I've got an older alumacraft with 70h.p. nissan and run 24v trolling motor with just two batteries. I run two 27 series batteries , running livewell (on a timer of course) the whole trip and as long as my batteries are in good shape, I fish all day , or all night and never ever have a problem with just two. The back battery remains your 12v , and that system works perfectly. On your size boat, when you get into wind, you would certainly appreciate that extra power. And the thing is your trolling motor is pulling off both batteries, not just one, yet, you will never have an issue with starting up your motor. Been running this way for 25 years with just the two. While I'm not jealous of your trolling motor, which is the main thing used all day long,, I have deep respect for your care , that you take on your boat. Beautiful boat, and you have fixed it up very very nice. Best wishes and very nice boat tour!
You can make pulls for your seats out of paracord easily. Just remove the screw under the seat to loop the cord around and screw it back in. I did that on my tracker.
To make easy seat pulls I used 1inch nylon strap, fold over to a loop, then just used the screw/grommet on the edge of the seat when it is up. Works great.
my 2000 pt 175 had that same issue, heavy more lean on the console side but i had the 24 volt had 3 batters back there, but you wouldn't think that one battery would trow it off that much it had a 75hp on it, the boat seemed maybe 100-150 off you could see it was off on the water line on the back, "Nice boat"
I think they try n put the gas tank on the right side to help settle with the livewell? If the livewells not centered. I agree it should be in the middle though
Definitely can tell you take really great care of not only your boat but fishing gear to. You’d think the fuel tank would be placed either forward of the motor or to the left of the console. Between body weight and a full tank of fuel your roughly at 417lbs. Almost like driving a car with a flat tire. As always great video, keep them coming.
I put 3 battery's in mine plus the Power pole pump and it corrected the lean from one side. But I still think they should center the gas tank and be able to but battery's on the side.
for the water spots, i grab a 32 oz spray bottle, and 3/4 full of water, fill the rest with white vinegar and a squirt of blue dawn dish soap. For regular maintenance cleaning this works great! if you have lots of water deposits, add more vinegar. The acids in the vinegar dissolve the water spots and are not harmful to the paint. Best of all this is cheap as hell to make.
Hey TJ: Not that I'm ever going to buy a bass boat, but I sure learn a lot from you. thanks for sharing. One thing that struck me watching this particular video is the vulnerability to theft, with so many unlocked compartments jammed full of goodies. I don't know how boat owners can sleep without worry in a hotel while on an extended road trip that way.
My neighbor has a 2017 $125K ranger. It is sweet. No one wears shoes in his boat. NO ONE! He hands you a little reusable grocery bag when you get to his boat for you to put your shoes in. :)
youre just like me! I feel you on the shoes....planning to buy this exact boat, or an 18ft if I get lucky on the price....already thought about going with a barefoot policy since I hear carpeting a boat aint cheap! lol New sub....glad Im here! Can you do a "buying a used tracker/boat" video? Going to purchase my first boat, kinda have an idea what to ask from using forums....itd be cool to have a video running through important stuff, i.e. test drive, motor, livewell, electrical testing and all that other important stuff
I noticed the area around your anchor lugs are black, is that some kind of protective coating you added to prevent rope rub or is it factory? I love the fact that you're particular about your boat! Awesome video
TackleJunky81 Awesome idea! The efforts you put into keeping that boat in stellar condition in my opinion is why you still have it. That thing looks new and I love the added personal touch to make it functional for your style. Again awesome video
Also have you ever pulled a tube behind the boat? Is it possible? Debating on bass boat or something I can pull the little ones with but really want the bass boat.
I have the same boat but the weight on mine was fixed when I added the fourth battery (That's right I now have four batteries next to the gas tank and it's tight). I just installed the 112 Minn Kota fortrex 36v so I had to install two more batteries.
whats your thoughts on fishing in the rain i'm in indiana you know it rains a lot i got a used 08 pro 170 great shape garage kept as i do wood deck concerns me although i'm 63 it will probably out live me
I haven't fished in the rain a ton, but I've been caught in many down pours on the way home from the lake and as of a year or so ago my deck was solid. I sold this boat last year, but I'd assume it's still holding up just fine.
What do you use to clean the silver aluminum part on your boat. I’ve seen some boats where at part looks really dirty and black.. some have had rust on it. It looked really bad Can u advise what is the best thing to use on that part. I saw u use hot sauce but does it keep it from Rusting or turning black ..
I'll hit it with an aluminum brightener end of each season, but if you don't polish it it will get that black look to it. I have never polished mine...I just wash it like I said each year.
Can you give which trailer jack and winch you went with on your boat. I have the 2017 and thinking of swapping mine out. Did they mount with existing holes.
Hey TJ, I’ve been looking for a video you made about the prop and what pitch it was for your old tracker. Is there anyway you would be able to let me know the video title? Thanks
TackleJunky81 I really been lookin at lowrance hook or elite ti. But Garmin is making it a tough decision. I wouldn’t be going with live scope for budget reasons. Which way would you go now?
Eh, depends how much wind. If you can I'd step it up to a 24 volt. I no longer have this boat and on my new one I went 24 volt and I'm much happier with it.
@@TackleJunky81 I appreciate it buddy ain’t in no rush the 175 was all that would fit in the garage at this point . I think it will get the job done for now. Something about buying a boat leaving it outside just didn’t want to do that. Thanks bud!
@@tlbombsquad7883 I used a 55 for years and it worked just fine, of course at times I wished it had more power, but it still got the job done. I'm with you...I want my boat in the garage as well.
I believe the 2018 model will have one, but I personally wouldn't want a second console. I think it would give the boat a crammed feel. Thanks for watching Mark!
My tracker boat is Deep-V but has exact same problem with the tank location and will tilt. The way I personally compensate is keep my anchors (i have two) on the other side of the boat, also the cooler goes on the other side. Btw im from Chicago - check my channel too if u bored :)
amazing boat, but need to upgrade that motor to a 70hp. i have a 17 ft aluminum boat, and i run a 70hp on it, and it goes 33mph, so i know with all that weight and a50hp it must run pretty slow. other then that, the boat is awesome! i would definitely run something like that!

...your wife is EXCELLENT at all of the camera work...really enjoyed this vid. As usual your content, clarity and quality is top notch!
Appreciate the comment Bill!
Thank you for posting this video. I just bought a 2018 Pro Team 175 TXW and this provided a lot of great tips and ideas for rigging it out.
I don't understand how this guy only has 35000 subs he should have at least 100k
Awesome video. I have a 1990 bass tracker pro17 and I vacuum that thing out after every weekend
Buying my first tracker tomorrow, thanks for the input, tightlines, subbed
Appreciate you brother! 👊
I really like how you take care of your equipment. I thought this boat was brand new!
👊💪
You can make pulls for your seats out of paracord easily. Just remove the screw under the seat to loop the cord around and screw it back in. I did that on my tracker.
Getting the 2018 model here in the next month or so! Thanks for your honest opinion on the boat..even though it’s an older model
Gr8 video!!! I have 2018 Black TXW like yours. Just picked up the Boat Buckles.Learned a lot from you/your tour... Keep up the good work fella.
💪👊
To make easy seat pulls I used 1inch nylon strap, fold over to a loop, then just used the screw/grommet on the edge of the seat when it is up. Works great.

Really enjoyed this video :) love how detailed you are with everything ! Dream boat
Thanks for watching Jordan!
Great vid. I run the same graph at the console. Oldie but goodie. Boat still looks new.
Thanks Ernest!

Great video!!! Ty!! Are there any restrictions that keep this boat from fishing tournaments?
Great channel man, a TON of helpful stuff!
floridaBMW Thanks buddy!
Looking good. I am fishing my 21st year in my old 97 Astro 2000 and have no desire for anything different.
Thanks for watching!
I've been watching you since you first did your what's in my tackle box series
Much appreciated!
Great video enjoyed the boat tour👍
Thanks Evan!
For the console issue, can you cut out the side along the gunnel and use PVC pipe or something as a tube to slide the tips in?

Sweet boat looks all trick out.
You should check out the minn kota talon. All electrical with no pumps. Love the videos keep it up.
I looked at them, but heard mixed reviews plus its more weight on the transom. Thanks Frank!
Change your shoes to clean ones you keep in the boat. lol James, I'm OCD but you take the cake
Nice video. 👍🏼👍🏼 where did you bought those pedestal post and seat from? Thank you
Bass pro
Great video I’m looking at the same boat !
Nice boat buddy one question where do you get that nose guard and what is it called exactly
Some docks have creosote boards. Those are known to stain some carpet!
Also have you ever pulled a tube behind the boat? Is it possible? Debating on bass boat or something I can pull the little ones with but really want the bass boat.
I just picked up the 190tx last week and love it, do you plan to upgrade anytime?
Great videos bud👍🏼
What steam cleaner did you use for your carpet? Looking into buying one
Thanks Mario! Bissel Spot Clean
Can we get a TackleJunkie carpet decal anywhere?
Where can I get one of your carpet decals and the jacket you have on...
I have the same boat but the weight on mine was fixed when I added the fourth battery (That's right I now have four batteries next to the gas tank and it's tight). I just installed the 112 Minn Kota fortrex 36v so I had to install two more batteries.
I can imagine! lol SWEET motor!
New to your channel, what lakes do you fish with that boat? My lake is way too busy/choppy to even consider a bass boat 😢
Sponsor graphics stickers look great, where did you get them? Looking to add some to my boat as well.

Hey TJ, I’ve been looking for a video you made about the prop and what pitch it was for your old tracker. Is there anyway you would be able to let me know the video title? Thanks
It was a 4 blade 14 pitch. I talked about it in a stream I believe but never made a video on it.
TackleJunky81 Perfect. I have a similar style boat with a 50 Mercury trying to get a bit more top end seed from it. Thanks so much
Great boat for its age!👍
Thanks Treavor!
What fish finder do you prefer? Didn’t hear it this video, thanks!
At the time that I bought my units I found Humminbird to be the most user friendly.
TackleJunky81 I really been lookin at lowrance hook or elite ti. But Garmin is making it a tough decision. I wouldn’t be going with live scope for budget reasons. Which way would you go now?
@@Eyesofthasouth Garmin looks pretty killer...
put some weightlifting plates on the other side of the boat to counter balance. or a second gas tank
awesome boat
When you take the boat on the road, do you leave the seats and post in?
No
Hey TJ I have a 2010 with the same motor where did you get your engine cover
paul berryman Ordered it from Bass Pro.
Does the 55 hold you pretty good in the wind just got 2016 model with a 45 wondering if I might got to terrova a 55 12volt?
Eh, depends how much wind. If you can I'd step it up to a 24 volt. I no longer have this boat and on my new one I went 24 volt and I'm much happier with it.

what prop did you end up going with? i Have the same boat and motor. Wondering if you gained any mph?
I went with a stainless 13 pitch 4 blade. Was running bout 29 or so stock and hit 34.5 with the stainless...
Are u from Sparta Illinois I saw ur banner on the wall just asking cause I live in that area
What an awesome girl! She cleans your boat for you? She's a keeper. Don't have to tell you twice though do I?
Lol, she's definitely a keeper!
First thing I do to any boat trailer is put bearing buddies on them. Just an idea. Liked the video though.
Thanks Casey!
What's going on jim hope.tou and your family is well tight lines my dude
Thanks brother! Hope all is well with you too.
Get some trim tabs and that will help you eliminate boat lean
Great vid!! Expensive taste lol
What kind of winch and jack did you put on there?
Fulton F2
TackleJunky81 thx
TackleJunky81 I have a 2016 tracker and don't like the standard jack on the trailer
sick video bruh! MTV crib on boat
Thanks bro!
how is the customer service on Tracker Boats?
Hey Jim, does your power pole clear your garage door or do you have to lower it to get your boat in and out of the garage?
Keith Spencer I have to lower it.
Whats that yellow thing hanging off your outboard? A padlock?

Ha! I do the same shoe trick in my boat. Have a pair that never leave the boat.
Hey TJ . How about a counsel on the other side to balance the boat ?
I believe the 2018 model will have one, but I personally wouldn't want a second console. I think it would give the boat a crammed feel. Thanks for watching Mark!
How much was this boat
Yaaa
I think you would like a Lund pro v bass 20'..Go check them out
WHY ARE THE THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE?
Can the 50 hp push the boat around ok??
JB JB yup, no problem. 28 to 31 or so.
How do you like this boat I am thinking of getting one
Love the boat. My thoughts were in this video.
Why don't you upgrade and get the tracker with the 150
daniel bradford The lakes I fish have HP restrictions.

change your shoes?

Water!? Where is the Gatorade at? I was going to say change shoes lol.
do a new rod and reel arsenal video
I've been doing them in parts. I have 4 parts up now.

My tracker boat is Deep-V but has exact same problem with the tank location and will tilt. The way I personally compensate is keep my anchors (i have two) on the other side of the boat, also the cooler goes on the other side. Btw im from Chicago - check my channel too if u bored :)
amazing boat, but need to upgrade that motor to a 70hp. i have a 17 ft aluminum boat, and i run a 70hp on it, and it goes 33mph, so i know with all that weight and a50hp it must run pretty slow. other then that, the boat is awesome! i would definitely run something like that!
HatmakerLuck I was at 29 and when I upgraded my prop last fall I jumped up to 33. Thanks for watching!
Seriously? Wow that’s surprising: would have thought all that weight would have slowed it down more. Well that’s plenty for a 17ft boat
HatmakerLuck Yup, I can't complain.
