[QUOTE="MonroeBobo, post: 128985, member: 1326"] Hi. I recently got a 1979 16' Bass Tracker. It appears to be the same as yours. It had also been unused for years and neglected. It is currently fishable just very rough around the edges. I plan to fish it the rest of this year and do a makeover in the winter. I have had it on the water only once and had a fouled plug under load. Ran great in the yard with a barrel with water. I believe we have the same motor. IF yours is a 2 cylinder it is most likely a 402 40hp Mercury. I m not sure what the 402 stands for. I guess 40hp 2 cylinder. Keep posting pics> i am interested in what you do with it. I have done a little research for parts, issues, and fixes. Im not a pro like some of these guys but I may be able to give you some useful info. Good Luck Monroe [/QUOTE]
