Hello Everyone!
This is my first post/thread here. I've been lurking for quite a while and figured I'd share my progress and what I've learned here.
3 Weeks ago I picked up an 94 Tracker Tournament Pro 18 from its original owner. Motor is squeaky clean but the rest of the boat was, well dilapidated.
Rotten deck & floor, moldy carpet, silly rigged electrical etc. (See pics however they do no justice to the horror haha)
Deck was so bad I nearly fell through it getting on the boat for the lake test.
She ran well with the owner and myself in it with the speedo reading 40ish. Certainly its a little happy.
I picked up this gem for $1300 which I felt was an OK deal for the hull, 60hp motor, trailer which is in pretty good shape and the humminbird :lol:
Below is my progress and the pics.
How I got her:
Here's how she fits in the garage (For now, once I do some re-arranging it will fit straight in without having the outboard in the closet)
First step was getting the old deck and floor up. It basically came out as wood chips. Wet, slimy wood chips.
More to come.
