I removed all the 1/2" plywood and Styrofoam and replaced it with 3/4" plywood and high density Styrofoam. I re-wired the whole boat, replaced the fuse block, replaced the bilge pump, re-did the live well, installed new freshwater pump, recirculation pump, and 12v aerator, installed a separator in live well for minners, painted the console and replaced all the switches and installed a carbon fiber switch plate, installed two new batteries and a Minn Kota on board charger, made the front upper deck bigger, new carpet throughout, side by side seats on front deck, install a net holder, and Driftmaster rod holders and tip savers.

Nice , good job .

Looks good Gator.......you did a good job!

I bought a BassTracker III just like that brand new in 1984....with a 50 hp Merc. I fished out of it for 22 years.....they are great boats.

looks like you did a good job to me!!!! do you pull cranks?

o and good idea on the live well!!!!!

This is the worst before and after thread evah! How do we know for sure that all your rigging didn't make the boat worse rather than better?

I mean fer all we know when ya started out it was a Ranger z522 with a 250 SHO fer crying' out loud.

Tighten up Gator.

Wannabe...

You might try getting another set of bases for the back deck and use the rod holders you have for pulling cranks.

Nice work Gator. Looks like a crappie machine now.

Very Nice--Glad i'm not having to rebuild any of that stuff. I like your livewell set up--that's way cool.

Looks great man. I like it

Very nice...you did a great job!

it not as nice of a rig as WB's but at least ES aint in my rod box!!!

Get you some of the Driftmaster gun slingers to replace your rod holders and you will catch more fish! They will attach to the bases you already have.

when I get it set up for pullin cranks I will want to use these. that's why I got them. I just a poor boy can't have both...lol

Your doing all right Gator....one step at a time, you will get there. I think you did a great job on the boat remodel.

Good job Gator, been through that before and know how much work it is. Looks like you got everything going your way.
