Rigging out a Tracker Grizzly 1754 SC Aluminum Boat |

I recently got a used TRACKER 1754 SC aluminum boat. Pretty excited to trick it out, put some bass boat type creature comforts in it and get it ready to fish some events and creep around into some back waters and shallow areas. Come along with me as I put some unique and customize touches on this already great boat.

Here is a link to the Cooler / Livewell conversion build video by Tiny Boat Nation that I referenced in the my video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebFniLBmnbLbnGQ.html

This is so exciting!!! I'm sorry your season wasn't as fruitful as you had hoped. Can't wait to see how she ends up

Thanks Beavis, appreciate the sentiment…fishing generally leaves wanting more. 😁 Yah me too, I finally had it out for the main den voyage and it’s a super sweet rig

Love this aluminum boat stuff. I’ve fished forever in a 648 War Eagle with a 40 merc. I’ve been on Fork with it many times. You’re gonna have to talk to Ott about rigging it out. As you probably know he’s got a sweet Tracker like yours that I think is the king of aluminum rigs. Please keep us updated on the rigging.

Hey David glad you like this topic, I really enjoy aluminum boats and I’ve actually been texting with Ott to get some tips and ideas and how he rigged his out.

Hi James. I just bought my 1754sc in mid June. I'm going through the same process as you. I'm excited to follow along and see what you do.

That’s a solid tracker, and it’s cool to fish team tournaments, but 17’ can be a little cramped for 2 people casting , and that depends on which direction 😜 I’m in 2 bass clubs in North Carolina and one of them changes teams for each derby, and I fished out of an 18’ which I had to watch my partner’s casts🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂 and I felt his lures wizzing past my ear 😂😂😂🤣 still a great boat and motor and I know I will learn from your rigging tricks✊🎣🍀🍀🎣👍👍👍

Thanks Will, you definitely need to be cognizant of the other angler in the boat, but you can do some stuff or some places that you’d never do otherwise

Where did you get or can you find that white plastic tray for pliers, snips and such? Had one on a glass boat but can't find another one for it

Suggestion: 3 things extend the front deck and change out the outboard to a jet for shallow water, add another gas tank.

@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 Жыл бұрын

Hi Caleb I would like to extend the deck. If I get a jet and add a gas tank I can’t fish tournaments with it so gonna pass

@jeremyallred9807 6 ай бұрын

Did you get the recessed tray in. Just wondering because I have a 1754 grizzly and the wife bought me the same tray. I was wondering if you cut through the supports and how it is working. Thanks

@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 6 ай бұрын

I appreciate you following up and checking back in on that project. Unfortunately, it has not progressed as other things had taken precedence. That being said, I do plan to get into it sooner rather than later, and I have different ideas on how to distribute the supports with an extra brace. I plan to do a video on the entire process, hopefully before the end of the month.

Hi James...what happened to the Ranger 461 you started putting together?

@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 Жыл бұрын

The 461 is like 95% finished and really while I would LOVE to keep both I will mostly sell the 461. 😕
