Dyna Trac Crappie Boat?

Has anyone ever fished out of one of the old dyna trac's crappie boats made on the old Bomber patterns. I'm looking at a 99 year model, 16
ft 10 inch fiberglass with a 99 yr model evinrude fuel injected, 90 h.p.. It has about 150 hrs, transom is in great shape and I could'nt find any rot on the deck or console. I took motor toter off and stood on the motor with it up and transom did not give any. Seats didn't have any rot or cracks. Will need updated trolling motor and electronics. Can't buy them any more. Are they good for spider rigging and are they good in rough water. Please respond.

One of the best spider rigging boat Ive ever fished out of!!

Did it handle rough water good?

Yes it did a friend of mine still has it it was his boat he bought it new. Love the way you sit down in it on windy days

Post a pic of one. I never even heard of them, I live a sheltered life.

A friend that bass fishes use to own one in the 90's said it was the best boat he ever owned.

Never seen the crappie boat but the bass hulls are tough as nails. In fact I have a neighbor who just got rid of a 19 ft Ranger and bought a older Dyna Trac cause he likes the way they handle better.

I've never heard a bad word about the Dyna-Trac. Only those neglected and left outside had anything to comment on, and I would expect that.

looks like a solid boat. ive seen a few around here on the waters. this is a pic of a 89 model from a google search..

I don't have one right now, but I'm looking at the boat again tomorrow and if it's possible I will try to get one and post it. I don't know a whole lot about them except for a friend who fishes out of one say's it's the best boat for crappie fishing that he has been in. I hope some more people with more knowledge chimes in and gives me more info. Thanks to everyone that's posted so far. I hope to get more responses.

From the pics found they look good.

Use to have one when I bass fished it was a 18 footer and it was one fine ride

I have had 2 of them An early 90s and a 2005 great boat wish they still made them . Don

Don how did they handle rough water and would you possibly know the weight of them.

Do any of you guys ever see any of these for sale. I was also wondering if the 1999 90 h.p. evinrude was a good motor. Thanks in advance.

My brother had a earlier 90's Dyna Trak. He had nothing but problems with it. Stress cracks in the bottom of the hull. These never were right after being fixed. It was brand spanking new too. Leaked water from the got go. My uncle bought the exact same boat but SC and 19'. That thing was the wettest boat I have ever been in. That's just my .02.

You can't beat the Early Evenrude.

This one your talking about is the first Crappie Dyna I have ever heard of. That Rude is a good motor. See a Dyna Trac for sale every once in awhile on BassBoatcentral or on craigslist but not often. Best thing is take it out and run it before you buy. Preferably in rough water.

Bought new and 99 and still looks pretty close to it. Does just fine in rough water. Wouldn't trade this boat for anything (except maybe a new Ranger lol) This is the only pic I had on my phone but if you would like I could post more pics later

Mine took on rough water well. They are pretty heavy. Don

I Would really like to see some more pics if it's not to much trouble, especially the front. What size motor are you running and how good does it handle it. Thanks in advance.

Does the shortness of the boat hinder you or is it a help. The guy wants 7500.00 for a 99 dyna-trak with a 99 evinrude, is that to much. It seems to be in real good shape at the transom and the console. I stood on the motor with it in the up position with out the motor support and it did not give any.

I had an 18 footer and it was a wonderful boat. It rides good. It is a dry ride that is stable on the water, takes rough water real well. I don't have any pictures. I sold it in 2001. The price he is asking seems high to me. I sold my boat, loaded, for $8500.

Was your boat a dyna-trak also and what all did it have on it.

Anyone got any more input on this boat. I've got to make a decision soon. If anybody knows any more please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Have you been over to Bass Boat Central. May find more info there

You see several bombers and dyna trac boats at Kentucky lake that have been repowered with newer motors. I would think if people are repowering them instead of buying something different that they are good boats. I think aries also made some boats off the same mold.

Thanks for the reply, everyone I talk to tells me it's the best boat they ever used for spider rigging and they felt that it handles rough water really well, even though it's only 16 foot 11 inches long. Where you sit up front (2 seats) is 68 inches wide. I just don't understand how it handles rough water with it only being that long.

I just purchased a Bomber built on the same design as the DynaTrak. I have a couple of friends that have the DynTrak and I have fished out of both of them, as far as I am concerned it is the best crappie fishing boat I have ever fished our of. They are hard to find and I just lucked up on this one, I pick it up Saturday can hardly wait. This one also has the take in take out bass deck.

I have owned 2 of them when I bass fished u will not be sorry a great boat

seems high but I am a geezer that is tight fisted. it is almost 20 years old

Darnell design is the same boat.:highfive
