Tinbox Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 From the spec sheet, the storage length of a Bass Tracker classic is 20'1" but I have seen other website listed as 19'2". I wish is the latter because 20'1 is a bit tight for me to put in my garage. What is the minimum storage length? Thanks, Quote
Loochy88 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I'm interested in the same info. I have a 19'8" garage. I'm looking for ways to shorten the length as much as possible. I noticed that the winch up front can be repositioned. At least I think it can based on the photos I've seen. Moving the winch forward would move the boat forward a few inches (initially it doesnt overhang the front of the trailer). Trimming down and turning the motor would help as well. I know the listed length is trimmed down, but is it also turned? 1 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted April 3, 2019 Global Moderator Posted April 3, 2019 Hey guys, there’s a thread here that is all about the Tracker Heritage and Tracker Classic. I believe they’re the same boat just different badging. Head over there and ask those guys. They’re all helpful and have made some cool mods to their rigs. 1 Quote

That would shorten the total length by roughly 3 inches, however, the sales person says that would put more weigh on the tow vehicle, which is true. I am not sure if it would matter much though.

I can't imagine that 3 inches would be that big if an issue. I dont know how to calculate what a difference 3 inches would make, but it seems insignificant for a 1000 lb boat. Not sure what you're towing with, but tongue weight on a 1500 silverado is aroudn 1000 lbs I believe. Might interfere with your lift gate or place the boat a bit closer to the car, but it shouldn't really matter much. Quote
