New BP catalog
Got my new bathroom bible today. Just flipped through it earlier and there doesn't look to be a lot of new items. Just a question on their boats. Can you order a boat and downsize the motor?

IMO most of their Tracker series boats come under powered (both outboard & trolling motor), the Nitro series are powered pretty much the same as other 'glass boats. I would imagine if you ORDER a boat it could be rigged anyway you want - as long as it's a Mercury outboard (and nothing wrong with a Merc). Changing a boat already set-up would cost you additional money (labor) which may be ok if adding more HP but I would not spend additional money to reduce HP. I don't know if BPS rigs their boats "in house" but Tracker is not a BPS brand, so if you have a Tracker dealer other than BPS in your area, I'm sure you could get it powered anyway you'd like as most boats come in unrigged.

My favorite lake has a 20hp restriction on it. I understand everyone says go for more hp than comes with a package. At 60 years old I don't care if I go 60 or 70 mph. I wouldn't have enough money for a kicker either.

Ive seen trackers with 15-25 hp so should be able to get Beech fork lake w.va 10 hp restriction so a booming local business in making them 15-18 hp and they fly with light boats,greenbow lake ky had a 6hp.Changed to idle only run what ya brung,idle only.
Makes much better sense to run what ya brung at no wake speed,as restricted hp lakes get those who run fairly fast and create wakes,pretty much what the restriction is for. We have a local lake other side of Paris tn called Garret lake its a run what ya brung,bass boat whatever with a 300 hp even its also no wake idle only and a small lake very small. The tracker has a great many underpowered options,being older myself speed is not the issue as when younger,but do have a 200 hp and hefty boat also like to go to garret lake and idle around.No low hp or kicker needed when dnr does it right.Then nobody flies. |
