Great video. I liked that it was short and you referenced other videos for a more in-depth at the particulars. Good narration as well. Very helpful for my search to choose a boat. Thank you
Just sold my old 1991 Bass Buggy 18' for a 2019 model with the 60 HP Merc. It is the quietest motor I've owned. 55 pd thrust trolling motor works well and our lake is windy in the mountains so I also use a wind sock from Minn Kota. As a friend always says, "Let the wind be your friend" You can't beat a Tracker boat for cost and reliability.
I bought mine at Walker Marine which is located in Walker MN. They have their own marina on Leech Lake and the salesman takes you out in the new boat to water test it and answer any questions. Their showroom is large and they have a nice inventory to choose from. I have recommended Walker Marine to several people.
I have installed three depth finders on the boat. The first is located in the helm - a Lowrance Hook 5 with GPS maps. The second is a Vexilar FLX-28 located at the front of the boat with the transducer mounted on the MinnKota trolling motor. (Love It!) The third is a inexpensive Lowrance Hook2 - 4x mounted on the rear battery storage compartment for the rear fisherman. (it's just ok) Here is a link to installing the helm mounted depth finder: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KhwUkYGL2FU.html
How’s the changing station thing work that was on the port side next to door?? The part you gave an “F” on lol. I thought that was storage space. I’m supposed to be getting the same boat tomorrow
Mine is way to small for what most people will use it for. It's 55# thrust. On my lake - wind is our trolling motor. We use drift socks to slow our speed and the trolling motor to provide direction. There is a formula that salesmen use to help guide your purchase - Weight of boat (3300#) X 2 = 6600 then divide that by 100 = 66 They say the motor should be 66# or larger for this boat. Makes sense ;)
Prices are all set by Sun Tracker - they differ depending your shipping location. If I had another chance to buy a boat - I would buy the exact same boat but include the windbreak that covers the seating area under the bimini top. I use the boat a lot and fish on rainy days. This top would give me a chance to escape the rain and eat a sandwich.
I know that it is 10 people but I'm not sure about weight - I believe it is approximately 1350# - What does that mean? Does it count the weight of the people/dogs/beer and bait? Does the Coast Guard/DNR/ carry a scale with them to check? Just don't go over 10 people and you'll be fine.
Sorry - my boat is not for sale. However - 2022 models are arriving at dealerships now. While their base prices have significantly increased in the past four years, they have added MANY valuable upgrades that I think are worth it. Larger standard engine, front live well and battery storage Bimini
I installed two external speakers to the boat. I wanted them in a out-of-the way place that sounded good and would be easy to remove without leaving marks. Here is a link to the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0jXZGvKYGS4.html
