New Lowrance Elite7 HDI... nice upgrade from the piranha max.

Really like these nylon tapping blocks for transducer mounting. Two 1/8 " diameter holes and ss sheet metal screws for attachment. Really saves the transom for hole repair when swapping out fish finders.

Tnriverluver thank you for the speeds and will be considered for the final buying decision. 20 hp seems to be the target motor for me . I do have a 9.8 merc that needs the lower unit rebuilt but is tough for me to pull. I probably will have the unit rebuilt and use it till i purchase a 20hp then...

Found a brand new coleman 5hp 4 stroke at close out for over 33 % off!! I was looking at 30 year old outboards pretty close to that price. I will eventually transfer this motor to my future Gheenoe 13. Still looking for a power plant to push this tracker at least 15 to 20 mph and an electric...

Oars...

Added oar locks and oars for skinny water fishing.

Welcome... I own a tracker 1542 also and love this boat. I am powered only with a 45lb thrust trolling motor and presently shopping for an outboard. I am considering from 6hp to a 20hp. My questions are... are you satisfied with the 15hp and i was wondering if you clocked it yet running full...

oh yeah by the way... great idea moving the lid to the aft bench!

great job so far on the rig. have the same boat as you and was thinking on purchasing a tohatsu 6hp and was wondering if you had gps mph results or any kind of comments on your boats performance and fuel economy. right now i am under electric power only and tops at 3mph. i thought i would be...

tnriverluver glad to see you got some of your sea legs back. I was shocked when i injured my back 6 yrs ago and could not even walk on my mothers pontoon boat on a calm lake.

Professional looking mod... like the bold paint job

well took a long pause on doing anything major, decks etc till hard water season sets in. This si the way im fishing my rig right now. Just a basic setup. my main goal was accomplished with purchasing this rig... i am able to finally say i can now change positions comfortably and be able to walk...

Great job on the boat! I noticed you had a merc. Could you tell me what horsepower and how well it pushes your completed mod?
