I do not want the bow to fill up with water. I also have a "No Damp" canister under the cover to aid in the removal of trapped moisture.  Just an update. How is everyone else doing?    Nor cal huh I’m in the Same area can’t wait to get my boat if you don’t mind when and where did you order from. The rains finally gone and I’m ready to fish. The bps in San Jose is not very helpful at all they have not called or updated me on the boat. iv called them and the only response I get is scheduled for production it’s been 2 months I would really just like a delivery date even if it is may or June the suspense is Killing me. Anyway keep ur lines tight an I’ll still be bank fishing ripping lips until she comes in. Quote

Ha I took the caps off clean real good and used them at lunch ? on boat for salads !!!! So to whomever is curious ,I love the boat .size is great .so when I went out today I did what manual said to break in motor ,1 hour easy 2 nd hour u can ride 3/4 throttle and every 10 mins open her up  for a minute.So I did in a day hope did right but after that man she was scatting. I went from 120 horseys to 40 and not unhappy. To y’all whose boat is coming soon I do believe you’ll be very happy. It’s bigger than I thought  oh yeah the cover is down right sexy ? 1 Quote
SeriousBlack Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I thought getting the free cover, a free $400.00 gift card, discounts, great price, etc. was a great deal, but chrome salad bowls takes the cake! This boat keeps on giving! I love it! 1 Quote
Tim64 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 This site has been so informative.  I was holding off on the order but pulled the trigger around March 10th.  I am told I will be getting the boat first week of July a few weeks in advance of annual fishing trip.  Hope I don’t get bumped!  Quote

Tim64 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Looking at these posts I will eventually upgrade to 3 batteries so am looking at 3 bank chargers.  Anyone have. Recommendation?  Also where I live many lakes are limited to 10hp so I am thinking I will be swapping 40hp in and out with a 9.9hp.  Anyone see any issue with that?  Any idea how a 9.9 hp will move the boat?   Quote

It will amalyze the batteries and give the most needing the most amps while balanicing the rest. It is all about priorities people,lol! It will of course do battery maintainance charging. I believe charge time is 6-8 hours.   @Fish bait I originally went to BPS in manteca to buy the floor room boat they had instock in Dec 30th... But they sold it to someone else. I put a deposit down... But I decided that I didnt want to drive to manteca or any other BPS and moved my deposit to a local tracker dealer on Jan 10. The delay was due to the local stores being closed for week Christmas/New Year's.  I bought mine from Gone Fishin' Marine in Dixon, CA. It was a good experience. We kept in touch with Email and phone. They understood our eagerness to get information on the boat.

Tim64 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks Jamie, I’ll take a look at the Mariner 20+.  BTW, thanks for your awesome posts!  2 Quote
Tim64 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Did a compare and just picked up the Pro Mariner 20 plus from Amazon.  I’ll try this out on my trolling motor battery this season until the Tracker comes in.  I have been using 20 year old car battery charger, so it is time to upgrade anyway. Quote

StapleNut Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Put the order in beginning of January just waiting. I go to get tackle at bass pro but I know its just to stare at the floor model and bug them about my boat. Now spend my time researching accessories. When im extremely bored I stare at google maps and look at all the places to launch from near me on the delta.    1 Quote

Was there. I still look at the brochure when I am at work and I have the boat. I was doing the same thing before I got the boat. Quote
APC Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I picked mine up yesterday everything looked great, had a very small tear on one of the seat covers from shipping, BPS ordered a brand new one and had it sent to my residence. while doing my paperwork I also ordered five extra feet of carpet to install a deck extension/extra storage. ($16.50 a foot..) I towed my heritage 1 1/2 hours back home hubcaps stayed on no issues with straps I'm very happy with my purchase. new fish finder a must, Bass Pro and Tracker employees at the Bristol location were great to deal with very smooth and painless. 1 Quote

It comes in 96 inch reams so I ordered five feet extra so that's a pretty good chuck...plenty enough to do the deck extension I want to do. The Tracker parts guy at my local BPS actually had to call Tracker boats to figure out where to find the part number to order but he was more than willing to assist. don't use a regular employee at BPS use the shop parts rep from tracker in the service department.  Quote
