skim around. It was super lightweight and had the wetlander coating to keep it slippery and help with keeping impacts as dents and not gashes. I’ve sold it and bought a big jet boat which is fine for the family days. But I’m looking for a river runabout that can serve duty as fish/ drift and possibly even packing a moose out. What size boat and motor would you suggest for at least 800 -1000 pound capacity and still get up on step?
@MattZudweg
@MattZudweg Год назад
Thanks for the comment. I’d recommend the 18/54 or the 18/60 power drifter. Might even want just a tiller instead of center console so you have more room for packing out a large animal. Either of those models would handle the weight and still plane off easily.

I agree! On my second SC boat, went from an 16'x54" ATB (4+ props a year!) to a 16'x54" PD with a 60/40 Merc Jet and I love it. now down in FL and the boat is awesome on skinny water chasing Reds, Snook, and Sea Trout! Get tons of compliments down here on the versatility of my boat. And Mike and SC crew are fabulous to work with.

@@albertaoutdoors9220 I hardly notice any drop off between 2 people or 3. I used to use it on rocky smallmouth rivers in Wisconsin and it carried 3 fisherman down river and fished all day, then shot back up to launch over very skinny/rocky water without a bit of trouble....enough to make me giggle, compared to my ATB. Now I use it in the Mangrove rivers and flats for saltwater fish and it works super! It doesn't like open water with with more that 2ft waves!

@MattZudweg
@MattZudweg Год назад
On my 7th I think. They last forever, but I never lose money on them so I sell every couple years and get a new one. Always keeps me in the latest technology and the only maintenance I ever have to do is change oil. Longest I’ve had one is 7 years and it still sold for what I bought it for.
