Who here owns a Tracker boat?

[TheScout]

I have a 2005 Targa 17 and I had trouble finding some mounts that I liked. 2005 was before they had the versa track that they have now. My gunnels are very narrow and I didn't really care to go with the "clamp" on style either. I had purchased Big Jon downriggers already and found the best option for me was to go with a cannon mounting track from amazon. The screw holes on the cannon tracks were just narrow enough that I could get them into the gunnels pretty good. I was able to drill completely through the gunnels and run bolts with locking nuts on the underside (with washers) to provide more surface area and a more secure installation. I then purchased the cannon 4" fixed base pedestals that slip in and out of the cannon tracks for easy dis-assembly when I am fishing without downriggers. Plus there is a range of attachments that can be purchased to fit in the tracks, like extra rod holders. The attached picture is the only one I have handy until I can get to the storage unit to take some detailed photos. Hopefully you can get the idea. Let me know if I can help out any other way.
