I own the first year of the all welded hull. Mine is the 2001 special addition. I fished my boat 3 day a week for 17 years and it still looks and functions great. Best boat I've ever owned. I love your polish job I need a polish on mine soon. It's 2023 now happy trackering
Dude that trailer does not do that boat justice and that’s a compliment. An absolutely beautiful rig. That polished aluminum is reminiscent of 1940s aviation. Looks like a polished P-51 Mustang sitting there.
Pa. Went to 20 hp about 20 years ago,have same boat 08, even at a 20 hp it’s like slow motion. Bought 20 hp to fish state lakes but that really precluded me from other good places. Sold to 20 hp got the 2013 75 Hp and I don’t cringe when a storm comes in as I can get back in minutes n stead of risking lighting strikes to boat. The 75 hp is a game changer. Would never go back to 20 hp. For state lakes I us troller with extra batteries.
How do you like it so far? I'm thinking of buying it for my first fishing boat. I sometimes fish in choppier water, have you tested it on variable water conditions yet? Thanks
@@smajerboy25 It's a good boat and I've had it on some fairly gnarly water and it does okay. The 60 HP is decent, I get about 32Mph (GPS) with the boat trimmed up with two people. Even though this boat is rated for 4 people, it would be super cramped (for fishing anyway). But all in all, it's a nice little boat and really good on fuel.
The diamond plate stepping on the front, is that welded on? TIA! Love the upgrades and love the boat! Beautiful job keeping it meticulously polished and the entire boat looking like new 👍🏻👍🏻
All the right stuff what a sick set up. The time it must have taken to get all this set up. I have the same boat 2003 with a 50 hp. The side guides (same ones you have) were tearing up the decal. So I decided to remove the decal and polish it. It took 2 days just to get the very old decals off. I am trying to polish mine now. I have 2 days into the polishing and I am not looking like yours. I am only doing the sides you have done everything. just Amazing! Any polishing tips would be cool to see.
Looks like he's not going to reply.. but yes you'll use a rotary buffer to break down the oxidation with a good abrasive rubbing compound after you get it to a polished shine your going to use a orbital buffer to get the swirl marks out. To maintain it use a micro fiber cloth with some mothers alum polish by hand.. it's a lot of work but if this is what you want then that's how you do it.. just keep in mind that polished aluminum is going to get very hot in the sun unlike a painted surface.. hope that helps bud happy fishing..
Just troll the smaller lakes that is what I do when it's a limit. Two batteries for the troll. I have the same boat but I wouldn't go out in the water without my big motor.
I’m here from the biscuit and gravy video where you turned the comments off. I am here to make sure meatball got his biscuits and gravy. I swear I will dislike all your videos and get you fired from your job if meatball doesn’t get biscuits and gravy! 😤
Can you post a video on how you polish your boat and how you maintain it. Awesome looking boat!
That polished aluminum is insane.

I recently bought an 05. This video gave me some good ideas. I really liked the tote storage and the clip board clip ideas.

Been looking to get one and always wondered how they look polished. Sweetest setup I’ve seen so far! 👌🏼
I just bought a tracker 175, and I like all your upgrades; it all looks to be a nice set-up and very efficient use of space.

@@jimsiggy thanks for the reply

Shine is unbelievable....👍

Doesn't that polished aluminum get real hot in the sun? It looks great but I know first hand how hot it can get on a 85° day
That's an 03, man that's in great shape, have you been only owner

Nice setup 👍
I would bet that no one uses the middle seat. Take it out... you'll be happy you did.
Man your boat is awesome! Please share how you got it so chrome!
The polish looks amazing, how did you do that? Did you use a buffer wheel?

Looks awesome. What do you use to polish? Can you share how you mounted the trailer guides with lights?
How did you polish that boat ? Awesome!!
Need 75 hp mercury 4 stroke push that sweet ride buy used one
Yo, can you tell me what you used to polish that out? I just got a bass tracker and cleaned it and polished it but damn it didnt come out like that!!!
Drop a 90hp on the back. Love the boat, & the video. This being said, why would you make a video and not respond to anyone’s questions.
I doubt that boat is rated for 90.
Probably a max of 75
So you can only raise/lower the jack if the trailer is empty?
Do you have a link to the USB charger on your boat?
I would also love a link to that!
Can you post how to polish
