Thinking of changing to a hydraulic steering in my tracker pro165. Contemplating changing from side console to center. The hyd steering would make the switch easier.
Any thoughts?
Poorthang. As a Louisiana native my self, this is my first boat that floats nose up at rest. I only guess because green fish people fish off the front of the boat most of the time. Catfishing on the river will usually have no one on the bow. Puts the rear further down.
A typical flat...
I have a 2013 tracker pro 165 with a 40 hp merc. It is pretty much stock as far as the boat it's self. I am kicking around the idea of adding pods to the back to get a little shallower. We don't bass fish. We do chase cats bream and crappie. Maybe a trip down south for reds in the next...
Bought a 2013 tracker 165 pro yesterday. The original BP cover is getting thin. Want to get another one.

Got the reel at a thrift store for 15 bucks. Works great. I started looking for a replacement handle (probably fine like it is.)
That led me down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out what model number it is. My google-fu is weak this week. Cant figure it out and now it has become a...
