1987 Pro 16 bass tracker rebuild

[LDUBS]

I should look into something like this to put in the bed of my pickup -- I'm too cheap to buy one actually designed to fit in my pickup bed. But, I bet they don't give this stuff away either. I'll probably end up going with a piece of luan door skin or something.

PS: Sorry for the thread drift.

Looks like you are on a roll. Console next?

Yeah, I’ll be doing the console next so I can test all the wiring while I can still get to most of it.

Tight spot for 6’ 0” 215lb guy to be putting a zip tie on a wire.

Good looking boat! Nice wide console. Is that the original one?

Yep, original.

Got the front deck cut and carpeted. Working on getting areas ready for 2 part pour in floatation.

All of the original lights work

I like the original console but my worry would be the angle of that steering wheel. Can you get a wheel with some built in angle? I dont know if I'd like feeling like I was driving a bus. I prefer the pirate ship angle!

The steering wheel comes out at more of an angle than the top of the console.

Here’s the angle of the steering wheel. I guess I’ve never cared much since I’m only behind that wheel like 5% of the time. All my time is spent on the trolling motor.

Decks aren’t attatched yet because I still need to put in the 2 part pour in floatation.

Looking good! looking good! looking good!

I have a paddle tucked away too. I kind of consider it more a decoration than something I could use to move the boat. I guess I can use it as a club to repel boarders. Haha

Completed some hinge work.

Finished up the floatation. Got the casting seats in. Installed rod holder .

Hookset high back seats from bass pro. They were on sale for $38. They are great seats, used them in all my builds. Also yes the boat in this thread will be for sale when I get it finished up. The other boat is one I built for myself and will be keeping it for a while.
