Just picked this beauty up! What to do? Leave it , it’s in great shape. Light remodel? Tracker heritage clone?

I would say if it's in great shape just upgrade the electronics and trolling motor.

Yeah I am going to upgrade all the electronics and wiring do to a critter chewing up some wires. I have to remove some panels to replace the wiring so then I thought maybe I should put some new carpet in it. I’m addicted to rebuilding these things so I’ll prob end up doing more than I need to.
 
Put in a new water pump/impeller kit. Lower unit pressure checked good. Next up is plumbing the Livewell back in, someone unhooked it to use it as storage.
 
Replaced batteries. Put in new bildge and livewell pumps. Installed onboard charger. Took the boat out for a few cruzes, runs well and the old trolling motor seems to work great.

Added CMC trim tilt. I put a switch on the console and one on the transom cap.

This inspired me to get moving on my Tracker III project that I've been dragging my feet on to this point.

I've got a late 80's 60hp for it, so if the 40hp gets it to the upper 20's I'm sure this will get it going faster than I'm comfortable moving a flat bottom boat.

Congrats again on the turnkey find!
 
I sold the boat to my brother so now we both have good trackers to fish from. We upgraded the trolling motor and depth finder.
