    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    Yeah, it says 190 lbs on the tracker website. It would be nice if I could hit 25 - 30 mph with a 25hp.

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    I hope your right Chrispy. I have 2 Series 29 batteries, MK 210 Onboard Charger, and I still need to get the cranking battery. With all that weight plus the decking, console, etc, there will be a good bit of weight there, not including all our gear. I'm about 186 lbs, but my wife is a little...

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    Not exact footage of alum tube and angle, but about 10 tube and 3 angle. The 1" tube is normally 24' lengths, and the angle 25', but I bought some smaller lengths at times. Some were only 8' - 10' long. Whatever they had when I went to the metal shop. I have a bunch of angle left over and a good...

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    Thanks Bigred. The only problem with the rear decking, is the tops of the pods on each side behind the bench seat, are slanted towards the middle of the boat, probably for water run-off. There is a 1/4" difference on my boat, so I had to shim the framing to make it level. I had some 1 1/4" alum...

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    Thanks guys, I love building this thing. I'm gonna miss all the work, when I am out fishing in it, haha. The boat is rated for 25 hp, so I was planning on a new 25 Merc with T&T and Elec. Start, sometime in the near future. I already have a side console, steering box and cable, to mount in...

    I finished most of the framing now. Still have to do the top of the seat area in front of the rear bench, and a few little odds and ends.

    Here is something I did on a program called Home Plan Pro. You can use that program to design just about anything. I took all the measurements of the new boat and drew it in that program, then started designing what I wanted to do.

    Well, I got a little more done today. Cranking Battery Box. Aluminum tube floor riveted in place. Added the blue foam. Made the battery box, the aluminum angle lip, and started the rear decking.

    G ideas for back deck build

    I will be starting the rear deck build on my boat tomorrow. It will be done with aluminum tube, like the rest of my boat, which can be seen at the link below. It will have a hatch that lifts from the back, and I will leave an opening for ventilation to the gas tank area. It will have plywood and...

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    Thanks everyone. I buy the aluminum at a Metal Masters here in Lake City, FL. I checked a place online and a couple places in Jacksonville FL, and they were all more expensive than Metal Masters. Lowes and Home Depot have crazy high prices for their aluminum. The deck is pretty solid now, and...

    RLC61's Tracker 1542 Build

    We are strictly catch and release, mainly for Largemouth Bass, and we never use live bait, so I removed the livewell, and made it the battery box, which will hold two Series 29 batteries, a Minn Kota MK-210D Onboard charger, and Blue Sea Systems 6007 m-Series Battery Switch. I welded up the hole...

    Garcia Revo Reels

    I used an Ambassadeur 5500 C3 for about 15 years, and love it, but recently decided to upgrade. I fiddled around with all the Revo models at Bass Pro. I ended up buying a couple Revo Premiers. Thye are awesome reels.
