Well I picked up a 1994 14’ Tracker V-hull two weekends ago. And just picked up a 1990 9.9 Johnson for it yesterday. Looking forward to fixing the pair up.

Found a couple holes and a few leaky rivets. I found a guy here in Valley View that does some really good work. [Linked Image]

Back and forth about putting a full raised deck on the front end. Thinking about putting in a small false floor for the foot control to sit on.
Went ahead and cut a cardboard template to see how it might work.

Those seats are begging to be made into storage compartments.

I thought about doing that. But I’m not sure were to put the flotation.

Lay pool noodles under the floors you laid., sound absorption and flotation in one.

Picked up new shoes for the trailer yesterday. Went just a tad taller and wider. wink[Linked Image]
