It's an awesome mid sized fishing boat, I have the same model 50 hp, I've upgraded to a terrova 24v TM. We fish the Ohio river a lot, its very well suited for running shallow tribtaries which is why I chose it. Every time I take it out it gets a new battle scar, sucks but it's part of the deal with painted aluminum.

Well done review. I have the Classic XL purchased in August and love it. I think though if I had to do it all over again I probably would have gone bigger. I have a new Garmin 93sv to install and based on your review probably will mount it on the bow. I will definitely change out the batteries. The nice thing about Tracker boats is they come ready to fish from the showroom floor with virtually no modifications.

I ran a string from the back seat post to establish a centerline, cut the hole using the supplied template, and screwed it down. I did have to cut some of the foam out under the deck to clear the tray. Highly recommend one, especially if you stand a lot to fish like I do. Good luck on the water!!

@rgrtv86772 жыл бұрын
Only the trolling motor runs off the Battle Born battery. Everything else is hooked to the Odyssey. Check out the PC925, it should start your 40hp fine. It has 500 MCA (5 second pulse of 900 amps), 28Ahs reserve and only weighs 26lbs. I might upgrade to it this season for the extra reserve capacity. The PC680 only has 16Ahs. That'll run my 2 Lowrance Elite Ti2 units and lights for about 6 hours but the voltage drops into the low 11s . It still starts my 20hp at 11.2v, but if I fish all night I'd have to pull start for sure. There's some other lithium options out there but don't wanna spend $600 on a battery right now. Hope this helps. Enjoy your new boat!! Thanks for checking out the video and the feedback!!

Really enjoyed this video. I have a 2021 Pro 170 and try to watch as many videos as I can find on them to see what upgrades others do. I have enjoyed the boat so far, and I an intrigued by your forward transducer mount. Do you find it to mess up your sidescan ability when you have the trolling motor turning? Or you you not use side scan as much as downscan when you fish up front?
@rgrtv86773 жыл бұрын
The sidescan works fine trolling in a straight line at medium speeds. It does distort the image when you turn the boat, but I do use downscan 95% of the time up front. I plan on adding the 7" (display only) unit at the dash before next season. That way I can link them, drop the trolling motor and ride around looking for structure at the driver seat. It's a little cheaper option and easier than adding another transducer to the back of the boat. You probably already know this but there's a separate wire run to the front of your boat from the factory for a front mount fishfinder. Splicing into the trolling motor wire would cause interference. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the review!!

Used the same mounting holes on the transom as the factory bullet and its been flawless. Only hard part is running cable thru the panel where your throttle is, but if you use the original ff cable and pull it thru it is very easy. Not sure your budget but highly recommend getting a unit woth another 3 in 1, both won't be in the water and operational when you are at slower speed, biggest issue may be to put one in standby so they don't interfere with one another, or peace of mind that you have a spare in case one fails.

Does it store in your garage 🤔
@rgrtv86772 жыл бұрын
I don't have a garage and keep my boat in an underground storage facility during the winter months. Somebody did comment and said it's around 20ft in length with the tongue folded.

Awesome review, I have ordered the same boat 2023 model, long wait to get it built, like the options you have added, especially the recessed foot control. How did you take care of the drain tube in this setup?

Was the 20 hp part of the package or did you purchase the motor separately?
@rgrtv86773 жыл бұрын
Part of the package. The place I bought mine puts 20hp on most of them they sell.

isnt the classic xl and the pro 170 the exact same size?
@rgrtv86773 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure, I know the 20hp isn't an option on the classic. At least that was the case when I was looking for a boat.
@tbrown7373 жыл бұрын
If you don’t mind me asking I’m new to boating , why would you be able to mount a 50HP on the classic but not a 20hp? Thanks

@@tbrown737 It would work fine, but for some reason Tracker doesn't offer it as an option. If you build one on Bass Pros website you'll see what I mean unless they changed it.

they are the same size-the storage is a bit different
@AWAngling3 жыл бұрын
Hey, The classic is the same hull just a different interior layout. As far as the motor size the lowest we run stock is a 40HP this is how Tracker decided to run the deal, being its a limited edition boat. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at TSHolben@basspro.com

175 txw is a bit bigger with a bit more room on the front deck and way more storage. Can’t go wrong with either boat for the 20 hp restricted lakes in pa. I went with the 175 because of the storage.

😂 Not by choice, that's the max horsepower PA Fish Commission allows on most lakes I fish. The only way around it is to run a bigger engine with 20hp stickers but they know people do it and aren't afraid to fine them.

Thanks! I've seen guys with 9.9s on them before they allowed 20s on the lake I fish. Not sure if you can buy them that way, probably had the engine swapped at the dealer.
