My opinion: since you say you are new to boats, take it to a shop that does this kind of work and at least get an estimate of the cost and concept of how they would do it. You may be putting more...
I ran a 1997 209 TE with a ProMax 225 on it, and it would move when you wanted it to, for sure. You have a great ride there, don't give it away if it doesn't move right away. It took me nearly a year...
To mount my Lowrance HD 10 and sidescan transducers on my BassTracker transom, I went to Lowes and got a piece of that 1"x 4" plastic wood shelf material they sell. Mount that to your transom then...

Never trust your bow to just the winch strap, always have a 'belt-and-suspenders'approach with another strap or a chain. m
ps - as a last resort, run a ratchet strap midships from one side to the...
I had a similar problem with a Lowrance unit. I found there were different depth settings, and that I had it set on the way-deep mode, which made shallow readings difficult. Perhaps your unit has the...

I had a 97 209 single console with a 225 Promax. I don't recall the prop data; I did add a short foil on it that got it up a bit better.
These are heavy boats and once you get them on plane it...
If you have a 'glass boat, you want a bunk that dries out quickly and won't hold water against the hull. Cabelas / BPS sell bunk material if you don't want to go with the synthetic wood mentioned...

How many consoles does it have? I was told my 209 TE was a Tournament Edition since it only had one. m
There's an Alro shop within a two hr drive of me so that will work. thanks! m
Thanks, I'll need to check it out. I was considering using something other than wood decking but hadn't thought that far yet. The 'how to' stuff will be important. thanks again, m
I have a 1978 BassTracker. I rebuilt the decks on it twelve years ago using marine plywood and a treated 2x8 along with some treated 2x2s and 2x4's.
That added quite a bit of weight. I'd like to...

I did mine thru this DYI system and it worked out well.
Buy some small wood dowels and cut them to join the two pieces together when they meet.
Use a...
I had a '97 TE that had a 225 EFI on it, and it moved along just fine. I never got 80 mph out of it, but I never tried, either.
Bigger, heavier boat like that will still have a relatively slow hole...

I just bought one from these folks for my little aluminum boat, seems to be well made. m

The challenge will be to find a safe place for the boat while the trailer is being re-painted.
Be sure and check your bunks, too; might as well replace them if they look soggy. m

I need a new boat cover for my 1978 16 ft BassTracker. I called Attwood and the cover i have now was a special order they did for Cabelas and they no longer stock it.
I found this on Bass Pro:...
On that note, have you checked the hydraulic fluid level?
My 97 209 had a filler hole on top of the steering column. m
Mfg. does not recommend using that on the underside of boats. square 1. m
Thanks for the tip on Durabak, I sent them a message with some questions. This may work, thanks again, m
