Fish are still shallow fish the thickest buck brush and grass you can find in 1 to 3 feet with a Yum Dinger weightless as shallow as you can in the grass and brush

Fish are still shallow fish the thickest buck brush and grass you can find in 1 to 3 feet with a Yum Dinger weightless as shallow as you can in the grass and brush
I had a TR 196 ran 74 mph with a 200 Mercury Opti I bet if you had a flashed 200 Four Stroke it would push 80s all day long.
One of the fastest hulls Triton ever built with a jackplate and the right prop that boat will Fly
I finally had a opportunity to run my TRX 179 With The Mercury 115 w command thrust today slinging A stock 21 p Trophy Plus by far
the winner. I ran 50.5 full tank of gas and livewells full the...
Sweet
You fooling yourself if you think anything over a 21 pitch will give you a decent hole shot loaded with livewells and full tank of gas I am 225 lbs and I put someone 285 lbs a half tank of gas and...
I have the same boat with the same motor I have a jack plate on mine, you Will NEVER have a hole shot with a 24 tempest unless your live wells are empty and you weigh 100 lbs. I run a worked laser 2...
That doesn’t make sense I had a TR 196 that would run 70s all day long and it was 12 inches longer. What did they do to the 18 TRX ? I currently have the 179 TRX but I always wondered what a 18 and...
I currently own one, hands down best value in that class and size. Fishes great it’s 18 ft 6 inches and a 91 inch beam. I love mine it’s easy on the pocket book plenty of room, looks great plus the...
I have a couple, I still like some of the cheaper models Because I take the skirt off mine and thread on a 4 inch swim bait with a touch of super glue. The swim bait makes it swim differently plus...
I bought one last year brand new 2018 for 25600 added Ultrex and 2 nine inch Lowrance elites TI 2 and I spent less than 30000. Super nice boat fishes great,I fish Lake Fork, Toledo Bend and I have...
I have an 2018 Love it, I downsized from a TR196 I have never looked back. Great Boat without spending a lot of money, I get descent performance and that 4 stroke Mercury is bullet proof. The layout...
Had one with a 2.5 Mercury it would do 74. I can’t even imagine the skill needed to drive her at 100 that’s truly impressive Great Work
I run a 6 inch Jack Plate on mine I have the 115 Mercury with Command Stroke with a 22P Laser 2 I am not sure where I am at PTP ? but I would guess close to 3 inches. I am running WOT about 6100 RPM...
I am running a 22 pitch laser 2 with a 6 inch jack plate on my TRX 179 with the CT lower Unit. It performs well I have seen 51 MPH with a 1/2 tank of gas and live well 3/4 Full. Hole shot is not...
i love the Vexus boat, speed was not their goal, but if you want speed in an aluminum rig get you an X19 Xpress with a 200 SHO I owned an X19 with a 200 VMAX 74 MPH half tank of gas and empty...
You may have to pull up and down on the lower unit this will cause the Jack plate to go down. Sometimes it wants to stick you May need to shake it vigorously sometimes you can lower and raise the...
I split the difference raised it up to the 3rd hole dropped the jackplate measured it I am 3.5 inches PTP still running the Laser 2 it ran good but in slight turns it’s losing a little bite , but the...
I have a 2018 179 I run a Laser 2, as well 22 pitch with a 6 inch jackplate but I have 4 stroke XS 115 with command stroke. I am still tweaking mine but I run a tad over 52 with me and a tank of gas....
Which prop are you running on the 179 TRX
What Prop are you running?
Nope it’s bolted thru the 1st top set of holes it’s at the lowest setting possible, this defeated the purpose of even having a jackplate will have to move to the 3rd set. I don’t understand their...
I am going to have to take the motor off of the jackplate and raise it on the plate to even get anywhere near 3 inches PTP. I ran the jackplate to the highest setting it was a tad over 4.5 inches PTP...
I stand corrected it’s not trim angle, the individuals that mounted the motor to the jack plate are idiots the motor was on the Lowest setting ON the jack plate so the issue on hand is even if I...
Triton TRX 179 Trim Angle
I am running a Triton TRX 179 it’s 18.6 feet with 4 Stroke Mercury pro XS 115 with the coomand thrust 2.38 gear ratio with a 22 P Laser 2. It seems as if with the angle of the transom and the added...
