I don’t know about all that, my tracker grizzly 1448 is plenty stable with the sc setup And gets on a plane just fine. Runs about 25 mph. Does have a little bit of porpoising it if not trimmed correctly. I have the starting battery in the rear but the tracking battery further up near the casting...

Huh, didn’t know Lowe made that model. I have the analog of this boat, a 2006 tracker grizzly all welded. With me and one other person that runs great but we can spread the weight out a little bit. But I only weigh around 150 pounds. I love the boat very versatile and the console makes it great...

Fyr: Funny I was at bass pro today and I looked at the 1448mvx hull, and measured it with my arm. Got home and measured mine, u right, my transom is taller. It looks as though the 1448mvx transom is angled down from the rear corners of the stern, sort of tapered. Now I understand the line of...

To fyr4efect: The cav plate is within 1 inch or so to bottom of transom. No, no jack plate or tachometer so I don't know about rpm. I do know that with the 10x8 3 blade prop that came with it, the over rev warning light (or prop slip) was coming on at wot. So I put a 9.5x 9.5 3blade on and the...

20" long shaft model 25 EL. 'L' denotes long shaft from merc. Unfortunately mine is not a PT. :( Mine is stock outfitted from bass pro. I don't think they outfitted that 1448 transom with a short shaft....too deep/ long from motor bracket to bottom of hull (~ 21 inches by my measure)

I have a tracker 1448 sc with a 25 hp merc. **** thing weighs a ton, 157 lbs to be exact. I use a similar version of the cabela motor toter, the saver has a pin that the shaft goes onto a mount installed on the trailer axle/ crossmember. I am a transom saver "believer", it eliminates a lot of...

My 2010 tracker grizzly 1448 side console. 2006 merc 25hp 4 stroke efi. Motor guide 45lb.

Personally I hate them. I never feel secure and feel like I'm hovering above the bench. I tried them on both jons that I've had and never been satisfied. It doesn't help that I've also owned 2 bass boats over time and got spoiled by relatively "plush" seating arrangements. I say get a base mount...

Yes I have these on my 1448sc grizzly. Bought them from a tracker dealer within basspro for $50. Think he charged me only the mild ripoff price lol They're ok for my purpose, but they can loosen up at times if not cranked down every so often.

I agree with the others. I just used about 12 feet of the gray Home Depot ind/out carpet. As others said, 6 foot width. Glued with Roberts 6700. About $60 to do my 1448sc grizzly. Easy to cut, of course not super plush, but IMO ok quality. Ace57
