Been reading this forum for about a year now and have learned a lot from you guys. The members in this tin forum are the most civil to each other. I hope to contribute at some point.

Very nice looking ride. I'm probably like you in that I don't contribute much but have learned a lot from these fine people here.

I always did like this boat from Tracker. Too bad they stopped making it. For info I was actually trying to post this on the White Tracker Avalanche that was shown 5 or 6 pages earlier. I meant this to go with the picture of the Tracker Avalanche.

I think I'm going to build one. Havent seen any that would fit well on my boat. I just need to build some sides and then I'm going to put my layout blind that I use for field hunting geese up on the front deck. I can fit 3 layout blinds between the front and back deck and one guy can sit down by the console without one so I'm figuring I can hunt 4 no problem but will normally hunt 2 and occasionaly 3.

This will allow me to remove the speedometer and install something like the PRV-15 head unit for some tunes. Took some shots while I wasAttachment 103592Attachment 103593Attachment 103594Attachment 103595Attachment 103596 out.

Your engine is still very new with low hours. It will loosen up and run better. Should wind a little tighter after the first 20-30 hours.:thumb up2:

You need to look into getting a different prop and/or raising your motor up on the transom. Should be running 5500-6000 rpm's.

Wonder if your tach is off a little. With the 2.0:1 gearcase and a 19p prop your theoretical speed at 5200 rpm is 46.7 mph. And thats with 0% prop slip. To get 47 with that prop you would have to be turning at least 5500 rpm.:wink:

I had a 17" Power Tech prop which I didn't like so I sold it, it turned 5700 but was slow only could muster 43.5. In the market for a 18" Raker, hopefully will have full funding by end of month. It was unseasonably cool that morning at 51, plus a good chop and little tail wind :thumb up2: but it was moving so I marked it...:laugh:

Possible I assume, factory tach, also want to get the I command tach which gets the info straight from the EMM as well as other readings like engine hours etc, like your Merc monitor. At $364 just for the unit the prop is first on the list, I command next, who knows maybe, just maybe by then I will be ready for your personal favorite.......JP :nanner: but as of now I'm still on the fence, and I have the wife to contend with, she thinks she knows something. :laugh:

That will be really nice. Nothing like getting that vital info straight from the computer. Factory tachs being a little off is very common. Mine is off 150 rpm compared to smartcraft. I would personally recommend getting the command link first. The more accurate info you have the better you will be able to dial everything in for selecting the right prop.:thumb up2:

Here's my 2014 rig!
