3D/ CAD File for Tracker 20

Starling · #1 01-20-2021, 05:55 PM

Hello all - I'm new here and am about to embark on a resto-mod of a recently purchased 1989 Tracker 20. This is my first personal boat and my first attempt at boat repair/ fiberglass work. I'm currently doing tons of research and I believe a 3D model would really help me visualize my plans. If anyone has one they can share that'd be awesome.
I mainly use Rhino 3D which will take a wide variety of formats.

Hi NoBones,
I'm on Fish River in Alabama.
We got this boat a couple months ago and the previous owner filled it with electronics and a nice new motor but did nothing to maintain the boat itself. Looks like he preferred fishing over having a well sorted out boat. So now I get to undo a bunch of stuff and in the process I'd like to make some modifications.

Cad will definitely help with visualization but I would suggest you not get the idea to use any modelling you do for CNC cutting of parts that will attached directly to the hull. The inside of my hull was over 3/8 of an inch out of "flat" and the hull thickness varies throughout.

Hi lelandtampa,
Oh of course, I imagine all hulls are not exactly the same.
Any mods I make will be measured off my own boat.
I'm hoping to get started in the next couple weeks tearing everything down, I'm finishing up a new workshop so that's first priority.
