I redid my 95 Bass Tracker TX17 last winter and finally got around to shooting a video of the “finished” product!
Enjoy!

Forgot to say that this is clearly a labor of love great job I am super impressed and I have restored many many boats but you have taught me a few things already. I have ordered the in floor trolling motor that looks so comfortable.

Thank you for an outstanding diy video. I’m going to restore a 95 lowe with almost identical layout. Your video will be my model. Thanks

How’d your restore go?

Your build is one of the best I can find. Going to do something similar to my 16ft Alumacraft

Awesome rebuild! This is what I'd like to do to- get a deal on a boat that needs some work and refurbish it. Happy fishing!

Thanks for sharing. Great build. Way to repurpose a good boat and make it better. Like your rod pole tunnel. I'm not a fan of rod tubes. With some rod socks you can get a great deal of rods in your boat.

@tonymollicafishing 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely that’s why I didn’t do tubes. I think the most I’ve had in there was 25.

Looks good! You live and learn, with the wiring falling down! I did the same project with a 1997 TX17!

@tonymollicafishing 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly live and learn. This was my very first build so I was very happy with it and tucking the wire again won’t be hard at all!

Great job on your boat, I had a 1986 tracker I bought in 2002 finally sold it in 2017 I loved my boat caught a lot of fish out it and fish lot of tournaments with it.

My buddy redid his 80s tracker last winter too! I helped him with his hatches.

That's a great restoration man, I did one as well on my 16' tiller smoker craft. It's a great feeling being able to use something that you created. Please fix all of that darn wiring though!

Great restoration so I hate to bring this up but you gas struts are on upside down. There is oil in the body of the strut to keep the rod lubricated and really the seals. Your struts will last much longer if they pop the loose and flip them over.

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll make sure I get those flipped

With the 75 HP, the stock gas tank offers enough gas for a full day of fishing and running?

@tonymollicafishing 6 ай бұрын

Depends on how far you go. I make some long runs and have to stop for gas. Just didn’t want to add more weight with another tank.

Any issues with the trailer? I have some surface rust in the first set of sliders that hold the wood. Do those come off?

@jrodriguez2351 5 ай бұрын

How many people have you fished on this boat with and would you recommend taking it on a 55k acre lake?

@doneggerton7313 6 ай бұрын

I noticed that you use the pink corning insulation. Did you do some research on that? Is that acceptable? I have the same bill going on and I am at the insulation point. also, how did you go about bucking the rivets? Did you have two guys with an actual rivet gun?

@tonymollicafishing 6 ай бұрын

Tons of guys have used the pink foam. It’s just fine. As for rebucking the rivets I had a buddy help me and we went old school with a body hammer and a dolly.

@doneggerton7313 6 ай бұрын

@@tonymollicafishing OK that’s good to know I will probably get some and cut bats of foam and use 3M 5200 to glue them down. I will stay away from the runners where the water goes to the back. I also want to put some floor vents the little round ones with holes. That was extremely wet in my boat and I took out all the insulation and trashed it.

How many inch should I get setback for hydraulic jack motor? I was thinking about 4 or 6 inch back since I have 75 hp mariners outboard. Thank for your time.
