Great video Gabe. Tracks are great. And much more beneficial than old school rails. Back in the day that mainly what they used.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

Thanks Dave. Hope you can figure out a good system on your 621 for riggers. Sure hate to cut holes, then find out the install wasn’t the best location.

@@FullQuiverOutdoors took your advice and ran each side of Cannon Cables thru each boot Worked and looks great Much better than drilling all Those huge holes in the gel coat Appreciate your advice

Thanks for the video. I’ve seen this twice and I’m going to mount my 72 inch tracts to my Ranger angler this way. Made me very nervous for downrigers, but it seems like it works.

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

You’ll have no problem with downriggers if you do it this way.

@@FullQuiverOutdoors Thank you!

@@wndzman did you do you angler? I want to do this to mine for a downrigger

[@wndzman]

@@Jman-bq8ov Yes I did, and it was very solid. I still limited myself on ball weight size just because I was nervous.

Do you think this will work with any glass boat? I just got my rails I have a sea swirl 17

[@marksmith3903]

Which track system was used? looking to do something similar

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

This was Berts track but it will work on any track system. This was my buddies’ boat. I installed Cisco track on mine.

[@chadmassingill9888]

Wanting to add tracks to my 04 ranger 620. Do you have any problems with the curvature on top of the gunnel?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

Nope, the track will curve along the gunnel just fine. It’s such a gradual curve that the rod tubes and stuff slide in just fine.

[@Clintsilver94gt]

Whoa when did you upgrade boats!?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

It’s Jason’s boat. I still have my Polar Kraft.

[@jamieweisent4396]

what is the length of #14 ss screws?

[@FullQuiverOutdoors]

They are 1” screws. I think you’d be perfectly fine with 3/4” but they are hard to find.
