Matt's NEW BulletProof Aluminum Boat!! Full Tour + Jet Boat Rigging

Matt's new jet boat made a big splash in recent months and today we're taking a tour! The black boat named "Strawberry" is the culmination of years of planning, preparation, and destroyed boats. The guys have crashed and sunk multiple times and learned valuable lessons along the way. While we tend to focus on the good days at TacticalBassin, the truth is, a lot of the best learning happens while you're bailing water out of a sinking ship!

Matt's new completely custom jet boat was built by Mike Watson of Bulletproof boats. It's built on his famed "Creek Runner" tunnel hull, with a standing center console. Matt spent months thinking through every detail to make this boat as fishable as possible, and Mike brought all of it to life. It's a true work horse, purpose built for running shallow water to target giant fish, far away from crowds.

Below you'll find links to all the gear Matt used to rig this boat. The links will take you directly to  Tackle Warehouse, where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included links to Mike Watson's Facebook page, Hennessey Outdoor Electronics, and Omega boat steps' websites.

Come take a look inside Tim's brand new boat! Let's look under the locker lids at how he stores his tackle and what he's really fishing with! We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Tim is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, and the mindset behind how he lays out a boat for proper boat handling and tackle organization.

We're so excited about this new boat! From the brand new Yamaha SHO outboard, to the Dakota Lithium batteries with massive storage capacities, this boat is built to handle everything we can throw at it! As Tim opens up his new boat and explains his layout, pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how he organizes it to create a stable driving and fishing platform. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat!

We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Matt is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, and the mindset behind how he lays out a boat for proper boat handling and tackle organization.

We're so excited about this new boat! From the brand new Yamaha SHO outboard, to the Dakota Lithiums with giant capacities, this boat is built to handle everything we can throw at it! After decades of fishing out of every kind of used boat imaginable, this is the first new bass boat he's designed from the ground up. As Matt opens up his new boat and explains his layout, pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how he organizes it to create a stabile driving and fishing platform. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat!
