That boat should make one trip, back to the seller.

Back in the early 60s my Uncle was a foreman at Evinrude. Every summer he would be given a new motor, a small one, a six or 9.9 horsepower to use the entire summer. In Fall he would return it and evaluate how well it ran, noting any problems. He shared it with my Dad, neither of them had to buy...

I keep one on both my pontoon and fishing boats, and have needed it once. In the winter I carry them in my cars.

I have this unit and love the graphics. Raymarine is a long time player in large boat electronics, so they know what they are doing. Great customer service too. A new model , the Element, I think, just came out to replace the Dragonfly.

Very nice job. One question. Why are there two seat sockets so close to each other on the front deck ? Thanks.

Check out Xtreme boats out of Fl. ( careful, there is another builder with the same name ) He has the best selection of Jon boats I’ve ever seen.

I used to think that way. I just bought a new car, it’s smarter than me. So many computers and motherboards and programs. We usually keep our cars ten or more years. I can’t believe that we won’t experience computer malfunctions after the original three year warranty is up. In this case, I...

You wrote the three magic words, “ peace of mind. “ How much does it or doesn’t it matter to you.

Get a can of “Liquid Roller.” Silicone based . After you launch your boat, spray your bunks. After it dries, your boat will come off your bunks like they were rollers. The boat comes on much earlier too. One application lasts quite a while, many launches, before you have to re apply.

I loved the tilt bed trailer that I had years back. At some launchs I could literally luanch my Jon boat without getting my trailer tires wet. It was so much fun watching people's reactions to that. I'd have one now in a minute , if they still made them. I've looked and looked to no avail.

This thread is several months old , but I just needed to comment on this lure. The Whopper Plopper works great for my son and me here in WI. It's become my "go to " top water bait.

Sounds like you did very well. Very good rig, from a reputable person and some extra stuff. Peace of mind is priceless.... you didn't overpay.

Google What is my boat worth. " It will direct you to several sites . Enter the data for the boat you are looking for and they will give you the fair selling price. You can see if the guy is in the ballpark. Let us know

Not sure if they have improved, but if you google tracker boat problems, you could spend all night reading of many issues with Trackers.
