I recently bought a tracker grizzly 1648 and will be putting vinyl down as the flooring. I'm also extending the back deck about 2' going toward the bow as well as hatches in the stern where the batteries/gas normally would go. I plan on making a template with craft paper for my cuts but my...

Oh man that's fantastic info, thanks! I had to work longer than I thought this weekend so didn't get around to the motor. That's a huge relief though, I was nervous about the isolator bolts. Funny, I talked myself out of putting batteries in rear more for the ease factor but with your new...

Just found this guy on YouTube. Seems to have found a solution to the isolation bolts. Worth a watch, he mounts it on a grizzly. https://youtu.be/ahXJwvEKMcE

Just looked closer at your pic, I see you went the conduit route yourself.

Thanks killin time! That's what I was wondering. I can't let Fl grader have all the fun, ill try same this weekend. I never thought of reaching up through that storage area either, didn't think I could reach. I'm 5'10" so I'll give it a try. I'm hoping taking that plate off will do the trick...

Thanks for replays. Yes fl grader man my boat is exactly like yours. There's that "plate" on the upper left hand wall of the rail with the for rivets in it. I'll attach pic when I get home but I wonder if I was able to pop that off, if there was enough room to get my hand to any nuts for bolts...

First time boat owner with a question on connecting the trolling motor to the battery. I'm pretty handy with quite a bit but electric is not my thing so i'm real ignorant with this no matter how much I read. The boat is a tracker grizzly mvx. Barebones, nothing in it. I want to bow mount the...

Hi guys, New to the whole scene here. I just purchased a Grizzly 1648 MVX. It will have electric motor only as you can't even have a gas one mounted for the reservoirs around here. I really want a bow mount trolling motor but have a mounting question. On the grizzly, I would not be able to...

Great info thanks! Going to grab the 2" drop one then and I think I should be good. Will call to confirm during the day but I think these answers saved me a return trip. Thanks again

I pick up my first boat/trailer on Saturday and am going to pick up a ball mount and ball for my truck tomorrow. It just dawned on me that I most likely need to know trailer height so I get right mount. Dealer closed now until 9a and I was hoping to go to store before then. I cant find info on...

Yeah my deal got better. Told the guy his price was a bit better but he was twice the distance. Bass pro was going to charge $135 freight and $200 Doc fee. The second dealer was not charging that. All in all the out the door price was a little more than $900 difference. I learned a big...

When I first started looking, Tracker HQ contacted me. I still had their email so I asked them and sent them the email chain. Turns out the MVX is called the MVX on the website but internally it's the AWL for their inventory. The model with the exposed ribs, thinner floor etc no longer exists...

Hey guys, Talked to a dealer Monday about a tracker Grizzly 1648 MVX that I decided on. Said he'd get me full quote. Received it today and it said that they don't have the MVX as of now (which I knew because I was just there) but they'll be getting an AWL shortly snd he could hold with a...

Thanks for all the great info guys! I've decided on the 16' grizzly and expect final quote tomorrow. Basspro has the fishing sale coming up too and I see the motorguide X3 24v 65# motor is $449 after rebate. I have plans to modify boat like some of the threads I've seen. My busy season of...

Great info, thanks guys! Yeah I also have a 20 month old daughter who I'll also try and get into fishing so you guys helped my decision on size in case she catches the bug as well. Question on the motor, I like the idea of bow mounted, pedal operated. Is there a pro/con argument for having...
