I bought a set from academy sports last week because i couldn't see my trailer backing up without the boat on it. They also guide the boat on well are are sturdy. The out side of it is pvc but the inside is a aluminum shaft. The lights at the stop are just red led running lights with orange led...

Finished the back deck and install the pedestal seat. sorry about all the tools in the pics. Went on the first fishing trip in it today. Everything went well with the boat, caught some speckled trout and black drum. just got done eating them. Most of what be caught was too small to keep but a...

the filters are up to you 2 will not hurt. yes the blue circle is part of the fuel pump and a couple of layers behind it. Only time i have had clicks with the starter is when the the battery terminal wasn't on tight.

in have the same motor but an 84. if you are putting another filter in line just bypass it. my was leaking yesterday but i was able to get it tighten more and it stopped. Just fyi it's very hard to find parts for this motor i had to jump through hoops to find a used carb for it last summer when...

I'm sure once i all the wood decks and stuff it will not be as fast. I don't now what prop i have it is kinda beat up alluman one. i need to get a rpm meter. It only pushed the old fiberglass boat loaded with 2 people and gear at 22mph, but that was a heavy boat with a big windshield.

thanks, it matches too lol. just put the floor down and carpet. i plan to fish sat.

Just took her for her maiden voyage for the amount of time my wife would let me do it, it ran 32mph gps with 2 adults and 2 battery's and gas. Time for floors and seats.

Got the motor put on. Trying to get the controls on now. I hope to have them on tomorrow and put it in the water.

finished the trailer, painted, added new bunks replaced the old ones and put carpet on them. here is before after.

Thanks for the hints. tomorrow i plan to go park the trailer in the middle of a field and spray paint it and redo the bunks. it's very windy here and it will be like this all week but i need to get it done. I'm starting a new job and this will be my last week off for a year.

Gave the old boat away. put the new one on had to move the crank thing (forgot the name) forward. i now need to take the boat back off and paint the trailer. I also need to put the new bunks and carpet on.

I ended up getting the 1540 from Academy none of the 3 stores around me had a 1542 i had them go look at the label on the boat. the store here just opened maybe 4 months ago and only had 2 1540's.

I also ordered this steering console off ebay and order the mini jack from bass pro. https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TH-MARINE-SCM-2-STEERING-CONSOLE-MOUNT-3259-/250785705271?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item3a63fe2d37

Well ended up getting an Alumacraft 1540. tried all 3 stores around here and none had the 1542. I even tried to go back and get the tracker 1542 and both of them where sold today. Now i need to get all my stuff off the old boat and do something with the old hull where i can mod it to work with...

You have modded your boat the way i want mine to be, great thread.

Just called them looks like they have the 40" and the 42". I'm going to go get the 42" Alumacraft

Funny you just wrote that. They just built a academy here and i was looking and saw the 1540 and couldn't find one on the alumacraft website so now i was guessing it is a miss print.

I said i was going to get the tracker but i see academy has the alumacraft that they call 1542 but it is 15x40 and not 42 but is rated for 4 people. Now the tracker is 15x42 but is only rated for 3 people??? both are 775-lb. weight capacity. I'm still leaning towards the tracker but wanted to...

It might have been a person. I took this pic at the original owners house when i bought it. I'm going to go pick the boat up today.

I'm new here i found this site search for info on the 1542 Pretty sure i'm going to pick up a new Tracker 1542 tomorrow. Boat only. I'm going to take everything (fish finder, trolling motor controls)off my old boat and put it on the 1542. Problems i'm going to have is my merc 25 is controls...
