Well, I tried out my 55# motor today. It was raining and windy and the motor moved the boat pretty well. I am glad that I got it. I ran it at full speed for about 1 hr before the battery began to die out. I have a 24DC6 that I got from Walmart a few years ago that I was using. I'll probably...

Yes, they are Trackers. I got my 1436 there in February.

Make sure you get it before 6/15/08 and that the camo motors do not apply to the rebate.

I sold my MK Endura #30 and I picked up an Endura #55 at Gander Mountain. It'll be a week or two before I can test it on the water. Somehow I broke a leaf spring on my truck and it ruptured my gas tank. I think the leaf spring was defective, but on the bright side I got a deal on the motor...

I think bycicle wheels would work. If you had an old Mountain Bike with the quick release hubs, you could take it apart. I've been thinking about redesigning mine, but it would have to wait a week or so. If I attach a piece of wood to cover the wheels, it would mount to the bow really good...

Here are some pics. Since I did not have any extra lawn mower wheels like shinerman, I had to stop at Tractor Supply for some wheels, 4 eye hooks and an axle. It ran me $35.00. I had the extra wood from a few projects. I've used it twice at different lakes and it worked pretty well. I did...

I ended up making a dollie that is similar to Shinerman's. It works pretty nicely, at least in my backyard. I figure that if I can haul a boat around my muddy yard, it should work at the dock.

Thanks for all the advice. I decided to sell my Minn Kota #30 motor and get another Minn Kota, but with a #55 thrust. They currently have a $60 rebate offer on the transom mounted Edura. Since the price is in my range and I'll have some cash on hand to find a used trailer.

I probably won't get a trailer until the fall or next spring. I spent my annual bonus on a few Thomspon Center toys. I am not sure on having a foot controlled unit. I never had one before, so I do not know the pros and cons. I am just used to paddling a canoe when I am by myself and used...

Guys, I am new to boating, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is my situation. I have a new Tracker 1436 ... I sold my canoe to help pay for this. Anyway, I have a Minn Kota 30# transom mounted trolling motor. It would push my canoe nicely, but when I tried it out on the boat...

I may have to try what Shineerman 77 did and make a few modifications. I saw some wider wheels at tractor supply last week. Thanks.

I just bought a Tracker 1436 and I'll have to haul it in my pickup until next year when I can convince my wife that I need a trailer and a gas motor. Most of the time I'll be launching it by myself and I do have an extend-a-truck for my pickup. Does anyone have a suggestion on loading it and...

When I first started hunting in the late 70's, my dad and his friends would hunt in Jefferson County, PA. Back then, we could spotlight deer if you did not carry a weapon. I think it was legal, but I was too young to know. Anyway, the night before gun season, we would drive around and...

I have two CVA Kodiaks which I like a lot. The first 2 years, maybe 3 years, that I had them they both shot within 2 inch groups at 100 yards. I have shot a lot of rounds through them, but now the groups are not so tight. I can still hit a small paper plate at 100 yards. I may try changing...

I love my SW99 Compact 9mm, which I carry everywhere but church and work. For hunting purposes, I use a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 or my TC Encores. I was going to get a Glock this winter, but I spent my money on a new Tracker 1436. I have some more toys, but they don't get much use. Great Forum!
