Next step is to get an outboard. I just finished rebuilding the trailer so I want to take a break and do some fishing before I get working on the boat! Eventually, I will put a casting platform on the front and add some hatches for storage in the seats.

I think you will be happy with it. It's actually quite a bit bigger than I expected, once I got it into the driveway!

Awesome! I was wondering what you were gonna put on that trailer you redid. Welcome to the tracker family. It looks like you have the built in livewell in the middle seat. Mine does also but im going to cut out the seat and install the livewell right in front of the console so I can keep the same thru hull hole. I haven't been able to find anyone on here that uses the factory livewell and Im not sure how I am gonna set that all up. Anyway sweet boat and good luck with the mods.

Thanks. Yeah, the livewell appears to be pretty useless to me. You can get a bunch of Plano boxes in it! I was thinking I might just buy an aerator and fill it with a bucket. Probably will fill it with ice and beer most of the time!
I bet you could wire and plumb up that livewell to work. It would take a lot of cutting.

Nice Jon, did you happen to have the perfect size trailer?

I knew what size boat I was getting when I went out looking for a used trailer. Bought that one for $300 then rebuilt it to fit the boat.

I like these side bunks, gonna try to do something like that on my trailer. Good luck

You might want to extent your bunks on your trailer about another foot and a half, because once you throw a motor on it, you will have no support on the transom.

Thanks for the advice. After taking that picture I actually moved the winch post and jack forward so there wouldn't be so much overhang at the back. I also have a transom saver for the trailer.
