ok....so, we take out the boat for the first time and the anchor works fine. yesterday, we take boat into cabelas and they add a 3 in 1 cone and then update the software. Take the boat out this morning and anchor mode doesnt do anything. It just beeps 3 times and nothing. I tried calibrating and it wont calibrate. I tried using the remote and the remote only turns the motor but the speed and anchor do not work...lol Using the pedal it does turn normal and speeds work fine. Anyone run into this before? You think this is a software issue maybe?

appreciate it man...ty!

Hola, So we took my dads new bass tracker classic out yesterday and the active target on the HDS live 12 was not working. Bass pro is still waiting for the 3 to 1 cone for the lowarance ghost to come in so it does not have the 3 to 1 yet. Does active target need the 3 to 1 cone in order to work or should it be working without it? Thanks!

Well, he ended up getting the quick release....I would of went with the boat cover but ya...lol.

holy crap! ya, that wouldn't be any good...lol I will let him know. Just wanted to update everyone in case anyone runs into this situation. My dad was told by the Tracker mechanics here that they CAN install the ulterra on the classic tracker XL. They basically said they would pull the old one, fill the mount holes from the old one and put on the new bracket for the ulterra. He is pretty happy about it. He is also getting a Lowrance HDS 9 Live for the front of the boat. I was making fun of him cause the accessories is like 1/2 the price of his boat..lol Side note: The boat cover that comes with the tracker does NOT fit with the ulterra. So, we have to get that figured out now!

lol right? Ya, this is for my pops....he sold his old boat and now he bought a tracker classic and he really wants the ulterra regardless of price....pretty sure mainly for the auto deploy. He is gonna call minn kota tomorrow and check but not seeing vids on youtube makes me think its not possible....all the vids are guys installing a Terrova...which I personally like. But, you have to figure if those guys could put on an ulterra they would? Guess we'll see!

copy that! will do ty

Does anyone know if the minn kota ulterra fit on a tracker classic xl? I cant find any videos or anything on it. I see a lot of the Terrovas but thats it

Thats where I am at right now....I'll believe it when it happens lol Crossing my fingers. I have been driving for roughly 22 years. I am not willing to go the owner operator route due to working for owner operators 90% of my career. I've seen the ups and downs and I am fine being a company driver

oh..lol....I apprciate it. Ya, this is unreal and unreal timing.

lol...I have a bachelors in computer networking and communications and a masters in informations system mangement.....AND....now I'm a truck driver so go figure lol. hahaha...I just want the Ranger

holy crap...you are 100% correct. I just got off a couple phone calls with my loan servicer and its not fake. I was told it could take up to Jan 2024 until I get my refunds and everything is removed from my credit......Still trying to process this to be honest lol... Ummm, this will be my first boat OWNED personally but I've used my dads boat for years and he sold his so I am not new to them.

The email is U.S. Department of Education <noreply@studentaid.gov> LOL...right?

Ok...this cant be a coincidence LOLLLLLL. I'm gonna look into this more but I just received an email from department of education. Apparently my school (devry university) was on a list of 150 schools that have had a class action lawsuit open for years and it just finished? Here is part of the email: You are receiving this letter because you are a member of the class of federal student loan borrowers covered by the recent settlement of the Sweet v. Cardona Pursuant to the Sweet settlement, the Department of Education will do the following: discharge your federal student loan(s) taken out for your enrollment in the DeVry University ("Relevant Federal Student Loan(s)"); provide a refund for any payments made to the Department of Education on your Relevant Federal Student Loan(s), including Relevant Federal Student Loan debt that you previously paid off; and delete the credit report tradeline associated with the discharged loan(s). The discharge of your Relevant Federal Student Loan(s) means that you will no longer owe the debt. You also may receive a refund for prior payments made to the Department on your discharged loan(s) related to DeVry University. lol....this cant be real? no way.

Yep...ummm, my student loans prevents me from getting a loan. I have $93k in student debt for my 2 degrees.

ahhhh ok copy that! tyty

lol ya, no I get. If I could find a woman that had money and allowed me to do the things/hobbies I want to do I would get one lol

the interest rate for me would be 9.99% on the boat usin my cabelas credit card.

Appreciate all the answers!! The outcome is pretty unanimous...lol DONT USE CREDIT CARDS! got it. Just side info....yes, tracker lets you buy boats with a credit card. Something to think about but as of this moment I think I will get my $500 back when the boat comes in and I will work on some things you guys mentioned. Again, REALLLY appreciate the responses!

Hey guys, Thought it would be fun to explain my situation and WHAT WOULD YOU DO? if you were in my situation. So....currently I have $500 down to order a 2023 Bass tracker classic XL (black/50HP/boat cover). The total is coming out to $18,382. I am PLANNING on just purchasing it with credit cards because my debt/income ratio is too high due to student loans so I am 90% sure I cant finance it.... but I am not in money trouble what so ever. I can change my mind when the boat comes in and get my money back, no big deal. My dilemma is...I REALLLY want a Ranger 198P but is way out of my current budget. But it is the boat I truly want. So, I am not sure...I am no finance/money guru....lol Should I wait to someday possibly get the boat I want? Should I settle for the classic? because honestly it would be settling. Should I maybe look for another boat completely? a used one maybe? What would you do? Would love to see some different opinions!

oh wow thats crazy....I didnt even know thats a thing...lol.

Thanks guys. Im looking at the Minn KOta power drive. I REALLY like the ulterra or whatever but its a bit to much I think...lol Appreciate the input!

Hey guys, I wanted to try to get some input from the PNW guys. I am picking up my Bass tracker classic xl in May and I was wondering if I should go with spot lock or power poles? I only have enough to get one or the other. I am doing research right now but thought I'd get some opinions! lol Thanks!

What a day... I went to the lake this morning with my current gear for 3.5hours in the rain. I got a couple bumps but ended not catching anything I go to the store and buy some new gear that was suggested, waited till the late afternoon and I hit up another lake!!! I didnt want to give up...lol I ended up catching 3 in 2.5 hours. No monsters. I caught 1 on a spinner bait and 2 on a black and blue chatterbait. I didnt catch any of them on the retrieve......they all 3 hit as soon as the lures hit the water...lol
