I am gettin a boat!
It is a 2006 Bass Tracker Pro Team 170 TX. I am paying for it myself too! It will have a 9.9 outboard, due to motor restrictions. It has a 46 lb thrust TM, in future I will have a 101 Minnkota. It comes with Lowrance x37 Fishfinder on console, with swivel, later in the future, I will have a bow mounted fish finder. Has Takle Storage under seats, and in front deck. 6ft 6in Rod Lockers, 18 gal livewell, 2 fishing seats on the decks. Also was thinking of a Hot Foot I belive they are called, where you can use your foot to control speed? In the distant future. I am so excited and cannot wait to get it, most likely in the next 2 or so weeks we will go get it.

Congratulations PB. sounds like a nice rig. One suggestion, I wouldn't get a Hotfoot if your only running a 9.9. Just my opinion.

9.9 with a hot foot -lmao- no man a hot foot is more of a high powered boats thing. -i anit sure they even make it for a small 9.9 moter. be kinda like hooking up a hand thottle on a gerbils spinning wheel..imo..
nice set up though.. personally i would go with a bigger moter.. by that is just me.. zooker

But if you go with a bigger engine then he's gotta register it which would mean it couldn't be registered in his name I believe!

I went wih tthe small engine because our resiviors have a 9.9 maximum restriciton. They are both substantial bodies of water also, 2,000+ acres each one

No they dont make a hotfoot for a 9.9 and for that matter dont think one for a 50hp. The idea behind the hotfoot os controlling the boat at high speeds and a 17ft tracker with a 50 will run around 31 or 32mph. Great boat though for a first boat. I dont know of any state that if you fish in public waters the boar doesnt have to be registered. Any motored vessle has to have regis. #'s.

any boat powered by anything other than oars must be registered in N.J...you must also have a boat operators license AND new law you must take a boater safety course and carry in your possession a certificate that you have successfully passed a boater safety course...no,the motor does not have to be registered,but our illustrious governor is looking for ways to make up a huge deficit so that may be down the pike.

Is there a waiver for age on the boater safety issue? For hunting in most states that I've hunted, there is a required huters certification, only if you were born after like 1975 or something like that. I haven't had to worry about it due to being so old. In other words are all the pros getting them if they fish a tourney? Or would a out of stater get a ticket for this if he came to town to fish, and didn't have it? Lizards
