This is phase 1 of this Bass Tracker Pro 17 rehab project. This is a 1994 fishing boat that I'm charged with rehabbing back to like new status. In this video you will see what it takes to pull a boat like this apart, gut and clean everything in anticipation of building it back like new. This is the first bass tracker I've done and I'm hoping this video will show you some of the things to overcome and prepare yourself for if you are taking on a job like this.

Pro tip for next time a screw is rusty out like this 7:38 take a grinder and and cut straight line in the head of the screw and they will come right out. Saves you a lot of time.

Amazing work, and videos as always brothers!!! Just a little tip for future deck removal, and rusted stubborn deck screws: I you use a small hole saw and cut a circle around each screw, you can then go back with pliers or vice grips, and remove those nasty srews without having to grind away at them & the wood decking. Keep up the great work...Until next the next vid, Stay cool brothers! 🤘🤘

During the first year of the big virus (Cov-id) I tore into my 1988 Tracker Prov-16 and did almost exactly what you've done in the video. Great job gutting the boat and prepping it for the new surfacing. I think I am going to do mine again, as I think it would benefit from me removing the wood flooring and deck, and replacing the wood with aluminum sheeting, and replacing the carpet with Sea-deck or something like it. Thanks for showing the change some elbow grease can do for an older boat.

Go for it. You can find a Tracker on FB Marketplace and fix it up yourself.

@MrNickessler 4 ай бұрын

What did you paint the hull with? Also with the wire brush on the carpet adhesive: are you putting down the xylene with a spray bottle and then just wire bruahing it off? This series has given me the confidence to do my 95 tracker! Thank you so so much for putting this together.

@BassBrothersFishingDMV 4 ай бұрын

Awesome man. I painted the hull with Rustoleum self etching primer. It's an automotive primer. This was just to put down some barrier on top of the exposed Aluminum. You could also paint the hull if you want. I sprayed the zylene on the aluminum then used the wire brush to get it all off. It's going to be messy. Ruined a good pair on sneakers and sweatpants but it was all with it 😄

IDK how much you're charging for this but it's not enough. Great work. Also can you link to those work tables you were using? looks like a great solution if you don't have a ton of space!

Never treated plywood in aluminum boat. It eats holes in the aluminum cause the copper material they use to make it.

I've heard that for pressure treated wood which this is not.

@robertpeet3781 6 ай бұрын

Wouldnt it be better to rivet the floor down then screw it , the screw seem like they will loosen up over time......
