2011 209TFX, very happy with it.
February 15, 2012 at 11:49 am #1039092I owned this boat a few years ago.
February 15, 2012 at 2:06 pm #1039177Fife, my Yar will be sittin in the same place as your second pic in little over 4 hours!
February 15, 2012 at 3:29 pm #1039214Hmmmm…that outhouse looks familiar. Go get ’em, while we’re all stuck with the mundane.
February 15, 2012 at 4:35 pm #1039238If the fishin partner would show we would be on the road!
February 15, 2012 at 4:36 pm #1039239Fife, what made you switch to a Miskeeter?

February 16, 2012 at 2:07 pm #1039657Given your location bear, you must own a yarcraft….
February 16, 2012 at 9:42 pm #1039875Maybe someday, I will decide that I can financially afford a nice glass boat. Right now I spend my time in a 14′ aluminum starcraft.

We did well last night, got started late but ended with 23 fish. Drama of the night was a buddys snag that some how fought back, surfaced and straighten out his hook
Being there was 25 boats on the clams(thanks BK
)we fish all new areas. In one location we were running along and it felt like weeds were getting wraped in my trolling motor, almost to the point it locked up! Upon turning the head lamps on we found our selves in the middle of the biggest bait ball I have ever seen, for 100 yards in front and 50 yards to the side was solid shad at the surface. I must have kill a 1000 before relizing what they were. I was an amazing spectical watcing them move! Today, 11 hours… sucked! 5 fish before babysitter called with issues

The reason I sold the boat had very little to do with the boat, but more the motor. I hated that smokey thing. After the cylinder cracked, I was fed up and I bought a new boat. Needless to say, I had the motor fixed and it ran better than any day that I owned it. I made money on the boat and it ran great when I sold it, so it was a win all around. I bought the Skeeter because the motors are bullet proof, it is a bigger boat, I really like the layout, the price was right, and it had alot more sparkles.
February 29, 2012 at 2:48 pm #1044491Got ya. What are you running for a motor now? 115 Yamaha? I have that on my Yar and it’s by no means a rocket, but if i need it for backtrolling, no complaints. Sure wish i had power steering, sure do miss that!
February 29, 2012 at 6:29 pm #1044581Yep, I have a 115 Yamaha. If I would have had that on my Yar-Craft, I probably wouldn’t have sold it right away. I haven’t had power steering for 2 seasons and I can see where it would be nice, but definitely not needed. They are redesigning the cockpit of the 2095 BTX. It looks pretty cool.
February 29, 2012 at 6:51 pm #1044589If you go from power steering to not having it, you definitely miss it. I saw they were redesigning it – should make for a little more room back there.
February 29, 2012 at 8:36 pm #1044632Here is a link to mine. Hopefully a link to WC is alright. Some of you may see me cruising around Pool 4, Mille Lacs or Winnie.
March 1, 2012 at 1:48 am #1044757Mine will be home this Saturday! Can’t wait to give her a drink on P4. I’ll get some pics up soon! BTW 2095BTX with a 150 V-Rod!
March 1, 2012 at 1:56 am #1044763Nice… how do those boats perform with the 150’s?
March 1, 2012 at 4:37 pm #1044962I can get about 47 with a full load and 2 guys. When it was new and the prop wasn’t nicked up I could push 50 with a lighter load.

Top speed on my 1785, with 150 2-stroke V-max and stainless 4 blade prop is 52 when I’m solo on smooth water. Otherwise, 48 plus or minus under normal loads/conditions.March 6, 2012 at 12:21 pm #1046516ML Guy – do you have the control pad on your electronic compartment, with switches for livewell, tilt/trim, etc…if so have you had any issues with it? I’m about to put in my third one!
March 8, 2012 at 8:04 pm #1047510I haven’t had any issues with my control panel. My issue is it’s in a really bad spot and is easy to hit with your foot and turn something on or off that shouldn’t be.
March 9, 2012 at 11:50 am #1047636I hear ya on that…same with the switches on the bow!
March 11, 2012 at 6:46 pm #1048272Woke mine up from her winter’s nap to get it ready for the Rainy in a couple weeks.
March 25, 2012 at 1:48 pm #1052186Got a new Yar-Craft last year, been a pretty good rig, been to SD once this year, heading out to go fishing locally right now
March 25, 2012 at 1:56 pm #1052187300 Verado Pro, 9.9 ProKicker, terrova 101 with I pilot on the bow
Runs about 62 wot @ 6350 rpm with a lighter load( my son and i)

I really like this boat, looking forward to more time on the water this year.
March 25, 2012 at 2:02 pm #1052191boat has Lowrance electronics on it, here is a cool pic from the Dredge Hole at Chamberlain, SD
March 27, 2012 at 2:32 pm #1052989Great pic of the Lowrance …..that’s the kind of stuff that gets me thinking about upgrading.

My last boat was an o5′ that I rigged up the year of purchase with top of the line electronics. It blows my mind how much better electronics got in that time period. I will NEVER own a boat without side and down imaging again. I use it multiple times per trip, it really does help me maximize time on the water!
