[QUOTE="jparrishbt, post: 386859, member: 15701"] Well I am happy to say I just sealed the deal on a new to me, bass tracker pro 17 1988. Boat is in right condition but it is a starting point. Boat has no motor or trolling motor but I get the trailer and boat, gas tank, and a whole bunch of rotten wood and carpet. My first step is to tear everything out of it. I want to take it to aluminum, replace the wiring, carpet, seats. And put all led cabin lights in it. I am going to have the console line-xed so it looks nice. Next is to find me a motor and controls. I am in Yuma and only a 3 hour drive from phx or San Diego. I have already spotted some 40,s and 50,s. Should I look for a 40 or just stick with 50-70? Trolling motor will be after that. Those are everywhere down here. I just need to look for one. I have never completely restored a boat to this extent so I am super excited. I've seen a couple like the legendary black and yellow bass tracker revival so I have some work ahead of me. Hopefully it turns out nice. Couple questions if anybody would be willing to help out. - should I paint the top like newer trackers or leave stickers. - where is te best place to get carpet and seats? - how much is all this gonna cost me?
