need hep and advice

OK....its time. I have to get a wider boat. My TX17 tracker just isn't wide enough for double riggin. Where, anymore, can a guy commission a builder to build his boat with the amenities specific to that boat. Is that done any more and does it require a first born male child to get it done? If I could find JUST the boat used I'd consider that, but it's always boat, motor, everything already on it. I want to put my NEW Yammie and electronic and TM, new batteries, etc on the new/different boat. I'm finding that hard to to....HELP!! Wannabe where are you when I need you....lol.

Should not be a problem unless you are cutting into the floatation space. Even then you may be able to go "commercial" and get it done.

Check craigslist in sporting goods and boats. I search a 200 mile radius for what I want.

F and F boats in AR can build you a custom aluminum boat

F and F boats in Monticello AR can build you a custom aluminum boat

G...I tried them with a number a fellow here in town had when they built one for him and the number was 'no longer in service'. Thought they may have gone out of business. Ill try to get Montecello info and get a good working number. Thanks...

If you got the money, they got the boat. F&F is sorta famous for building anything you can dream. War eagle, xpress etc can take a standard boat and modify it by a wide margin. Then there's some new kids on the block that I sorta have a crush on, Edge, Havoc etc. All of these would work with you on customization.....$$$$.

Now these are basic metal boats..no carpet,little storage (relative) and you still get the metal boat ride.

The tax 17 you riding is severely pinched in the nose, despite the nice beam at back. Most of the ones above will carry more beam forward, but if you stick on 17 long, you will most likely be limited. 18 is generally the next notch for the wider beams.

Personally, on a budget, I'd be looking for a good duck boat without a motor and a good metal shop to do anything really custom.

I've got the looks and you got the money though.

Wannabe...
