Mounted my charger flat on deck level below your original mounting spot.I don't feel it's a bad spot.Was also thinking about putting fuel tank on port side,but I drive boat and Iam 70 lbs heavier than my dad,and being used to knowing how to load a boat with 1000's of lbs of ice and fish I have not noticed any list.boat is very stable.

Minn kota,look on walmart.com it was about $68 last i looked.amazing deal usually $150,better jump on it.may even be a $25 rebate.

Just mounted charger in battery compartment on port side as far forward as i could get it.Looks like a good spot to me.Drilled holes and used stainless screws.

Took boat out for second trip.oil leak totally fixed,ran like a top and not a drop of oil.so smooth and fast.Ran trolling motor 6 hours and still had 70% battery life left.Love this boat so much,don't know how I lived this long without it.First foot control trolling motor,but getting the hang of it,so much easier fishing into the wind.Water was high and 47 degrees,but I caught 3 on a jig and rage craw.She's no longer a virgin.First of many.Did I mention I LOVE MY BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see how boat is put together without having to tear it apart myself.Love the video's,can't wait for more.awesome job.

What are youre thoughts on sinking the footpedal.Only operated mine 5 minutes,and was thinking it might be a really good idea.thanks for all the good info and pics.

Found a minn kota 2 bank charger on walmart.com for $68.actually when i first found it,it was $55 so i bought one then the price changed.Good price and minn kota chargers seem to have the best reviews.

They ran motor for about a minute or 2,must not have been enough to notice anything.good news is still had over 2 quarts oil left so should not have done any damage.feels amazing having boat back and problem identified/solved.now just waiting for better weather to go fishing.real pressure is on for my dad,son,and me for the distinction of first bass to be landed on new boat,can only happen once.

Going to pick my boat up.One of the bolts for the fuel pump was backed almost all the way out causing bad oil leak.Just a freak thing I guess.hope you all have better luck.

I have been a commercial fisherman for 23 years on a 58 foot boat so I don't consider myself a noob.Boat safety, maintenence,etc..,is my life.I have an experienced ear for listening to my engine.Have broke in cummins marine diesel's amongst others,most of my life has been spent on a boat.guess what Iam trying to say is this was not any user error.New outboards should not leak oil, period.

Dropped boat off yesterday,hopefully they get to it quick.had it 3 days now its gone kinda sucks but that's life I guess.Hope no one else has problems.Still, love my boat that's why I want it back so bad.

I put mine next to drivers seat,you can put it way up in the console.best place i found,only place i found that was long enough.

never got any alarm,checked oil fill cap,etc..,and yes too much oil to tell anything.

Just took boat out for break in,followed instructions to a T.tied back up to dock ,noticed oil slick,pulled boat out and could see oil oozing out.thought it was lower unit then popped top off engine and could see oil around,checked oil was almost out.super bummed.not trying to scare anyone.best day ever turned upside down.boat performed awesome to,halls some serious butt and rides beautifully.just hope they honor warranty and i didnt do to much damage.was looking forward to first day of fishing now i just dont know how to feel.

tracker dealer yesterday told me I could leave footpedal for trolling motor loose or screw it down wherever i wanted.Your dealer must be full of it.

Just got home with boat,love it.no pics yet.over 2 hour drive home and cover worked beautifully stayed tight ,no flap.bought bps mercury motor cover,looks sharp same color,fabric and white logo,also works great.got home right at dark so could'nt go through and get pics.just glad to have it home.to everyone still waiting hang in there it will all become real soon.So worth the wait.mine was first heritage delivered in oregon.

Just got "THE CALL" today.leaving on crab trip so cant pick it up till friday.almost a reality.cant believe its happening.

Cool,now I just have to hope it fits a full size spare.

Already bought spare tire,but have been looking at different carriers to mount it.Then I noticed in a couple of pics of boat and trailer that there is a small rack on starboard side of trailer,maybe to hold spare?you can see it on heritageboat.com slide 30

I ordered Jan.4,and i called her,was tired of waiting for any news.

Just talked to my dealer,and she told me my boat is load eligible and will be here next week!My wait is almost over!

when did you order?

anyone else get a shirt, i have not.

congrats,Im moving up from 12ft sea nymph with a 4hp evinrude.know where you're coming from.

Do you at least get cover when you pick up boat.
