Max HP rating is 25 on the 1448.

That 1448 Grizzly is a heavy boat for its size. Even if motor is set properly I could see it struggling to get on plane. I have a 1648 Grizzly with a Merc 60/40 jet. I am running around 29-30 mph by myself and 25mph with another person. I do have my cranking battery and two trolling motor...

Had the boat out a few times now. Had it up to right at 30 mph according to my phone GPS. Think I can get a little more out of it with some fine tuning. Added a set of oars I had by making some oar blocks out of UHMW that fit into the versatrack. The boat rows surprisingly well. I am going...

Just about there. A few odds and ends to wrap up and then I should have it on the water.

Finally made some progress on the boat. Mounted the battery trays/batteries, wired in the trolling motor plug, and ran power under the floor to the stern of the boat. I also decided to try out the TH Micro Hydraulic jackplate. I've heard some mixed things on jackplates with jets, but everyone...

I actually did know that about the channel, and plan to utilize it for my main wiring. This boat will be used for bass and steelhead primarily. I’m still figuring out exactly what trolling motor I’m going to run, and i plan to run to cheap graph of some sort also.

That's already on the list! I'm planning to do either a fold down one, or one that is easily removable. I'm considering something that will bolt into the versatrack on the boat. Possibly something like this.

I don't plan on mounting any kind of driver's seat, I plan to stand while running. I am doing a 24v Minn Kota and I will be running all three batteries up front to help with weight distribution. The stock seat base they put on the Grizzly isn't ideal for any tiller motor if you ask me.

I'll be running through the fall and into Winter. Prime Steelhead season up here!

Hey guys, I've been a lurker here a while but figured I'd share my new boat build. I got a very good deal on a lightly used 60/40 Mercury Fourstroke Jet, and I'm pairing it with a 1648 Tracker Grizzly. I'm upgrading to the big tiller kit on the motor with RPM adjustment, along with some other...

Litter is a problem at pretty much every public fishing spot unfortunately. I would say add more trash cans, but let's be honest, these people wouldn't use them. I always keep some plastic bags in my boat or backpack so I can pick up whatever I can.

Yeah the weather has been holding me back from getting out. We had a slight warm up, but now the forecast is calling for below zero temps again, with -20 wind chills.

I will fish for just about anything that swims, but October through March its pretty much just steelhead. The video on this one didn't turn out that great, as I had some technical difficulties with my camera mount. Once I get a little better with my Gopro I will be sure to share some videos.

Finally had decent conditions to get the boat out. Hit my local river, went 1 for 3 on steelhead, with the one i landed being a beautiful 11 lb. female. Here are a couple of cool photos from my GoPro.

Pretty much any kind of meat will get them. I have also heard of guys using fish carcasses, cat/dog food, and some guys even make up their own secret recipes. This is a good site for some basic info: https://www.trapperarne.com/faq

Hey Guys! My name is Tyler, I am from SW Michigan. I just discovered the site, but wish I would have a long time ago! This is my current boat: This boat is special to me as it has been in the family a long time. It was purchased new by my Great-Grandfather, and then owned by my Grandfather...
