I bought the same year model, and after fishing it for a while decided I needed to do this as well. I've kinda been scared to tackle it, but after watching your video, I'm in! By the way, it looks great and seems as though it serves its purpose for storage and extension.

Yes do it! I was literally frustrated because I could’ve enjoyed my boat that much more for a year but it’s definitely worth it! Good luck would love to see how it turns out !

I see you recessed your trolling motor pedal. Did you have any trouble doing it? Also like the deck extension. I have a heritage, which is the same layout. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed your video. Do you have the measurements of your aluminium frame. I would like to build me one for my bass tracker classic. Again thanks, Billy Booth Booth taxidermy Pensacola, FL.

Glad you enjoyed it. Please make sure you’re subscribed to the channel. In the video at about 5:30 you can see I explain the measurements it all depends on how long you want it to extend. Hope it helps!

Nice job, just finished my plywood project yesterday. Those carpet guys EARN their money! at the beginning of the video what was between your seats? Was that a bench seat?
@reelt.v.27703 жыл бұрын
No it was just the back seat I took the post off and just shoved it down there lol. Probably going to build a box and put it there from what I have left over for day storage. Hit that subscribe button if you haven’t ! Thanks for watching

@@reelt.v.2770 I looked for a fold down bench seat but could not find one. I build a step, put a couple of cup holders in it, and left the front bottom open so I could store my throw cushion under in. I think it will work nicely.

How hard would it be to take out? If I were to sell mine and they didn’t want the extension. Also is there anything for the classic xl yet to mount lights on to like a gunnel track?
@reelt.v.27703 жыл бұрын
Mine I could literally just lift it out if I wanted to sell it pretty simple. I built it with just that in mind. And I’m not too sure on your second question man but I’m sure there is something out there!

Participated in fishing tournament this last weekend, all worked great! And you are correct, plenty of room for it; didn't have to remove buoyant material. I will build the extension this weekend.

@@reelt.v.2770 yeah I get it but if your looking for storage you don’t buy the boat with the least of it and a 170 or 175 is only 75$ difference roughly idk just see a lot of guys adding it when it makes more sense to just buy it looks good anyway good luck keep fishing in a finance situation and I didn’t realize they were flat thought they all had the v hull

Good job bro, thanks for showing all ya did. I am not so good at doors it’s what’s holding my back to start it. And congratulations on the boat we have the 2019 classic best boat we ever had. And we got outs 13K out the door with 500 down it’s a ton cheaper then all the others and the flat bottom we kill it flounder fishing.
