17' Bass Tracker Build

[chazrull]

Good job on the console. I have a question for you. The ONYX product i've seen is pretty rough textured, but looking at your console pics its looks fairly smooth. Are there different versions of this product?

It's a little bumpy for grip but its smooth. I'm pretty sure there is only 1 version.

Getting close. I'm going to run out of carpet (25' wasn't enough to do all the doors as well). I am ordering some more today and if it's anything like last time I should have it in just a few days. Hoping bassboatseats.com comes through again, I want to be on the water this weekend.

blue tape in the photos is just to remind me what side the doors latch on

I have been watching these mods for a long time. I am doing my boat, and can't decide on the whether or not to put carpet in or not. Did you like the carpet before, why did you chose carpet again?

 

[hookedontronics]

carpet is definitely the way to go with a bass tracker. the way the boat is assembled is all aluminum riveted together and the carpet hides all the seams when installed. it also feels great on your feet .

Tight work looks real good,
That’s a great hull rides great good platform to start with.

I’m right there with you on the hot weather,

It’s been slowing the progress of my build as well. I’m just going to work at a leisurely pace. As long as it’s done by the end of September beginning of October I’m ok with that. The fishing really starts to pick up big time starting about that time. :mrgreen:

2 layers of marine grade 5/8" decking is now down.

Plug for the trolling motor. I made a quick bracket to hold it under the deck where the 8" round screw cap is located. I put an led light in there as well.
