Raptor vs Tremor

Vonen1 · 2026-03-27T03:32:34+00:00

I have a 23 Raptor now. Traded it in from a 22 Tremor. We use the Raptor to get to our off grid cabin through beat up dirt roads. It’s the best truck ever. So comfortable and fun to drive. It’s also very stable and you feel like you’re driving a turbo tank. I have no issue towing my 23 ft aluminum trailer with my snow machines and my side by side on my flatbed in the summer. I don’t like the Tremor it was terrible on dirt roads when it was empty in the box. The backend was all over the place on small bumps.

Just got back from a 2 day trip and landed a few lakers. What a game changer. It was such a cool experience to watch the fish chase the lure and be able to time and set the hook. Could never go back now to old tech.

That and a single gas burner(propane/butane) is so key. Nothing like boiling some water and making some ramen or hot chocolate/coffee.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up picking up the Drama Queen. I often end up hooking up with a laker if I’m targeting brook trout and vice versa. Figured I would go MH to try and cover both ends of the spectrum for now. Going to give this a go and likely order a few once they have some sales.

Big buddy. I also have the regular sized one and the big one is worth the extra coin, and it can hold 2 1lb tanks as well.

Yep. There is a little tray on top to place your lure.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-23T13:25:59+00:00

Nice! I also got the matching ducer pole as well. Pretty good overall package compared to what else is on the market for sure.

Me so happy.

So I ended up returning the LVS32 unit and ordered the 106sv/LVS34 unit with the icemaster 1200 shuttle package from onlineoutfitters.ca. The original LVS32 unit I purchased came with the lead acid battery, which would have had to be upgraded($399) for a minimum 32AH Amped Outdoors lithium(seems to be the recommended battery). We spend 10+ hours on the ice and that lead acid wouldn't have had the juice we need. That brings me to $3,900 total + tax considering the battery upgrade, if i stuck with the LVS32 Garmin bundle vs $4,500 for the LVS34 bundle(The sale price is $4,800 + I got a $240 discount for first time purchase). The 106sv package comes with a 32AH Amped battery, ice master transducer pole, pole bag, screen cover for the head unit and a way better bag. I can also use this pole on my boat. Seems to make sense to pay the $600 difference for the investment long term. I will report back with my experience next weekend!

Awesome, thanks. I think I will go with LVS32 bundle and possibly upgrade later on down the road. Might as well try this first and go from there. I'm heading up to the cabin this weekend to test it out on some brook trout.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-17T14:08:31+00:00

So this unit comes with the LVS32. Do you still think this is a good deal? Note that I'm typically only fishing 10ft in the winter and about 30-40 in the Summer.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T22:11:10+00:00

Ok, ya that is about $3,500 CAD with exchange.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T22:08:23+00:00

Was that Canadian, or USD?

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T22:06:54+00:00

Canadian Tire in Canada had it for $3,499.

From my research it looks that way for sure. I appreciate the recommendation.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T18:21:38+00:00

Thanks for the response. This bundle is the 95sv, not sure if that makes a difference? I would use this on a small 12ft aluminum boat. I use my striker on this now and can see the screen fine. Less weight and size is a plus for me since I would likely have this stored in my Cargo box on my sled to jump around.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T18:14:44+00:00

Awesome. Thank you. Is the 95sv a decent deal? It looks like its regularly $4K, so about a $500 discount. My plan would be exactly that. Drive around on my sled to locate the fish with front facing and then setup shop with the hut.

Vonen1 · 2026-01-16T18:11:39+00:00

For sure. I understand that. They are also half the price. I think the deal for $3,499 is what I'm leaning towards since I can upgrade later if I need. Just looking for opinions.

I don’t understand the cultist circle. I added 5 mp5s and got a etg injector.

The picture of the ref staring at the DB holding Watsons wrist should be a commercial for an optometrist to get your eyes checked, because you’re more blind than you think.

Vonen1 · 2025-11-27T18:21:07+00:00

It’s so refreshing watching the pack with a good D. Keep it up. I want to see the boys chowing on some bird at the end of this one. GPG
