pikfiredawg » 03 Feb 2014, 14:10[/url]"]Lookin Good. Im currently redoing my 95 tracker pro 18.

It was well worth the effort. I had to push really hard to get her ready before the season started to heat up around here.

Had to take a little break to fire off some rounds with some buddys then it was back to finishing up the boat.

Here she is just about ready for my very first bass tournament this Saturday. Just need to install the pedestal mounts, my hatch handles, rod holders and install my livewell aerator/pump screen.

Just barely fits in the garage; thinking I might mod the trailer into a swing away:

The seats came in Monday. Big shout out to BassBoatSeats.com for the great service. If you ever need a set of seats give them a buzz. Kevin was a pleasure to do business with and I'll use them again in the future if I ever need anything.

Boat looks great! It came together pretty quickly. I am currently redoing a '99 Pro Team 175 and the layout is very similar. A couple of questions for you from your rebuild:

1) Why remove the rod locker?
2) I am about to pull off my middle board and am afraid I am going to see the same waterlogged foam underneath. Why didn't you replace it? Is there a need to?
3) I saw the picture of the carpet from Lowe's. Do you have a product number/name for it? I would like to compare it to what I was looking at on boatcarpetcentral.com

Keep bustin' lips.

Thanks,

Jamie

Nope, decided against it. [-X

Uhm.... :roll: it was water logged because the previous owner didn't show the boat any love...it was there for a few very good reasons - you're lucky you don't have inspections where you're at.


Sounds like some congressional quality decision making to me.
