Grizzly Tracker 2072 upgrades

Giving a tour and upgrades on my Grizzly Tracker 2072

[@markroberts3678]

Awesome video. Dude that seat and rod holder is fantastic. Great work. Keep the videos coming.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@geraldqualls7439]

I like the improvements. If you pin bottom of bench seat frame with a rail beside it you can easily take it off very easily

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Great video, looks to me like you need to market those upgrades. I think you would do great! One stop shop

[@jeSuperfly]

I really like your setup. I'm picking my new 2072 up tomorrow from Berkeley outdoors. I'll definitely be borrowing some ideas, especially with the seat/rod rack!

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Nice! Your gonna love it! I got more stuff done I need to post a new video. Are you local around the Summerville/Charleston area?

[@jeSuperfly]

@@kraemersfishing4336 yessir, Summerville. My old boat is an old 12ft Sears that I built to be like a little bass boat. I'm super pumped to have all the new deck space.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

@@jeSuperfly it’s definitely going to be a big upgrade for sure! It will fish three comfortable. We do shrimping, gigging, fishing, scalloping and family swimming days out of it. You will love it. I’m in Summerville also

[@jeffchaffee1235]

@@kraemersfishing4336as per my earlier comment about your upgrades that you did there is a market for them, theres always going to be bass trackers out there. You have something of Value that people need. You have your foot in the door way and that’s a very good start and you have what people need. If I can just bolt it on instead of making it how easy is it for me👍. Just remember you have something of Value here there will always be people for that.

[@ericleightner8991]

Hell yea bout to order mine from there!!! Live in canebay

[@kevinwheatcroft]

I need to get a welding bench/fab station set up like you have. To hell with buying the chinese garbage, especially when a guy can build it himself! Good work bro

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Thanks man I appreciate that! I couldn’t agree with you more

[@Oddinuff]

Nice set up.

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Yes make some fishing videos, we understand family and work that’s first. But I think you have the right temperament for making fishing videos as in your last video’s that I seen. What is your fish of choice, or are you un all species kinda guy? I’m sorry I kinda got carried way here, when time allows go for it you will do great. Thank you for letting me ramble on and I will see you next time

[@kraemersfishing4336]

We do all species of fish. We do salt water, fresh water, shrimping, gigging, limb lining. Prefer shallow water red fishing is our go to. I do need to start marketing the stuff for the boat, I have a lot of people ask about it. I need to make some more videos of some fishing and more boat upgrades I got done. I appreciate the comments. Sorry it took a couple weeks to reply back.

[@alanpetrosky]

What hp motor do you have and how fast could you go?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

I have a Mercury 150 four stroke. The boat will do around 50-52 depending on if I’m loaded heavy or not. I normally run about 4000-4500rpm would be about 35mph or so.

[@jeffreyau1286]

The brench seat that u have it comes with all the hardware and bracket to install it right. Thanks.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Hey Jeffrey, no it doesn’t come with anything to mount it. Seat is from a company called Tempress. The bottom of the seat is hard plastic. I took the gas tank hatch off, screwed the seat to the hatch then installed the hatch back into the boat. I used stainless screws with 5200 marine glue on the screws to help prevent screws from getting loose.

[@billwallenstein3387]

Nice rig

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Thank you!

[@shanethallas8503]

Did you make the black round bar support behind the seat that rod holders are mounted to or did you buy it?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

I made it out of 1/2” schedule 40 pipe. I’m not sure if anybody makes it or not I just had the idea in my head. I still gotta add more rod holders, four is not enough.

[@kustomlook3434]

Is there enough room for you to put the spare tire mount on top of the center rail and mount your tire laying down in the space between the trailer rail and the bottom of the boat? If so the it would be tucked out of the way

[@kraemersfishing4336]

There is enough room, I honestly didn’t even think of putting it there. I already made the mount for the side, I might make one more for when I go on long trips I can carry two spares.

[@kustomlook3434]

@@kraemersfishing4336 sounds like a good idea. Yeah that space was the first thing I noticed, just couldn’t tell for sure from the video how much room there actually was.

[@jeffreyau1286]

I’m planning to get this boat. But I heard alot negative stuff like bad welding , transom fail , leaking….. stuff like that. How’s urs?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

I heard the same things, but I believe it is the older models. I’ve had mine for a little over a year and I have had no issues at all. I run the boat a lot, been in some pretty rough conditions and nothing stands out to me that is bad. My brother has the same boat grizzly 2072 for 7 years now. His has no issues either and everything is still performing great other than normal wear and tear. Taking his boat out so much I ended up buying same one cause I liked the durability. I wouldn’t hesitate at all. Your gonna love the boat

[@jeffreyau1286]

@@kraemersfishing4336 Appreciate. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Pawnthief]

How did you mount the seat? I bought the same seat but there’s no way to mount it.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

On the bottom of the seat there is hard plastic. I took off the gas tank hatch and screwed the seat to the hatch then screwed the hatch back down.

[@slickdog2100]

Is that seat vinyl or cordura? Which material would you recommend?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

The seat is vinyl. Never had a cordura fabric seat. I spay 303 fabric protectant on the vinyl every month or so to keep it conditioned and UV protection. Never had a problem with vinyl.

[@leongopichan4278]

Could the boat take a 200 mercury pro xs

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Max hp boat rated for is 150. Boat does great with a 150 roughly around 50mph with two people and some gear.

[@user-xl9cx3tt6m]

Hi where did you order bench seat?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

I ordered it through a company called Tempress. Very good quality seat.

[@25wsmfan56]

How well does that boat handle rough water?

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Been in some rough water 3-4 foots. Trimmed motor to get bow up and did about 15mph. It was a rough ride but I never felt like the boat couldn’t handle it.

[@hulkhuggett]

@@kraemersfishing4336 Thanks, man. 👍 Good looking boat! I have a Lund Predator. I have a video of it, but I haven't posted anything since I've done all my upgrades. I'll probably post something new once it gets back from getting serviced.

[@kraemersfishing4336]

Nice I’ll have to check it out. You getting yearly service done? I was gonna have my dealer I bought the boat from do mine (warranty purpose), they wanted a little over $500. So I ended up doing it myself just kept the receipts.

[@hulkhuggett]

@@kraemersfishing4336 I'm having my 20hour service done. I brought it to an authorized Merc dealer so it's in the Mercury records nationwide for warranty.
