You'll enjoy that rig. I had a 1995 Tracker and won my first bass tournament out of it....of course the 10 pounder I caught sorta helped! By the way, that tournament was on Sam Rayburn and I was the only angler in a tin boat. Just go fishing and spend time learning areas really well. Don't have to run all over the lake. I have since lowered my standards to fiberglass and have ah.....a....well ah....Nitro....but I know it's about to break in half any trip now....lol. Enjoy your rig!

Make sure your 70 isn't over-powering the Coast Guard label, or you will have some trouble with the inspections and Polygraph for tournaments.
Congrats!

You have a 17-year jump on me. I was 52 when I got my first bass boat. Enjoy yourself!

Man I hope I don't have any troubles with coast guard label guidelines. Never even heard that. It had a 60 horse on it so I think it'll b fine. Not 100% on that unles ur jerking my chain. Little green when it comes to those specifics

There should be a capacities sticker. Itll list max load and people as well as a total combined weight. It will also list MAX HP. The rules for most tournaments say you cannot exceed these ratings. https://www.boatus.org/study-guide/boat/capacities/

You can find max hp ratings posted on the boat if you want to check it out. Its commonly found on a little square plate on the right side of the boat. Probably inside the gunnel near the drivers seat. It can be other places, obviously. Also, David is right, no BS.

Thanks to everyone. I'm going to fish it hard! Still looking for some quality used hummingbird graphs. I've only owned a 596di. But really looking for a SI and a bigger di for the front of the boat. Pm if u have for sale. Thanks
