Thats the floor plan I really liked on the older ones. Deeper all the way to the front, not everyone wants a casting deck. I unfortunately sold my Tracker Classic XL cuz my Dad didnt like fishing that high up, went back to a Deep V. Still run older boats cuz liked them simpler and lighter.

This is the best boat I've had. Just right for me.

Yup…..I have a v-hulk set up the same way. Has flooring but no casting deck…….

That’s a good rig. It’s enough speed to be fun and a nice open boat for fishing. You are propped well. You have good acceleration and it gets right up on plane. If you go down in pitch 1 inch you will over rev the engine and lose a little speed. If you go an inch you will actually go a little faster but you will lose that take-off acceleration. I think it’s perfect like it is…..

well worth the work....nice benny

Thanks! More videos in the future on this boat I'm sure.

These trackers boats with a small motor move really good 😊

Look at that baby rip! Good job Benny!

Thanks Tom, I was impressed with this little rig.

just great diy//////back to the Datsun

I would name her “Scooter!” Nice boat, I have a 32 Hatteras and sometimes miss the simple things I also have twin BIg block Chevys and get 1 gallon per mile per engine!! Sluuuurp!

I put my 1991 pro v16 tracker in at the peninsula every week lol. I also have a 40 hp with no power trim. Loaded with 2 men runs a steady 28 mph.

I've always been a Mercury outboard, but I also had an '89 16' Tracker with that same Johnson outboard. That was a strong running little motor. Trimmed up, it would easily run 34 mph.

Nice! when i was 15 this is all i wanted in the world! The prop makes the difference for takeoff --- probably a skiing prop.

Well what prop is it!?

Nice job Benny! The boat came out really nice. I noticed you didn't use the powertrim to get a better top speed. While at speed, trim the motor up. This lifts the front of the boat reducing drag. You might get another 5mph or so. Also set the engine so the cavitation plate above the prop is on plane with the boat bottom. Check your prop to be sure it is cupped along the trailling edge out to the tips. That helps to reduce cavitation and increase speed. I think with these changes you will pick up 8 to 10 mph. Great work! see you on the next one. Dave

Thanks Dave! Appreciate all the info!

I have a 1983 bass tracker classic 16ft and originally had a 40 horse Yamaha and it ran about 34 mph . Since then I completely stripped the boat and replaced all the wood and foam and turned it into a tiller drive. So now the boat doesn't have the console or bench seat or back deck or original livewell and I bought a 40 hp tiller hopefully it hits high 30s

What size prop were you running

Wow that's awesome, I wonder if the spray coming out more on the left is because the prop is turning clockwise, could it be deeper in the water?

@kentuckyyankee

Thanks! The spray was from the depth finder I think.

Wanna but a 1998 Regal LSR 1900 , Volvo 4.3 with upholstery issues ? Otherwise great boat and it's in Kentucky

I like the low floor in that boat I have Crestliner 16 foot with only 20 hp (state lake limits boats to 20hp) but the deck is high I'd rather be lower like that. with one person I can get up to 20 to 22 mph depending on propeller.

@kentuckyyankee

8 ай бұрын

Totally agree with the low floor that's why I got it, I don't like getting up and down from the decks to fish.

Before watching, I will say 28mph, that is what my 40hp Yamaha normally pushes, although I have hit 30

Stainless steel prop will get you about 3 to 5 mph increase in speed. Also burns less fuel at cruise.

@theamerican7080 That's what I was thinking too, I was out deep can't tell how fast I'm moving.

28 MPH.

Trim up a bit and you’ll hit 33/34. Though that would probably mean you’d snap off a batch in your shorts

I can't trim this boat up much at all before is spins out. Never had one like this before.

I guess same top speed as an nc50. 28 mph.

How fast have you gone? Drag boat 80mph scared the white out of me. 65mph bass boat. My old boat went 59.9 my new boat tossing the 50 hp Force overboard got me a mercury 75hp. I am glad you think your a gangster at 31mph
