TBN.... Great job on this one. I love everything you guys did with this boat. The artwork on the mat was very cool. The LED lighting is SO cool. I really liked the that. The only thing I didn’t care for was the clear sliding live well lid. Although it is a very cool idea, on camera it didn’t seem very strong. I prefer the standard live well lids myself. Again, great job love your ideas.

Ya'll kicked ass on that build...Awesome!!! Great work!!!

My god.....admittedly, I was going thru KZread looking at new bass boat reviews for 2021.....I saw the deck of this boat, and said to myself, "WOW! I must have this bass boat! Who ever or which ever company okayed the deck design for this, is/are genius!" You guys are amazing! SLAMMING the Like Button, whilst ever so gently...tapping the subscribe button...just giving it a little tappy tap...a tap, tap, tap-a-roo!

Very nice work guys. I never figured out why Tracker stopped building this hull design? Between the V18 and the All Fish which I believe were basically the same. They looked just like a fiberglass boat compared to the modern mod v boats. I worked in a car/boat interior restoration company for over 7yrs until they closed years and years ago. I enjoyed it very much building as you have here with aluminum for many things. I gave me so much real life useful experience as well. I built many small boats for friends from simple to extravagant for their jon boats and semi v aluminum boats. I still love my fiberglass bass boats but would have no issues owning a boat like this. Thanks for the upload.

Really enjoyed watching the rebuild. Outstanding job. Keep up the great work!

My first boat was a 2003 Tournament V 18, that boat rode well, handled well. But the compartments would get in them during heavy rain. Workmanship was poor too. I did modifications my self with electronics upgrades. I had it for 10yrs, the boat was great in shallow water on the Potomac River. Great video!!

I have a 2000 v18 i bought over the winter. Been a bit of a project but i hear ya loud and clear on the moisture in the compartments. I keep it covered outside bc i don't have garage space and its always damp in the compartments. Spending alot of time replacing hinges and such but as expected on 20+ year old purchase. I am enjoying the layout and handles well on the water. I fish the upper Potomac, western MD.

Fabulous work. I really admire your boat builds.

Man, can't wait to have a place I can take on a project like this... And hope it turns out half as good!!

Beautiful guys. I love the trim lights

I literally just got a 99 V18 tournament. It's in great shape but shit this makes me wanna rip it up and make some of these changes... when the decks start to go bad this set up would be money. Love the work. Subscribed.

This is awesome!! Just found this channel. I have a 16 fisher aluminum that I would call a bass boat and works great for all I do. This just gave me more motivation to redo it. #tinyboatnation

Well done we have a 1997 bass Tracker ProV17 and an older Crestliner Mirage bowrider might consider doing this as soon as our shop is ready to work in over the winter.

Man I love your videos, great production quality & super cool content!!!... greetings from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Just stumbled across this. I have a newer 2008 version of this same boat with a 115 Optimax. I chose it over a Nitro. I love it and with the right electronic upgrades through the years (Garmin) it competes well in tournaments. I heard they didn’t sell well do to higher price point at the time. Love the hull and front beam design. I need a jack plate though.

Loved this build guys!! Awesome!!!!

The decks you guys do are amazing 👍🏻

Nice job I like those boats and y’all improved it 100%

Unreal!! I’m super new to your channel. Don’t own a boat but you’ve given me hope to one day own something smaller and make it nice! I do wish you put some build costs on these to see what’s realistically possible. Thanks and you’ve got a new sub from me!

Wow ....really.....I can’t believe some people’s motivation....absolutely amazing

You boys do some nice work, fantastic to watch your skills. I've restored 77 boats, about to tackle 78. Keep up the nice work, its a pleasure to see you take pride in your craftsmanship. thanks for taking the time to make these videos, look forward to seeing more of your work.

Think this is my favorite boat you've done. I know you said it's not perfect in a later video but I love it. Wondering if a facelift like this could be done to an older glass 16ft bassboat.

This is amazing. Great to see that you persisted even through all the haters.

I love y’all’s channel! I’ve been following for a couple weeks since my wife and I bought our first boat. A 2008 bass tracker pro crappie 175. It has a rotten floor and needs some wiring but it runs good and gets us out there. I intend to buy some of the materials through your website like the gen x framing and hatch combo kit and some foam flooring. I’ll be relying on your videos because, while I am handy, I’ve never done anything like this and I have limited free time.

Wow....absolutely beautiful. One of the funniest, most gratifying (and hardest) things I ever did was rebuild a big fiberglass fish-n-ski several years ago, and I never took it to this degree. I'm a follower for life. I was curious as to why you went with the turf as opposed to say....the woven vinyl they have out for decks. If you had anything to do over with this project, what would it be??? Also, I noticed some of the storage lids didn't lay flush. Do you know why? Thanks for taking the time to post this, I know first hand the time and energy it takes to do those (properly), not to mention how expensive good cameras are. This was absolutely spectacular, not to mention incredibly inspiring.

Very nice job

This is gonna sound crazy, but for someone like me with an extremely limited budget, I'm wondering if I can add a fishing deck to my old 14 foot fiberglass boat. it's really old, like late 1950s but is super solid and stable,and the hull is shaped very similar to this boat, just smaller.. I might try it just to see if it can be done.. thanks for the inspiration. awesome build, you guys are amazing!!!

I have the Tournament V17. Y'all convinced me on that GatorSkin when I change my carpet out. That looks great, as well at the whole job you did on a great looking rig.

Y'all did an awesome job. Where are you located? I would love to get my boat redone.

I got 1, in March 2020. It had less than 1 hour on it. It is a 2010 hull, with a 2011 merc 150 pro xs. I had to break it in. It was in a garage for 0ver 8 years. I have the build sheet. It has every upgrade available then except fishfinders. It was 34k when bought. I have spent around 2k, water pump, fuel pumps, batteries, trailer tires. It is so stable in rough waters in tournament conditions. My son competes at the high school level. Out of 150 plus boats at any tournament, it is the only TV-18, plus the only one I have seen. Its all business, it’s not a 90k fiberglass boat, but it’s got a lot of storage, and room for two teenagers to fish up front..

Cabin cruser. Fishing boat live about small one only 90000 new

ima big stick is a killer lure

I own a 1984 Tracker v16 foot Pro Guide riveted it was powered with a 50hp Meitner 2 stroke. I got the boat dirt cheep it had been sitting on private lake resort for who knows how long. The carpet was awful so I replaced it as I was replacing the old carpet I noticed it was all aluminum not one piece of wood in the boat ate all somebody had reframed the hole boat and deck and put foam in the bottom that was a big plus because I didn’t have to take all the old factory foam out. I coated the hole bottom of the boat with black Armer truck bed liner and sealed off all The rivets. What’s nice about Black Armer is it’s smooth not ruff and if you sand the bottom with 320 sand paper that stuff is permanent. And will not chip off. I roller painted the sides of the boat with Tractor 🚜 paint too it’s self leveling paint so the sides came out smooth as glass and now I’m looking into replacing the old 50hp with a new 30hp Suzuki four stroke. I also added a bohemia top. I wish I could post you all a photo of my 1984 Tracker Pro Guide. The boat looks brand new except the old 50hp that will soon be replaced.

What are you using to hold down the trolling motor in the stow position?

I have a 17 or 18 foot bass tracker that’s been sitting outside rotting away for years and years it’s a older one than that but seeing this I’m going to probably go and deck it out like this

I’ve enjoyed your work, it all looks great! However, your info on this being the best aluminum boat to compete with glass boats I feel is inaccurate. You need to check out a tracker avalanche! I have one and it was way ahead of its time. Hands down best tracker ever built. In my opinion. Keep doing good work and making awesome videos!

You’re skilled but are the hatches uneven etc? Is this boat for a customer? The turf bubbled up and not laying smooth? I love the look just wondering if it was angles playing tricks or materials not quality. I’ve been looking at sea dek for my bass tracker v17

I'm redoing my 2003 17' bass tracker, I'm having a time removing the old glue from aluminum, what works best for yawl, thanks!!

I live in Minnesota. I have a 16ft aluminum boat made from Lung. I was wondering how much would it be for you guys to have it professionally done?

could you please feature some steering system you have there.. pls add it sometimes in your vidz.. thanks..

I would suggest using an English wheel on your aluminum panels to give it rigidity without adding ribs

You are a wizard!

Wow!

Is this the same hull as the v18 All fish? I always admired the v18 All Fish, the layout of that boat was perfect for the style of crappie trolling that is popular in the north Mississippi lakes that make up the "arc of slabs".

Wondering how much weight was added due to the mods if any?

why not Coosa board instead of plywood for the decking?

Havent seen a 14/48 Allwield done yet !!!

Do you guys work with glass boats? I have a Stratos 176xt - first year they came out (2007). My thoughts are they did not maximize the boat, there could have been a side rod locker that could fit bigger rods, my belief is they could have made the transom stronger to hold a bigger engine (75 hp isn’t enough), and I think the storage could be better.This isn’t a bad little boat, lots of deck space, handles good, and meets most of my needs. I fish a few tournaments each year. I wish I could get to spots quicker and better storage. Just checking to see. Thanks in advance even if you don’t. Keep doing what you are doing! It’s awesome!
