nice boat man, great video; love how thorough you were with the explanations and the walkaround.
Thanks brother
Thanks and make sure to subscribe to the channel and hit the bell for future vid notice.
Really nice boat. Great ideas for mods and great video. Thank you for your service. (Marine vet)
Thanks brother and thank you for your service. Best wishes for tight lines, health, and prosperity.
Like the walk through. Ratchet straps on back deck extension and the upgrades. Good fishin
Thanks @Gary Kelley
Great upgrades.
I have the Micro Pole on mine too, tried the clamp but it constantly came loose. Ended up just bolting it on. That thing puts so much torque on that clamp it would loosen by end of day sometimes. Def keep an eye on it would suck if one day you look back and the whole unit fell in the water. I absolutely love my Classic XL.
Very professional vid!
Thanks Chief!
Excellent job !!!!
Thanks brother! Tight lines!!
Just looked at one yesterday. $18, 920. They're out of their minds. Almost double the price in 2 years!
Good job on the lid mounted charger. I like it.
Thank you and thanks for watching! If you liked the video and want to support the channel just hit subscribe!
We're looking really hard at this boat listed as a 2022 model now. I absolutely would want to add a gas tank , love how you mounted your battery system charger. Footpetal is a good idea that I know I can install. I like your deck, but we won't need that for casual outings. Looks like the next 2 models up price goes up significantly just to have more casting deck, bigger live well. Nice vid.
Thanks and your right on models up and significant price increase as well. These boats are very popular at although inflation and materials costs are making everything more expensive, the relative price point still makes this boat a great deal!
Just got our 2022 model just shy of 18k to late in season for testing it but its awesome
Great Video, thank you! For your 2nd transducer, did you mount it on the same side on the rear? Pics?
Hello I watched your video, good job on your boat..I'm going to throw you 2 tips. Before you buy power poles just get you a spot lock trolling moter..other tip put you a bounce buster on that trolling mother or the bracket won't last..don't ask me how I know..great job on the video...
Thanks Randy! Appreciate the tips and thanks for watching.
Where does your recessed tray drain end go? I’m installing same tray and there is so much foam I’m concerned the water won’t drain to bilge
Looks great.
Thanks! Love this rig.
Do you have a video of installing the 7” Garmin on the console. I’m getting ready to do mine and would like any help I can get.
Also had no idea that there was a separate wire up front until you mentioned it. Found it when I cut the hole. I had spliced into the trolling motor wire🙄. I went with a single hatch cover on my extension and would like to add a pneumatic piston to help it stay open. Any suggestions?
You can find most anything on Amazon but make sure to measure how high you want your hatch to come up and where you want to position it. I find I gravitate to one side of the deck more than others when I’m getting in and out of hatches. Just something to think about when you decide where to mount the piston. Glad you found your wires up front!
Hey Ronnie. Great job on the review of your boat! Very thorough and precise.
Can you help me out and post the amazon link to the Led Lights on your gunnels, and the ones on your seats please. Thanks in advance sir.
You bet! Give me until tomorrow and I will get you some info. Thanks for watching and “Hook’em Up!”
Awesome looking boat! I'm picking up mine on Monday, black 2021 Classic XL. I missed out on the low prices, but you know how it is... supply and demand. Also, up here in Maine (not a Yankee, I was transferred here) everything is selling quickly. I opted for a Garmin 63cv to replace the Lowrance. I like how you did the deck extension. I'm thinking I'll do the same thing, but I'm going to keep the rod holders. I'm subscribed to your channel!
Thanks very much. Let me know how the mods come along and if I can help with any information let me know.
Awesome that your getting your boat. You will absolutely love it! Like your thoughts on the Garmin. Looking to upgrade some more electronics this winter!
@@RCBassin I got my boat! Now I need some tackle.
@@fredbunkley5604 if your interested, I would recommend MonsterBass to kickstart your tackle. Full transparency I am affiliated with them but I can give you a link and you should get a discount on your first order.
@@RCBassin send it! That will be great. Thanks!
Great video. One question, can you step on your storage covers on the extension?
Absolutely. Very sturdy lids.
Just installed my recessed foot pedal thanks to your video. What is your suggestions in improving the livewell? I've been using a battery operated aerator.
Yes that’s one of the things I do. There is a couple other things you can do as well that I will cover in another video soon.
Greg Brown did you check out my vid on livewell management?
What did you use to frame out your front deck the use wood or aluminum thanks ahead of time and enjoyed your video
I actually used pine 2x4s. I painted them to protect the wood and it's actually still light but sturdy. I didn't lose any top end speed and I can take the entire decking off with 8 screws and lift it right out of the boat.
We are getting ready to by. 2021 classic xl. The reviews were not real positive and many listed leaking, one guy nearly sunk. Have you had any issues or concerns about the quality of the tracker? We are new to boats. Is there anything you do when buying a new boat to check for loose bolts/hoses, etc before putting it in the water? Thanks for any info you can provide. Love the video and the upgrades.
I have never had any issues with my boat. No water leaks and when I purchased mine it was 2019 and my boat is a 2020. I did find some metal shavings in the hull and I used a shop vac and got those out but nothing big. My best advice - take your time especially when you take delivery. Ask lots of questions and look at everything very close. If something doesn't look right - it's probably not!
Does the boat hit the spare tire when launching or doing the recovery? Please let me know? Thanks.
Nope not at all. Clears it every time.
@@RCBassin thanks for the response. Just got my Tracker and the spare tire as well. Will begin to mount the tire next.
Dan The Man Ripon Ca, Black 2021 Tracker Classic XL 50 HP ( Get'n Fishy ) Nice casting deck addition !! I like the simplistic little step too :-) ,,,,are your deck storages a container drop in set up ,, or is it just a framed lid with latches you installed ??? also do you happen to have the info for the spare tire you got off amazon ?? been running without a spare for a yr.......when it was being prep'd I had BPS replace the dash graph and added a ram mounted 7'' split shot where the 4'' was .no extra holes.... so I just swing out the graph when fishing and tuck back behind the windshield when traveling ... later I put the 4'' up front ..I had no idea there was already extra wires ran up front until about 2 months ago when i started watching deck extension / Tracker Classic XL upgrades ... I ran a low voltage wire back to the battery and tucked under the side rail so its not seen and from the side at the front rail to the graph along that front incline edge i used tiny wire clamps so everything looks as clean as possible,, ,,,,what materials did you make your extension out of ?? I've seen both alum & wood frame work on here /... I've also seen a couple of trolling motor foot peddle drop ins installed ,, but Im like EEEEEEEE cutting into my first ever brand new beautiful boat is i don't want to screw things up and regret it .. ( i''m just a weekday warrior & dont' fish tournaments) so my thoughts are do I really need the BIG BULKY 45lb edge peddle out of the way ... # SCAREDY CAT LoL LoL ... one thing i am doing now is -- just purchased this off amazon after watching a 16 gallon live well conversion video ... Is installing in the dash an aerator timer switch 😎 from Leisure Lectronics Selectable Cycle Time Adjustable Livewell Timer Aerator Pump 12V Switch $39.95 no more forgetting to freshen up the Live Well water 🤠
Lots to unpack here but will definitely circle back to you on each of these😉
@@RCBassin Ya Sorry I tend to carry on a bit .... no worries .. I like to see a bunch of different ideas before I dive into the deep end ...I know the Tracker was cheap but YA NO spare tire REALLY.. . and I've has a few fish die so the time is a simple in dash fix.. Thanks ..
@@djradrs199 No problem brother. I love to talk all things fishing! I was actually in the middle of editing some new content for the channel 😁
So was there a discount on the price for Black Friday?
The price in Nov 2019 when I ordered my 2020 was much less than today and included a promo offer of vessel view by Mercury and a gift card from BP shop.
Wow. 10k in 2020! What was the price of the boat if it wasn’t on sale for Black Friday?
Not sure brother. It was at the end of 2019 and it was a 2020 model. I think the going rate back then was $9995 with the 40HP.
Nice video like all modifications you made
Do you have any videos or links to how to make modifications on enlarged deck and recessed foot pedal for trolling motor and how you set up battery charger and added fuel tank
Randy thanks for the comment. I didn’t make any videos along the way but I can certainly go back and create some content for those items. Tight lines my friend and Hook’em up!
Nice rig. Can you post a link for the led lights under the seats and also the lights along the inside rail? Thx

@@RCBassin ill use them for my classic xl thanks alot man I appreciate it.
@@conlee8049 anytime! Hope you enjoy your boat!
Where did you find the carpet at
Lowe’s. Just standard indoor/outdoor grade. Didn’t exactly match but close. You should be able to find it at any Lowe’s in the back on the carpet roll down thingy.
Is your Tracker motor 2021 or 2022?
Great question. Believe it’s a 2021 but will confirm.
did you say you got the boat for 9k??? same boat today is 18k
Got it for 10.5K with the 50 hp, a 400$ bass pro gift card and vessel view. Mine is a 2020 and I just saw a 2022 at Bass Pro for $17.9k
Three thousands dollars higher than the price in their 2021 catalog
Yeah I see that price increase. Not certain but seems every boat (and many more things) have shot up in price.
O go ahead and buy the long anchor your wife will understand. I'm sure she will get over it in a year or 10.
Oh boy @Gary Kelley you would have to clear a spot on the couch my friend!
Thaks sleepy joe biden! These boats are now 18k
It’s unreal the mark up ⬆️ in just a couple years! Check out this video ruclips.net/video/lUmNV1aVQ-4/видео.html
Yea for sure! Luckily i was able to get a 21 model with 50hp 4 stroke w only 4 hours on the whole thing for $12.5k. I'd say i got a good deal considering the condition, spare tire, and extra accessories that came with it. I did have metal shaviings in the back of mine as well that i vacuumed out
@@shooter3288 that’s a killer deal these days. You definitely did 👍 good.
@@RCBassin thanks. Hoping i get many many years of problem free fishing out of the boat & motor
