    Alleviate my concerns with my Tracker Topper 15, 1542

    I think those boats have to be built better than some of these toppers. Maybe I am making something out of nothing. I am hoping there are a few people with the same boat that can come in. I use it on a lake here in Alabama that can get choppy at times. The boat is in great shape now but it...

    Trailering a bigger Jon Boat

    You don't want to pull a trailer that is loaded heavier to the back than the front. It may be fine at times but can get away from you. How I know you ask... Is was riding in a truck one time with a small amount of top soil on a small trailer. When the guy put the dirt on the trailer it was...

    Alleviate my concerns with my Tracker Topper 15, 1542

    I post some pics the other day of my in the mods/conversions forum and I am just getting around to asking this. I started out with a Lowe 1436 and ran into a good bargain on this Topper 15 with galv trailer, so I bought it I noticed a pretty big difference between the way those boats were...

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    I will do it. I may just replace the to layer of plywood or lay an additional sheet of the right stuff on top, rather than rebuild the whole thing

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    Thanks. I did not. It stays in my garage. I figure I should get years out of it like it is. It took like 20 minutes to build so I will just build another of it comes down to it.

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    Your correct. It was done when I bought it. I am hoping with the carpet between them that it will be seperated to some small degree. One of these days I may swap out the wood that is closest to contacting the boat. Another project for another day.

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    The last thing I got done was the trolling motor bracket. I have looked at all kinds of ideas but I decided to stop wasting time and just build something. Later when the crappie aren't biting I can rebuild it just like I want it. Surprisingly it was very strong and didn't move a bit. May not...

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    After that I decided to install my side imaging unit. It is a hummingbird 598ci si. It does all I need. I am trying to keep the any holes drilled to a minimum and when I do drill, I try to do it out of the way a little so is not as noticeable. I decided to buy an outdoor junction box from...

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    This weekend I tackled a few things I had been putting off. First was the transducer mounting plate. I went by a plastics supplier and the guy had a sample piece of the 1/2" cutting board material. I cut out a 4"x6" piece, applied silicone and screwed through the hull into a small strip of...

    2011 Tracker Topper 1542

    The first thing I did was replace the factory lights with led lights. I rewired the lights using 14 guage orange extension cord using waterproof connectors. Wrapped the high wear areas in flex tube. The lights also have a ground wire that connects back to the truck so I hope all of that...

    Brand new 1648 alumacraft jon boat

    I would use the 20hp. Keep your eyes open for a lightly used motor, and make the change at a later date when you run into the bargain. Keep the $1000 and do something smart with it.

    Does your motor have an air filter?

    Typically it's not dusty on the water. However, in Alabama during the spring, the pollen can be so thick at times it would rival any dusty dirt road. Obviously that is a little exaggerated but the motor has to pull a bunch in when it is running. If there was a way to add a filter to my...
