  • This is my 2002 Bass Tracker 175 pro team special edition bass boat that someone gave me because it had been sitting around 10 years outside and was in terrible condition and ready for scrap or maybe parts , he knew i work on and restore boats and anything with a motor ,and was the man to bring this boat back to Glory if anyone could. so please check out and enjoy my video, i even have other videos of this boat on my channel and playlist showing other procedures along the way , also if you enjoy what you see in the video and my quality of work please like and subscribe to the channel as im hoping it will grow , I have other build videos and more boat build videos coming up in the future, along with me and Jasper's other adventures and exploring different places by boat ,car,motorcycle, jet ski etc etc. And you can click on this playlist link to see an amazing super air Nautique g25 wake boat that i did my custom touches on, • SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE G25...

    I bought a tracker III completely stripped it down to bare aluminum . New wiring, foam, new carpet and seats. It’s great for a newly retired man. Great vid, have fun.

    You sure know how to motivate an old guy. Your work and your dad's work too shows a lot of love in what your doing. You guy turned a not-so-fairly good boat into something you want to put on the water. Wow.

    • @Vassmotorsports
      @Vassmotorsports  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you and Thanks for watching, i love putting my dad to work sometimes to keep him busy ,unfortunately covid had him deadly sick for few months so thats why he only in first part of video, hopefully he can start helping with some projects coming up but been to hot outside , ive had the boat out a couple times since i finished it so please check out those videos on my channel and maybe the awesome wake boat i did my custom touches to and made it way better than factory

    Great to see “Attention to Detail” most folks are slouches and always take the easy way out….. Thank you for sharing, I Love the old Trackers built with functional purpose and not leaving out key features so you have to upgrade! “Outrageous!”

    • @Vassmotorsports
      @Vassmotorsports  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really nice restore!!! I’ve seen lots of them were the motors torn up electronics are all shot etc. that was a great score with the motor and trim intact. You do great work👍

    • @Vassmotorsports
      @Vassmotorsports  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you and yes that was the best part about this boat ( and all aluminum) but I've also saved and rescued many pleasure boats with mercruiser v8 and some had no drivetrain at all and I know those boats like back of my hand lol. And grew up building chevy motors. Really don't know much about outboards

    • @gillgetter3004
      @gillgetter3004 ปีที่แล้ว

      Outboards are simple engines but can be tricky to tune etc. I’ve rebuilt a couple small outboards parts can be hard to get!

    Looking good 👍. I have a 2006 18.1 All Fish Coastal series, it has the 90 2 stroke. It will run 51 mph by myself, 47 mph two people. It has the vinyl on the floors. It’s in great shape, I've kept it until shelter since I bought it new. They're really great boats. It even has the original seats in it.

    • @Vassmotorsports
      @Vassmotorsports  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is awesome, glad to hear someone taking care of their boat , it'll look great for so many years when taken care of, I only had this one out once and speedo line was clogged and didn't have the GPS yet so not sure what the speed is. I was guessing low 30's but maybe im wrong hoping it's faster than I think , I'm about to install lower unit seals and should have back on water soon as im in Florida right now with it , so check out the up coming videos and we will see how fast she is lol

    Wow! Man... that is one of the best transformations I have ever seen on a boat. Always loved a Bass Boat. Grew up with Salt And Fresh Water boats and motors of all sorts, and we always loved Bass Boats. y Grandpa was a Dealer Exec for Johnson Outboards.... 70s and 80s. We always had all kinds of boats, and we loved Bass Boats. This one has made an unbelievable transformation! It's way better than it was when it was new! I especially liked what you did with the console and the Motor. Wow. Unbelievable! I want to take on a project like this in a couple years.... Liked and Subbed!

    That an awesome job. Like you, I'm a perfectionist and as a perfectionist I noticed that the elevated seat on the back deck, well the plate on the bottom of the seat looks backwards. Could be wrong but check that. Seat should lean slightly backwards when correctly installed. The front looked correct. Love your work!

      Thanks and ill double check but I think the plate is same all around, I even painted them black as they were dirty old silver but they were same when off and painted. Must just be the way im on little hill and on trailer. Boat sits flat on water

      @@Vassmotorsports , if you set the plate on a table with the pin sticking up, look really close and you can see the pin is not straight. It's slightly angled. Correctly mounted the pin will angle toward the back of the seat. This makes the seat very slightly angled back.

    Now she's beautiful!! How can promise people let a nice little boat or any boat go like that. Everyone is looking for a deal on a bigger boat, their 1st boat, or a bass boat. I have my 2023 Oldtown Autopilot 120, with the Minnkota motor up front, and I run a 2.5 Suzuki on my stern. That's a 5k kayak. But it's more like a one man Fishing machine. Not to mention all my add-ons, accessories, electronics. And I could've purchased a bass boat, but that's just not how I personally fish. We all enjoy our hobbies differently. Great video my friend. 💯 🌊 🎣

I watched Jeep videos for a while and next thing I know, I had 3 old carcasses and I was welding and grinding away! I never got one to run, but I passed them on to the next guy. Now, I’m searching Marketplace for an old boat! 😂
