[QUOTE="capperja, post: 490064, member: 31822"] Good Evening all, New to posting but I've been lurking through everyone's rebuilds over the past two months and gearing up to rebuild my own recent purchase. A couple months ago I bought an old 1987 Bass Tracker with the 35hp Mercury on it. Guys before me stripped it and set it up for bow fishing. The layout fits my needs perfectly but I want to do away with plywood and instead use aluminum, seadek (or similar), and nice hatches. I also saw that all of the wiring needs redone so I decided to remove everything and start from scratch. Attached are some pics from when I purchased it and how it is now after stripping most of it. I'll first need to address the rotten transom. From there, gluvit, repaint, and then foam. Then additional aluminum bracing to create compartments and lastly decking. If you guys have any advice, I'm all ears and will be sure to post progress as it comes along. This is mostly inspired by the "Flats Tracker" project from rook. [/QUOTE]
