Bisk1tSnGraV Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Not sure how many of you guys are on face book but am starting a Tracker Heritage Group on Facebook. Not sure how it will do but thought it would be a good place of all like owners to get together and talk as well as this great resource. Just do a search for Tracker Heritage Owners. Quote

I ordered 1/31 and his computer is showing April 18 th as the scheduled date to the store He said their store in Rocklin Ca has 15 on order and Manteca has 30! The demand has been huge. They weren’t told that their first one was supposed to be kept as a store display so they sold it the day it arrived. I originally had mine on order in manteca. I put the order in around December 27-28. They sold their stock boat. I was there to buy one and they said it was sold. We and other looked over their first boat which was sold and being prepped for the buyer. On that morning, it was at least 7 people who ored the boat so I know manteca is that high. I ended up cancelling my order and moving it to a local reseller. I was quoted around the same time frame for delivery. Bass pro was nice and transferred all of my information. I hope they are still on track and I get the boat in a week or 3. The weather is so good now and my wife is looking forward to the boat. I will wait for the surprise call/email and go fishing today in my kayak. I like many check various forums daily to get updates on everyone's status. Any update is a good update. 2 Quote
SeriousBlack Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I can wait. 10 inches of snow yesterday and 15 degrees right now. Good things come to those who wait. 1 Quote

footballcoach Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 FYI the panfish 16 sells $14,395. This heritage boat is a no brainer. Got the call this morning about mine coming in next week. Going to hook my spyder lok rod holders on it day 1! 1 Quote
Andrewmagnum Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I have only ever used a deep v boat. Just curious how stable a boat like this is. I am a bigger guy and worried about stability. Anybody have experience with a boat like this? Quote

Anybody have experience with a boat like this? i have owned 2 boats similar to the tracker. the mod v tracker will be more stable than a v bottom with the same dimensions. generally the v bottom will handle rough water better. 1 Quote

Bisk1tSnGraV Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Hmmm sorry about that everyone … here is the address for it … www.facebook.com/groups/144923976202645/ … maybe that will help. Honestly this is the first group I have started so trying to get the kinks worked out. Let me know if that is any better. Thanks. 10 hours ago, footballcoach said: i actually ordered it 1.5 weeks ago Wow … that is pretty awesome. I am at 4 weeks since I ordered and still no boat on the horizon. LOL. 12 hours ago, Andrewmagnum said: I have only ever used a deep v boat. Just curious how stable a boat like this is. I am a bigger guy and worried about stability. Anybody have experience with a boat like this? I am 6'5" and around 260. I have a friend who has a Pro 170 which is the same hull size as the Heritage. I thought it was nice and stable … granted not as much as my other friends 19' Triton but I am still comfortable on it and so looking forward to fishing off of it opposed to the 11' Bass Tender I have been fishing from the last 5 years. 1 Quote

That's hard to believe, especially with all the advertising they've done for that boat. True or not, this is their out as to why production is slow Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted February 10, 2018 Author Global Moderator Posted February 10, 2018 I've heard that several times but I'd take a shot in the dark and say they're well past that, or easily could be. To be quite honest I'm extremely surprised at the response it's gotten. Quote
EFreyyz Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 On 1/23/18, after calling the Heritage reservation phone number, I discovered a local smaller dealer in Henderson, LA that had three of the Heritage boats on order..two were spoken for, and with a small deposit, I was fortunate to get the third!! I added a matching spare tire (with moon cap and trailer bracket) for $225, and a $350 stainless steel prop (the Heritage comes with an aluminum prop). A few days earlier, I came upon this sweet rig at a BPS in Denham Springs, LA....which is roughly 65 miles from my Lafayette, LA home. Wasn't boat shopping....just visiting the store with a friend, but was smitten with this retro classic as soon as I saw it! Like everyone else, I was also amazed with the $ deal being offered. That BPS had 10 ordered at the time. I grew up with a love for fishing, and have always day dreamed of owning a fishing boat. With two children , I couldn't stop thinking about the good times we could have here on the waters of South Louisiana! I've really enjoyed reading this forum. Thank you all for your fun and informative posts. I am thrilled that my family will be one of the 600 to 2,500, or ? Heritage owners. FYI - after reading about demand and production issues, I decided to reach out to my dealer this week.....according to them, the original mid to late February delivery time is still good. Happy Mardi Gras and Happy Fishing! 2 Quote

Cool, you get the matching spare, moon cap and bracket from BPS? Quote
EFreyyz Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Not from BPS. Ordered boat, spare, and ss prop from Boat City. Sales person so helpful, and told me the spare would be a matching moon capped white rim wheel. Also my new resource for sac-a-lait hot spots! 1 Quote
jaimeastin Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I guy responded to one of my post on YouTube lives in the town that is making the boats. He spoke to someone who works there and passed on some "hear-say". Their goal is to make 40 heritage boats a day. Hopefully I will be getting mine in a week or 3. I had a dream last night that I got it and the welds were bad and the fit and finish was horrible because they rushed the job... Despite all of thatz I was happy and kept the boat, lol! Foce me my boat Quote
