2015 Tracker Grizzly 1648-SC -- This boat comes from tracker with a deck, flooring, and side console. Includes trailer. Everything on the boat is camouflage. Including a canopy. There are two outboards, a 2015 Mercury 9.9hb and a 2010 Yamaha F25. Both with power tilt. Both low hours and...

You can also print on water slide decals then clear coat them. https://www.amazon.com/DerBlue-Sheets-Inkjet-Transfer-Transparent/dp/B075V339CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532346483&sr=8-1&keywords=water+slide+decals

I used two fender washers and a 1/4" bolt. Use some sealer. No issues for year for me.

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

Why not just buy one with a deck?

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...

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.

So did you find out why they are a benefit? What was it?

The aluminum ones seem to get loose easier, because the metal bends easier and gets loose. The aluminum ones also gall/seize easier especially when older/slightly corroded. Between getting loose and seizing they can be very difficult to remove the bolt in the future. I'd recommend stainless...

I have to agree with Gary. You aren't providing enough info or close enough pictures. Maybe find someone local to help you in person.

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.

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...

I have the 1648 sc model with a Mercury pro kicker 9.9 and top speed is 6.8 mph by gps. The lake is a block from my house and limited to 9.9.

Tanks going to need a vent.

I had a hatch cover made here too. Real nice work.
