Bass Tracker tourny V17 repair

[billm_usa1]

That Foam is really preety poor. I replaced mine with 1 liter water bottles (empty of course) These are impervious t gas and oil and won't act like a sponge when wet. They'll be a lot better floatation than that foam ever was.

Since you've got the floor out what about running a piece of 1 1/2" PVC pipe from front to back for a wiring conduit ?

Hi ya Bill,,,haven`tseen you in a while....I`m running wires for sure,,,he wants to up grade to a 24volt trolling motor,,,so we are running 6 ga wire from the rear to the front. Plus running a couple of sets of wires from the concole area to front for future use. well i got that leaky sucker to stop leaking. After I got everything re done,,,new revits and screws,,,I filled her up and let her sit over night,,,NOT 1 LEAK! yeah!!!!!!!...this boat had splits in 2 places where the sides meet the bottom,,,,watch you tracker guys,,,they are bad about splitting around the drain hole for your livewell...and it had 1 bad split in the weld in the front....I got all them fixed,,,,LOL,,,,taking pic`s of it all the way...trackers could make me alot of money....LOL and not replaceing any foam,,,,if it`s going to go down,,,,your in more trouble then to be worrying about the boat,,,let her go,,,mark it with your GPS and use it a for crappie bed. I bet I lightened it up about 100lbs of water logged foam.
