Hey guys,
I haven't been on here in awhile due to being hard at work on the tracker! I posted a lot of questions and many helpful people responded with great insight! Just thought I would share the transformation to the final stages of my bass tracker rebuild! Hope you enjoy!
Here are some of the pictures of when I first purchased the boat last fall. Originally the boat ran fine, but as time went on the boat began to break dow. First the pedestals came up, then we discovered unsealed exterior grade plywood was rotted with the foam molded underneath that. So, we completely gutted the boat and rebuilt it...the right way!

The actual breakdown was hell. The more we took apart, the more that we found wrong. The wiring was unsafe, no stainless steel was used, and cheap carpet glue didn't pose much of a fight. Completely gutting the boat took about 5 months, but we didn't work everyday.

Now, were finally rounding the homestretch. The carpet is completely installed, wiring is complete, and redesign of hatches is also done. Just adding the small accessories now....but thats the fun part!

If anyone is located in PA,WV, or the OH area and needs anything done relating to a boat..contact Jeremy Stitam. He truly helped transform this idea into a masterpiece!
