TAME YOUR TILLER, BOAT SETUP | Ep070 | Off The Clock with B Scott

We tackle one of the most common sources of confusion for duck boat owners: getting the perfect setup for your specific model. From understanding the differences between VJSTs and RDBSTs to mastering the art of boat balance, we provide straight talk on what really matters for performance.

• Different Havoc models serve different purposes – VJSTs are utility boats while RDBSTs and Mod 40s are designed for performance
• Balance point is critical – finding the right weight distribution is more important than just adding horsepower
• Setback isn't just about water flow to the prop, it's about using the motor's weight as counterbalance
• Heavier performance boats actually carry less weight than lighter models due to Coast Guard regulations
• Most setup problems come from trying to make entry-level boats perform like premium models
• Prop selection matters – quality stainless steel props outperform cheap aluminum options
• The internet is full of misinformation – social media setups aren't always practical for everyday use
• Use a bathroom scale to measure your boat's tongue weight and adjust for optimal performance

Check out our gear shop for all your duck boat accessories including genuine YBS props at a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere.
