That is an awesome build, I love the lighting. Good work to say the least. Shane

I run ring free in every tank and stabil for storage.

Now that's awesome. Nice job.

I am very sorry for you and your family. I have had many dogs over the years and know how they become part of the family and less just a dog.

This may sound stupid, it did to me until it worked. I have a 2011 Triton 19XS and both aerator pumps had a very hard time priming. I called Triton boats and they told me to make sure the hose that feeds the livewells is facing to one side of the boat or the other, basically parallel to the...

Looking good so far. That is an aweful nice looking piece of wood for a transom.

I got quite a bit done on my Tracker V-17 this weekend. I got all the interior pulled out of the boat, all the carpet removed from the aluminum lids and all new wood cut and coated with spar urethane. Now it's time to carpet all the pieces. It will be this weekend before I get the carpet...

If it leaks when you push it down most likely the trim cylinder is bad and at least needs resealed.

I've owned outboards for 25 years and in the smaller class outboards they are all decent. You shouldn't have a problem with any of them. In the bigger horsepower I only buy Yamaha. After blowing up 2 optimax 200 hp engines I gave up on Mercury. I would look at parts availability in your...

Pappy speaks the truth. As for the overheat, I would start with a thermostat. Cleaning it will do no good, it needs to be replaced. You can put it in boiling water and see i it opens but for no more than they cost I would just replace it.

Thats awesome. There are a lot of good people still out there.

Thanks you guys have been a lot of help. It looks like a lot of work but I got the boat cheap. I will get some pictures of how ugly it is now and share with you.

I'm not really modifying the boat it came out factory with all the decking. The compartment lids are all aluminum and the floor and decks are 3/4" plywood. I bought the boat from a buddy that let it sit outside and go to heck. So I am just going to put it back the way it is. I assume carpet...

What is A/C plywood? Or what does the A/C stand for? How thin do you make it? Thanks again Shane

Hi guys I'm new here and have a question. I just bought a Tracker tournament v-17 that needs the wood and carpet replaced. I understand you cannot use treated wood so do you use the marine plywood? Do you order online or try to order it from a local dealer? Thanks in advance. Shane
