I too fish From the back of the boat. Terrova 80 lb i-Pilot link. Love it. I was an early fan of remote motors. I have had one 20 plus years. Power drive with copilot was the fist one I bought. No matter the brand your not tied to a pedal. Cable motors steer faster but I have never felt like it...

That’s not normal. I would send it back. That boat will have issues tracking straight.

Hell I run a tracker grizzly 1648 which is close in size . 105lb thrust in the back and an 80 in the front. Heavy? Yep but it fishes fine. 1/2 speed about 2.6 mph full speed 4.5 mph. It won’t set the world on fire but I can run 14 hours at 1/2 speed and still not take more than 1/2 of the...

You only really have two choices. 1- cut the shaft you have 2- get another lower unit and cut that shaft. There is no way to extend the shaft. The shafts for terrova is about 450-700 dollars depending on which model it is I cut my shaft for my application it’s not hard to do but there is no...

My money? Helix 7 mega si. Hummingbird has the best side imaging hands down. In 455 kHz frequency range I can see 100 ft left or right in 2 ft of water. Only down fall with a 7 is composite di in other words no real di . The unit makes a di out of si. The money comes in with screen size. With h...

The sternsaver is the real deal. If put on properly it won’t go anywhere. Had both on my hull for 2 + years they aren’t going anywhere.

Trailer is way to small. The transom of my boat is at the back of my trailer. . Bunks extend 2 inches past the transom. The only thing that hangs past the trailer other than the bunks is the outboard. My boat is 16 ft 1 inch and the trailer is almost 19-20 ft long . Boat and trailer are factory...

I have a 2019 tracker grizzly 1648. Not the SC model but still the same boat. Extended front deck for my batteries and added tackle box. Deck rod storage straps and rod storage in the lower deck as well. Holds 10 + rods in the boat without stepping all over them.10 Helix at the bow 9 at the...

Best bet is keep the one in the back and run your accessories off of that. Some fish finders are more sensitive at lower battery voltage than others. I run hummingbirds and if the battery voltage is low my birds start doing weird things. Helix 9 and a 10 plus a 360 and a hub to link it all .I...

Small boats have always been a compromise . You might consider putting a bow mount on it. I bass fish and mine is mounted at the bow I also have one on the transom as well soon to be replaced with a 40 horse. I will be mounting a trolling motor one the cavitation plate as I fish electric only...

I used rustoleum rust metal primer and the matching paint I did it with a paint brush. It took a while but it looked like new. Prep is key . Paint job lasted long enough to sell .I used it for 6 years before I sold it. I stripped the trailer to clean metal and in a few spots down to factory...

I’ve heard the same so I’ve always sided with caution. The big box hardware stores carry 4200 and 5200 silicone meant for marine use believe it’s made by 3m. If I were you and no sure what kind of silicone it is . I would strip it and start from scratch. Better safe than sorry.

BAD AZZ! That’s what it is!

I’ve got a tracker grizzly 1648 everything you need but heavy.

Just my 2ct. It I would take the front deck from the bow to over top of the middle bench seat. Floor between the middle bench and back bench. Extend the back bench over bilge area.i would think a boat that old with a lot of sentimental value. I wouldn’t take the mid bench out. To many headaches...

That’s a lot of weight on the transom. If you fish by yours self much you will soon realize you need some weight at the bow. It’s not like it’s going to be a speed demon but by moving weight forward it brings the nose down a bit.

Sorry

In all her glory

So I got to put a full day on it today 11 hours to be exact. Loaded the boat 32 in all . They are biting good in front of the hurricane coming. Love the padding .i would do it again . I’m getting old and I tend scrounge around in the bottom of the boat a lot. It’s nice on the knees.

Yeah no shoes lol. 20 oz carpet with padding . Bass boat carpet .com is where I got the carpet. I’ve had a few tins over the years. This is my midlife crisis boat by far my nicest boat. Like everyone here half the fun is building it. 60 plus hours in the carpet and padding . Definitely not for...
