    anchors

    But that anchor chain isn't going to roll up on a Deckhand. So it defeats the whole point of having the Deckhand. I'm interested in feed back on the anchor style

    Maximum Outboard Setback

    I have a Tracker 1648 and a 6" setback was like adding 50 pounds (about 20-25% of the motor weight) to the stern. I took it off. When you shift that weight back it changes the center of gravity and the boat significantly squats deeper in the rear. I would assume 11" is twice that. You may...

    Deck question

    For me its a weight issue. Treated wood is heavy. You need the least weight possible. I just went with 1/8 aluminum sheet. For the pedestal -- How far back as you want it. Its more of a support verse comfort level. Pedestal is a lever and magnifies stress.

    Comments regarding a post on re-entry steps/ladders

    It would be nice if your site had more detailed specifications. Measurements, open and closed. Pictures on different boats would be helpful too. I don't want to shell out $170 to see if it fits.

    Tracker Grizzly PPG Paint Code

    I've been using Rust-Oleum 249069 Painter's Touch Multi Purpose Spray Paint, 12-Ounce, Satin Oregano on my tracker grizzly. (Amazon) It is satin but the closest I could find in a rattle can after trying every color I could find. I hit it with some 600 grit and flat clear to dull it out. Not...
