Can you measure how tall the sides on your boat for me? Tracker doesn't list them for some reason.

Sorry it has been so long. The project got put on hold a bit but here is a recent photo. I will take some better pictures and get them online. Still not done yet. We are building the livewell this weekend.

very nice work. is that a camoclad or somthing simular you put over the flooring?

Thanks a bunch. It is actually called Hydrotruf from Gatortrax. It's great stuff. Doesn't really get hot or cold. it is very light and doesn't absorb water and it totally killed the sound on the false floor.

I saw that stuff from gatortrax... does it have any cushioning to it?

I thought about putting that on top of my carpet see as how much I've been fishing in the rain lately..

It does have a LITTLE cushion to it. But better then standing on aluminum. Great traction and no heat when it is sunny out. I used to never be able to go barefoot while fishing before.

how much did that cost you to do your whole floor? i like the camo pattern, looks great. may have to redue mine

My buddy owns a metal shop and he didn't charge me a dime. The gator trax was about 250 bucks if I recall. I did end up giving my frined one of my semi auto's. I didn't think it was right not give him somehting. He wasn;t going to take money but he wasn't going to turn down a good duck gun.

If I had to guess I would say it was probably 400 to 500 worth of metal

Incredible boat, great job too. Neat idea about the gatortrax

Thanks a bunch. i am really ahppy with it. I have two set ups for it. One for fishing and one for waterfowl. I will take some pictures of the fishing set up soon and get them on the board. The waterfowl set up is close to the above pictures except it has a colapsable blind attached to the boat.

I actually got the gator trax idea from a response to my original post so I have that guy to thank for the idea.

What is the thickness of the aluminum you used on the floor?

 

[hurtvahokie]

What type of welder are you using on the boat. It looks fantastic just what I wanted to see. I want an alum. floor to save on weight.

I love that boat!! Great job on the mods. I wish Tracker still made this model.
