So I planned to buy a tracker for around 3 grand, but this was too cool to pass up. Its an 18 foot Monark, with an 82 inch beam. Comes with a 1977 75 horse Johnson Stinger. The motor isnt running, but the guy is "pretty sure" it just needs the carbs cleaned. I'll get into that more later... Comes with a trailer in decent shape. All for 1200 (asking). I'm going by tomorrow to look it over, and hopefully talk him down a bit.
As you'll see in the below pics, it has a TON of floor space... more than I'll know what to do with. I'm hoping to be able to move the console forward to allow for a large rear casting deck, but I dont know how its attached or what the story will be with the motor controls.
I'll be building a front casting deck, livewell, and rod locker towards the front, which should take up a bit of space. I'll have to do some imagineering the next few days.
First things first, I have to decide if I want to paint it. I was thinking of steelflexing the bottom in black, and painting the sides gloss red. Problem is, I dont know what to do with the inside. I don't want it camo, and I dont want to drop the big bucks on marine paint for the inside. I tried rustoleum on the interior of my last boat, and it was okay, but not very durable. Any ideas? I'll post up a pic of how I plan to paint the exterior, and we'll go from there. Sorry about the small pics.
So anyways, aren't you guys glad I decided to stick with a tin boat??
