Full Walk Thru Of My  

Looks really comfortable driving half way standing up hunched over.

Cant believe Bass Pro doesn't team up with Ott and factory produce this boat and call it a Tracker River Rat. I'd dang sure buy one.

Awesome setup! Tracker needs to build a special line of boats built just like this.

I have the 1860 with the new 90 horse Mercury and God I love it so much. Perfect bridge between wanting to go fish in the river, or go out in the gulf during the Cobia run or snapper season.

Nice set up on your jet boat. I really enjoy how you include your family in your videos as well. Good luck for the rest of the season!

I love this boat Ott. Really enjoy your videos of you fishing out of it. Not all of us can afford a 90,000 dollar Nitro Z21, but this is a boat a common guy like me can relate to. Seeing how a champion like you rigs out a boat like this is great to watch. Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes me proud to work on my old tin boat.

Nice boat and setup Ott. Hope get me one someday. Enjoy watching all of your river trips.

What a great boat set up, I have seen a lot of your videos out of that boat, it’s nice how shallow you can get

I’m betting there’s a small fortune in that boat. Really incredible when he said 5” of water 👀😳 ‼️‼️‼️

That tunnel is a great add.

Love river fishing. Awesome boat, very nice.

One of my favorite river boats I see online.

Love the set up I want one thank you 😊

Howdy; Had a tunnel hull back in the early 20's. If memory serves me correctly it was an X-press 1862 I found on ebay. It came with a Honda 90 hung on the back and I just loved it. It was a CC and I managed well with it personal preferences are what they are, right chuckle. Ran mine on the Ohio and Muskingum rivers in Ohio. Donated it to the Red Cross as I couldn't take it to Utah when I moved there. Sure do miss it. It was nice seeing someone else that appreciates a tunnel and what freedom they give ya to go places others shy away from.

I love love love this boat.

Mike Watson is building me a prop tunnel next month. Can’t wait!

Thanks for posting this Ott. All of your river rigs have been amazing, this is more! I really like the center rod box.

Thanks for the tour!!!👊🏻 Nice set up!!! I put the tackle cradle on my boat and love it!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

I had a 1754 Grizzly I put a center console in with a 60/40 jet and yea that haul gripped the water very well

Nice ⛵

+1 for the river rats, @ottdefoe there really is nothing like running skinny. Keeps you on your a game reading the river. It’s awesome to see a pro bass fisherman embracing this other style of fishing. Your Rig looks killer man. I have thought about converting my Lowe roughneck into a side console. Keep up the awesome content sir and good luck in the fishing season.

I love these trackers can’t wait to get one. I plan on getting the 2072 to fish the wabash river 5 minutes from my house in Indiana.

Tracker should build the Ott Defoe models in this boat. Especially for river fisherman. And make it where you can use jet drive or outboard. I would get one in a second!

I had a 16/48 grizzly tracker. 60/40 merc jet 2013 model raised jack plate, no tunnel 3 inches of water all day. No hitting hull

I’ve had center and side console. The center was an alumacraft 16 ft. tunnel hull. That thing would go places my 17ft weldcraft side console won’t. All in all though, I like the side console better. There’s more room.

I agree about the side console. I have a center console and do not like it( no room ,no storage).

Love it, you need to talk BPS/Tracker into offering this rig, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

Dude I’m with ya. I love my big glass boat. But in the heat of the summer I stay on my little pro 16 tracker hitting the small river ways. Takes me back to my raising.

I built the trailer under that boat a couple months ago

That’s cool 😎

I have a Lowe 1760 with a Cc pushing a 115hp jet. Which is 80hp at the jet

Beefy, right down to the trailer.

Hey Ott what’s the total weight including motor and tackle?

I just ordered my 1754sc last week. I got the 75 hp on it, I mainly fish the lakes in my area. The one thing I want on my boat is the front windsheild like yours. Years ago that was an option to get on them. Where did you get yours from? I love watching all your videos on fishing, very informative! I'm from Northern California, not San Francisco northern, I'm talking mt shasta, Oregon border northern California! Keep up the good work! Thanks for any info on a windsheild.

You wouldn’t have a part number for that windshield would you? Been looking to find the right one. I have a 2016 1754SC same as yours with the 60Hp. Love your set up. You should also put a video tag with the 1754SC. Not many videos covering them. Keep up the mods and videos!

Can you take a sharp bend in the river at full throttle without it sliding?

Nice Boat! Ott would your bladed jig trailer video work on swim jigs?

LOL 🤣I had a extra Mega Live !

Where did you find the windshield?

I know that trailer didn’t come with that boat. What brand is it and where did you get it?

I know you're with white river but we need to get you in a BlazerSS

What kind of rims are those please?cant find em anywhere online.

How much money do you think all these modifications costed you?

are float pods with trim tabs a thing, or is it basically a one or the other type choice? basically talking about adding pods to a mod v tin boat

Nice boat you ever fish the Holston in grainger county in it

Top speed?

What made you go with the tandem axle trailer?

How does the Jet like a set back? I’ve always heard it needs to be as close to the boat as possible to save cavitation

How well do the jets operate in small floating debris from rising flood water conditions or hydrilla, duckweed, lily pads, etc ?

Where can i get a adjustable transducer mount like that?

Howd you get the tunnel and 60 jet in a tracker? Neither option listed on the website.

Would a 200hp outboard give an advantage over a 150hp? Ive heard some guys say anything past a 150 may not be worth it due to the amount of water you can move through the jet pump. What are your thoughts on this?

The 80 and 65 jet are the same weight, should have run the 80 and changed the decals ; )

I have a 36v ultrex on my 20ft g3 alunimun boat. In heavy current my trolling motor goes crazy turning left to right back and forth. Does yours do this too?

Do you run a kill switch on the jet boat?

Why no shallow water anchors? Weight?

let me know when you are ready to sell it

HOW MUCH TO GET A BOAT LIKE DEFOES FROM BASS PRO SHOPS

Went to bass pro to order me one and they don’t offer jets. Props simply won’t work for me
