[QUOTE="Jinxd12, post: 512889, member: 25542"] I picked this 84 Tracker up awhile ago, and it has sat untouched for awhile. I built a 14' Mirrorcraft quickly a few months ago to get me into the big lakes, but it's a little small when the lake is busy. I got the boat into the driveway today and started the disassemble and cleanup. Foam looks pretty good (Az Sun helps keeping things dry!) The plan is to keep it super simple but add additional deck to the original layout. Re-wire the entire boat, and go through the engine 75Hp Mercury 4 cylinder 2 stroke. Engine ran a few years ago but definitely needs to be cleaned up and carbs gone through. Wood decks and carpet, I went with the EVA foam in the last boat. It's nice but it's expensive, even the cheap stuff, and I don't like that it doesn't wrap around everything like carpet. I will likely used a middle of the road grade carpet but definitely not the outdoor carpet from the department stores, that stuff is horrible when a hook lands on it! Anyways here's some pics of the boat with the before and during processes. I got the old rotted wood out, and the back deck ground down pretty clean and free of carpet residue. I need to figure out what to put in the drop in storage areas because the bins that were in there are cracked and warped. I was thinking to try and plastic weld them but probably a waste of time. Open to opinions and ideas. [/QUOTE]
