20' Tracker SF Project

I'll check with GoFastSandman to see if he still wants the windshield, if not it's yours.

Here are a few photos of the console narrowed by 5". You can also see that I initially shortened it by 2 1/2" but then decided it was too short and added it back on. To further complicate matters I decided to take off the seat/storage bench tonight and use a cooler/cushion setup when needed. This thing has turned into a real "make work" project ! It now measures 32 1/2" at the bottom and 31 1/2" at the bottom of the windshield recess.

I kept the wide console, but hacked off the seat and use a cooler instead. I am happy with that mod, although the console is still wide. It is in a Master Angler. I took the rod holders off the starboard side so you can get fore-aft easier.

Someone told me to narrow it 8" but I choose 5" instead and think it will be fine. I just have no tolerance for boats that I can't move around on, lol! I have a 1979 20' Seafari that I would love to turn into a walkaround

You've convinced me to cut mine down the same, to 32" ish wide. I too will do away with the seat and use a cooler for that forward seating on my Tracker '87 20' . Another thing I'm going to do is use the "Lefty Crech" bar stool as my helm seat, doing away with the leaning post. I've seen it on a 2000 20' master angler Lefty edition. it opens the back of the boat way up.

Is your 32.5" at flange or above?

[otterhound]

Yes

[jimthesailor]

[otterhound]

No nothing new, busy with paying boats right now but another month I should be able to do something on it.
