    I picked up a 1987 bass tracker. Not the greatest boat ever but it is my first fishing boat I have owned.( owned a open bow run about ) and I could not turn down the deal. Needed some work but I should be close to getting her wet. Will be nice to get out on the water.

    That is almost an exact replica of the boat my partner and I use for tournaments right now. Great boat! Those things go a lot faster than you think!

    Got a feeling there will be a lot of fish in that boat.

    well I replaced the fuel line. Installed a new ignition, couple new batteries and fuses and boom she fired right up. Still a few issues. bilge and aerator need to be replaced.

    IDOer Swollen Goat has the exact same boat, though heavily modified now to be a Custom Cat Tracker.

    He may be able to help you with questions

    I plan on gutting this bad boy this winter. Going to Rewire everything, re deck the whole boat and make use of the wasted space. Then next year it will more than likely be for sale.

    Well finally got it out on the water Monday. Went to a lake. I did not want to fight the current if I had issues. This little guy ran great.I was worried with the price I paid for it I would have to stick a bunch of coin into it to get it running. No leaks and had about 50-60 large mouths in it. on the first day out… I am so happy I found this boat. Now I need to find a few more low wake locations.
