Thank you. It was alot of work when we did all the work. UT its been a great investment in family time.

That is an awesome boat. I’m currently building a Jon boat and got several ideas. I have to give you mad props sir! Y’all have platinum balls going out on Lake Erie in that though. My wife and I went to Erie camping back in September and the size of the waves almost every day was incredible. It shouldn’t be called a lake it should be a mini ocean. I grew up on the Chesapeake bay and have only seen waves close to that size if a hurricane was coming.

Thank you for the video. Nice looking boat.

Can you please give me the seat offsets on the floor. How did you k ow where the cross beams were? Also what sive wire did you use for the flood light. Tha ks Bob

Thanks for the tour. I have the same boat but not with the fat sides. Let me know what electric jack plate you go with. I run a Yamaha 60/40 hp jet drive on mine. I think it would be a big plus to have. I like the idea of seats in the center floor. Nice job.

Thank you. I think there are a few good jack plate manufacturers out there. I would look at TH marine. I've been very happy with ours.

Great review. Looking to buy A Grizzly 1448 for pan fishing here in VA. Great ideas, thanks a lot.

Nice video. I’ll be saving this video for when I save up to pay cash for the boat I want. I like the 1754. I just wished they put the channels in to wire the boats easier like they do in the 1654 T sportsman. If they built a 1754 like they do the 1654T Sportsman I think they would sell a lot of them.

Many great ideas! Have you had any issues with the seat mounts you put in the floor (ie floor flexing)? I am going to be adding Seadek to an aluminum boat and have been watching videos for suggestions, but your cuts are much cleaner than most. Any tips / suggestions for how to get such nice, clean cuts? Thanks!

Sorry u just saw this comment. I apologize. There is no flexing at all. I've had some larger guys in those seats and you would think they were welded to plate steel.

Is that a short or long shaft outboard motor I have a 2012 grizzly 1448 need to get a motor for it i like how u can rise and lower it.

Nice set up! What are you getting for top speed with that 50hp on the boat?

@PheasantLaneFarm

3 жыл бұрын

I think we've seen 42. It's not propped very aggressive. We csry some heavy loads so we wanted a happy medium of top speed and still getting good hole shots

the long tiller handle and the middle seat location bugs me....I'll have to install a seat plate over a bit so I can operate the tiller (bought a new tracker with 40 merc but it's on order.) How were you able to secure the plate to the seat deck? Just SS screws or some kind of toggle style bolts? Worried the screws will will pull through with enough torque.

@PheasantLaneFarm

I used the largest ss sheet metal screws that fit in the seat base hole. I've tripped over decoys and landed on the seat hard, and been in some rough water with some bigger people in the seats and no issues at all. I do add a dab of 3m marine sealant anytime I put a scre in.

Did you just apply the seadek to the tracker paint? If so is it holding up well? Thanks

@PheasantLaneFarm

3 жыл бұрын

It's holding up great. I rinsed the deck off with some de greaser and it was good to go. Even on the rear pods that are under water half of the time I've had no issues.

I want to add two seat panels in the floor of the boat like you did. I don't want/plan on removing the floor for any reason. I know there is a channel that runs from bow to stern, I have snaked some wires through there already. Will this channel interfere with placement of the seat panels? Thanks

@PheasantLaneFarm

I didn't want to hit that channel so I tried to figure out where it was. I can get you the measurements tomorrow of where I placed mine, as long as they didnt change the design. I used a hole sawmill and heavy sheet metal screws.

when you installed the pedestal seat bases in the deck, did you have to offset any distance to miss the center support beam or is it dead centered? Last thing I need it to core a 2 1/2" hole only to find the pedestal base doesn't fit. Tried to look online for tracker framing plan, but nothing found. Thanks.
