I will post more "boat porn" when I get a chance! But my history with the boat has been I drove by it every day for 5 years at least but as far as I know it had been just sitting there in the bushes and trees for several more years! I had been wanting this boat for years but never could find the owner. Then I bought the house across the street and with talking to neighbors I found the owner earlier this year and am now the proud owner! After 3 days? Or 4 pressure washing the boat I finally realized what I had bought. I haven't done any restoratation to (as I can see it doesn't need much) it other than a new set of tires and rims on the trailer and of coarse draining fuel tank and going thru the motor but other than that nothing. I have had it to several lakes in SW Missouri and in Oklahoma and she runs and rides like a brand new one. I am the 3rd owner and the owner before me had it to the lake maybe 3 times. Before he parked it and walked away think his mom told him if he bought a boat it would get him women but I see how far that got him

Bonjour!

You will need one of my DeSlackerization kits. Call in the next 10 minnows and we will include a small furry hat with horns and a years supply of NoBones supplements.

The good: Raised deck!
25" transom!
Scuppers out the flat end!
Helm and controls on the propppppper side.
Stylish grab rail on the console.
Compass in your line of sight.
Built in Kitty Kat magnets.

The bad: Wiring. All of the older ones.
Foamed in tank.
Trim on the transom cut out leaches water down her core.
None of the older panache.

Cheers and welcome,
GFS

Welcome to CSC!

Get a Gucci Steering Wheel and like Otto says, "Ditch the Tracker Decal"

BTW: Don't listen to Gofast, he snorts Berkley Gulp Alive Shrimp Scent

Nah I think I'll keep the tracker decal what if they only produced a few with the Tracker Logo and I have the only one left? Then a Tracker Rep shows up at my house one day and calls me an idiot for taking it off and would have offered me 10x the $$$ for an Original unrestored boat? I mean I do live 45 minutes from Tracker World Headquarters, what if they build a museum one day? Be like a antique anything if you go to far on the restoration by cleaning or incorrect parts it could really effect the price to collectors like I said earlier the boat really needs nothing other than teak re finished

Your right transom cut out does leak water bout sunk her the first night I left her on the water over night until I figured out what the problem was! All the wiring on boat is in great condition I don't think its been on the water much since new
