Tracker 1754 CC, completed!

[Pete D.]

Well guys,

Another project has come and gone. Life comes at ya fast and I got tired of the upkeep/cleaning/costs with a larger fiberglass boat. I loved it for certain things, and hated it for others. I wound up selling my big girl so I could fund some projects I had around the house, and kept a few grand for this project. I have about 80hrs. into it a couple grand. All in all it turned out to be a great, reliable rig. It's an all welded 1754 tracker grizzly. There is no wood in the boat at all. The lil 50hp 2 cylinder on the back pushed me and one other, with full gear and bait tank to 30mph. And to top it off, my first fish on the boat was well over 60lbs. Anyways, I just thought I would share the progress from bass boat SC to catfish/striper CC.



P.S. carpet is for bedrooms, not boats!!

That's for sure. Great looking boat, built for a PURPOSE.

Thanks fellas!! I may keep her for a while. She has a pretty delicate deadrise, so she can rough ya up pretty good in a steady chop. She'll do 30 MPH fully loaded with two guys, so I cant complain. We fished 12 hours and were all over the lake on Friday and used 5 gallons of gas!!

shadpuller here is where I was most happy with the console placement. What size bait tank do you have on your jon?

Pete, I have a 30 gallon SBT. I also have a 20 gallon home made system. With more motor this year, I will probably use the 30 gallon more.
