ok now that i know the diffrence betweenthe models of bass trackers, i wanna find out the specs. is there any place to find out all the specs on older boats. if not does anyone know what the beam is onthe older tx17s from the early 90's late 80's. i know the 175 is like 80+

My 87 TX-17 is 16'4" long and has a 72" beam.

I've looked all over then net and there is absolutely no info out there on the older models and their specs. I believe that they are all the same until they went to the newer all welded hull at which point they widened the beam a bit. Unfortunately I have no idea when they went to the welded hull.

i believe in 98, but thanks that eactly what i wanted to know

My son has a 97 Pro Team 170 and it's rivited, great boat.

I've got Bass Pro Shops catalogs spanning back to 1984.  If you decide on a year I can look it up in the catalog.
