    Well....The engine is finally tuned up and running great! We acid washed the hull (below the stickers) and shines like it was 1987 again! Ready for the first trip to the lake this weekend! Wish me luck! 8)

    1987 Bass Tracker V16 SC Guide Special Rebuild

    1987 Bass Tracker V16 SC Guide Special Rebuild

    For the curved deck up front i kind of lucked out. The old desk was completely rotten on the left side but the right side was in okay shape. I measured the original and cut it exactly in half then traced that half on a new piece of wood, flipped it over and traced the other side. When I cut out...

    1987 Bass Tracker V16 SC Guide Special Rebuild

    For the Transom I bonded 3/4" and 1/2" with Epoxy then double coated it with West Systems. I used 1/2 sanded plywood for the decks and coated them in West Systems as well. Still waiting for my carpet to come in then I will be done.

    Thanks! I finished sealing all the wood with West Systems 105. Now I am about to start the rewiring of the entire boat. Once the rewiring is done, I will order my carpet and begin that whole process!

    1987 Bass Tracker V16 SC Guide Special Rebuild

    Floor rot and Transom rot are 2 of the main offenders. One thing you won't be able to see is the condition of the foam under the floors. Lots of older Tracker owners have found that the foam was soaked with water and added tons of weight and no flotation to the boat. This would have to be...
