Tracker Panfish type boat

[Vagante]

I have owned a G3 stick steer for 5 years.I have also owned 2 High Tide Bug Busters with stick steer.

Thanks everyone for your input. I’ve done much research and narrowing the pack down. Within the next few days I’m going to take a trip to the panhandle of Florida and visit Xtreme And then go to Andalusia marine to look at Alweld and they also have a couple of royal boats. I am looking at a 1654. I think it should give a considerable amount of room and stability versus a 48. If anyone disagrees I’d love to hear from you. Thanks again everyone for their input. It helps much

no carpet , just something to replace down the road is my thoughts
and in the end as they say , its not about the size of the boat
unless you are headed offshore ....

True, I saw a bay boat in a Marti Gras parade last Saturday in Carencro on a triple axle trailer close to 30 feet long. Running four (4) Evinrude 225 hp EFI 4 stoke motors. 1,000 hp to get on in the fish in the Gulf.

I've never met the guys at Andulusia Marine. But they seem to know a lot about panfish/stick steer boats. And I can't wait till I get the phone call from them to tell me boat is ready.

I will defiantly like to see it when you get sounds like an ideal rig.

Just look for a wide,open and a deeper vee to help ride.A custom builder is great because you can get what you want and also what you don't want.

I'm hoping it comes together next weekend. But I haven't got the call yet.

I am just about ready to buy a 1652 Alweld Stick Steer boat. The one concern I have is that the lakes near me are restricted to a 9.9 hp motor. I know that the boat would not get on plane but I think it would push the boat pretty well. I'm 220 lbs and wife is 125 lbs. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks!

Tracker does still make the "TF" model with the option to put 2 seats up front. It's their crappie boat.

I have this boat and really like it.

That boat is fairly light and if your happy with a 9.9 speed now you will be happy with on the new boat. I have the 18x56 remote steer with a 75hp. Last week I had over 900lbs of beer and cornbread in it and it did 30 mph at 4700rpm. I love everything about the boat
