2015 1860 CCJ. 115/80 Yamaha, 2 power poles, Minnkota Terrova 80# trolling motor. Running Taneycomo. https://youtu.be/VhiabQ_YLyI

I have a tach but I have the 115/80. I do not know if that makes a difference or not. What is strange is that I was looking at a used 2010 model and it had an hour meter but my 15 model doesn't. Yes they do give like 4 phases of break in and service.

You will enjoy the boat. I have an 1860 CCJ Deluxe with a Terrova 80 i pilot link and think it is a perfect fit for tail water that I fish. An extra battery is only 65#'s and when located in the center of the boat you can't really tell it's there. Check out the helm upgrade on the forum here...

I would never own one. I researched a ton before I bought my boat but none of the Lowe boats were a good fit for me.

Local dealer here told me that they have set several Strykers up with Jets and they perform great. I also think you can get a 4" transom extension for the Stryker.

After Keith's willingness to share I have completed my upgrade. I made the seats also but instead of making the bag I ordered (2) from Orvis. I added (2) angles to the back of the seat and ran a 1/2" dia aluminum bar at the top and the bottom to attach them to. I also drilled the angles with...

No problem. You can pm me if you need more info. The sea ark is great boat too. I looked at them before I bought the G3. You can also get the sea ark with an extended deck. There were 2 factors that I weighed when I chose my boat. Sea ark does not offer a 1860 with a rating over 65 hp. You have...

38 mph loaded with one large gloomis bag, cooler, 4 fly rods, 38# anchor, (2) deep cycles, myself at 180, my dad at 175 and full of gas. It is plenty fast. Jumps out of the hole in 2-3 boat lengths and I have only ran it in 5"+ water wide open. It will draft 6" (we actually measured it the day...

These boats are awesome. I'm between this one and the towee. I trout fish several different rivers and I have one River that I fish that I can't take my current jet on. I'm going to buy one of the 2 boats for that river. Let me know how you like it. I love the set up!

This is what I run. 2015 1860CCJ with Yamaha 115/80 jet. 2 power poles, minnkota deckhand 40, minnkota Terrova 80 with I pilot link. Doing the ktmarks upgrade on the helm right now.

Thanks for the reply. I actually thought about that but I didn't want to pull the motor so I ended up drilling thru the hull and mounting as low as I could.

Thanks guys. Since the pic I have installed my Terrova 80 and my deckhand 40. I have both power poles and getting ready to instal. I have a question though. I can mount them thru the transom but I'm hesitate do to motor clearance. Has anyone used the adapter brackets that mount between the motor...

It is a 115/80. Super strong. Still fine tuning. Thanks on the truck. I had a 12 model and was tired of having water up to the doors everytime I launched and loaded the boat. Don't have that problem anymore.

First Yamaha jet. Man these things are quiet.
