I got the chris Carson on a 50hp johnson 1973 and they work great, just as advertised, better idle, easy start up, sounds smoother, highly recommend them.Glory to the Lord Jesus
I live in La and I might have caught a smallie and largie hybrid it was brownish orangish and a little bit of green in some spots had a largemouth stripe going down the middle and the smallie stripes on the gills
Forgot to say that this is clearly a labor of love great job I am super impressed and I have restored many many boats but you have taught me a few things already. I have ordered the in floor trolling motor that looks so comfortable.
I noticed that you use the pink corning insulation. Did you do some research on that? Is that acceptable? I have the same bill going on and I am at the insulation point. also, how did you go about bucking the rivets? Did you have two guys with an actual rivet gun?
Tons of guys have used the pink foam. It’s just fine. As for rebucking the rivets I had a buddy help me and we went old school with a body hammer and a dolly.
@@tonymollicafishing OK that’s good to know I will probably get some and cut bats of foam and use 3M 5200 to glue them down. I will stay away from the runners where the water goes to the back. I also want to put some floor vents the little round ones with holes. That was extremely wet in my boat and I took out all the insulation and trashed it.
Great restoration so I hate to bring this up but you gas struts are on upside down. There is oil in the body of the strut to keep the rod lubricated and really the seals. Your struts will last much longer if they pop the loose and flip them over.
How many inch should I get setback for hydraulic jack motor? I was thinking about 4 or 6 inch back since I have 75 hp mariners outboard. Thank for your time.
Looks awsome i redid my 94 xpress 17ft aluminum front deck extension all aluminum re carpeted the boat i put trailer step on to got fulton brand boat buclles realy like them also put a rgb led light kit inside of it deck lights and new carpet decals
Great job on your boat, I had a 1986 tracker I bought in 2002 finally sold it in 2017 I loved my boat caught a lot of fish out it and fish lot of tournaments with it.
Yes I had a 93 tx17 tournament Bought it from the original owner , it was like brand new when I got it, sold it this year and bought a 20ft procraft combo for the family
Thanks for sharing. Great build. Way to repurpose a good boat and make it better. Like your rod pole tunnel. I'm not a fan of rod tubes. With some rod socks you can get a great deal of rods in your boat.
That's a great restoration man, I did one as well on my 16' tiller smoker craft. It's a great feeling being able to use something that you created. Please fix all of that darn wiring though!
Thanks man! And thanks again for all your help, between answering my questions at all times of the day and building out my livewell this build isn’t this good without you.
I am looking at adding the Zilla for Texas rigs. For mainly 3/8 with 10" ol monster zoom worms. But sometimes dropping it down to 1/8 with a 7" ribbon tail. I'm curious what all size weight and worms you think will work good with it. Thanks
