[QUOTE="KevinWI, post: 496697, member: 7422"] Not sure there is anyone left on here that remembers my build (in my signature)..... That boat with my custom livewell served me very well for over a decade.....the motor was bullet proof...I abused it during hunting season...broke ice every year.... but last Spring I finally said goodbye to the old girl.......some of the boards had started to rot....I had left it in the water and couldn't get to it for a month and it essentially got swamped near shore.....made a mess of the electrical and didn't do the boards any favors.....so I sold it to a young kid looking for his first boat......I sold it for about as much as I paid for it a dozen years ago...including the modifications.... Anyway, onwards and upwards....I upgraded and bought a new Tracker Grizzly.....a bit bigger and sturdier boat...much heavier also....I said I was done doing modifications, but I couldn't help myself adding flood lights, full length green LED lighting, 2 Humminbird locators networked, battery charger, Minnkota Terrova with link technology. ... Also put a removable duck blind.....another fun project. The boat is not quite as nimble as my skinnier Alumacraft, which I dearly miss, but it will do as I get older. This year I'm adding a Jack plate to get skinnier in shallow water...motor doesn't kick up like my old two stroke did....another thing I miss. I don't have photo's of the modifications, but did a couple videos if anyone is interested: [MEDIA=youtube]O0TfHq-A5a0[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]b0FuUomU4ww[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]5xTU0a-thqs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
