I do. I'm at the very early stages of replacing my current Ranger and Ken's videos are one of the the tools I'm using to help me make a decision. And no, I'm not a newbie to bass boats. Going back to the 1980's I've owned:
Thunderbolt
Infinity
Skeeter

Thanks Ken for the insight you bring to boat choosing. You bring up some things that I would not have thought of.

I'm with you Texan...I've enjoyed all the boat reviews. I appreciate the reviews, and it helped me in picking out my newest boat.

Count me as a BIG thumbs up as well.....👍 I learned a lot from Ken's boat reviews that helped me when I renovated mine.

He picked whoever gave him the best deal, like all of us would. I thought you had to pay for advertising on this site....

I doubt they gave he much of a deal, even at a discount it would be pricier than some of the others tested. I like his reviews, he isn’t obnoxious and his testing is pretty good. I don’t think he properly weighs value in his testing and value can be subjective I suppose.

Very balanced response.....👍

Ken produces very nice videos with some more interesting to me than others.... exactly as is to be expected. Yes, he has to produce quality content to build his brand and YouTube channel . Yes he has to promote sponsors who have helped him out.....that's just good business. I'll say this, he's a LOT less "promoting" then most other content providers I've watched and studied.

However, he seems very sincere in attempting to help "us" as he himself learns new info and/or is very sincere in attempting to transfer information to us that he already knows (no doubt a lot of it hard earned). What more can a person ask of a fellow passionate bass fisherman than trying to help others?

He's obviously a reasonably accomplished bass fisherman, unlike most YouTube content providers who simply steal and parrot others. Believe me, I've got more experience with the wild, wild west of social media/the internet than most and I think he does a very nice job. JMOP, but, it's a reasonably educated one.....trust me, dealing with un-accomplished basement keyboard warriors is a big PITA at times.

I do know from his previous videos that he takes the boat he's going to run very, very seriously. I also know he's run several other brands, Ranger being the previous rig he ran. It was simply smart business of him (and very informantive) to record HIS search for the correct boat for HIM.....and along the way he gave US s some information to consider in our own search. Because he did this WE don't have to get off our collective butts and go do it ourselves.

Before you ask, I've never met the man....
