Hey guys,
just picked up a 1548 tracker mod v with a 40hp nissan outboard....for $1500! I feel like a kid on christmas morning! Engine fired right up once we'd tinkered with it, it's a '96 two stroke with a four blade prop. Now, the boat's only rated for a 25hp engine but I'm excited to see what excessive horsepower does to a very light boat, what do you guys think? Any estimates of how fast this rig would run/should run? It's a deep hull (16" transom) so I hope this setup works alright. Do you think it will still troll slow enough?
Can't wait to get out and start stickin some carp![inline image952.jpg][inline image-1.jpg][inline image.jpg]
