Took the boat to the lake which was a couple of hundred miles away, the fishing was great and I really like the boat. The only problem was that I lost both hub caps. Has anyone heard of them coming up with a fix for the hub caps? 

The fix is you bend them a little so they are on tight.

Has anyone told Rolland they stopped sales.

The only sure fix is to put them on a shelf in the garage.

My thoughts exactly. I thought it was odd he was pitching the boat when you can no longer order one. And it's not like he shouldn't know, the video was posted on April 19th.

Took mine out for the first time today . Performed very well got the first hour of engine break in done, no surprises.

Great! I hope to get mine out next weekend for the first time finally! 

Has anyone bought a spare prop?  If so same one or stainless?

I was told by the mechanic not to go with stainless to heavy and strong for a 40. If you hit something it won’t bend or break like aluminum and will transfer the damage to the motor.

I'd tend to agree with his thinking.  Only real reason to have SS prop is for increased performance and it's not like a 40 horse is going to scream regardless of how you prop it.  Save the money for tackle.

Alright I'll probably just order the same one then.   I just love to have an extra of almost everything

There is a YouTube video by Mark .. who received new hub caps. One of them were different.  It has some welded piece inside of it.

Wow,  that's a little pricey!   Will you have to purchase the whole 96"?

 

96 " is the width I do believe that stuff has a "grain" if you will, if its run the wrong way it gives the appearance of a slightly different color... By the way the Walnut colored carpet from Cabelas is not the same color..

Sorry i've been busy working on mine. I do not have the part number but you need to talk to the parts guy for Tracker in BPS boat center. He looked it up on his parts list and had it in no time flat. Now they informed me it would be a week or two to get it in. Saying that i ordered mine on March 23rd I called Tracker on April 9th and was informed it is usually a 4 to 6 week delivery on items from Tracker. So i ordered the Walnut from Cabelas to see if it matches I will let you know should be in by this weekend.

 

The Cabela's brown DOES NOT match...lol   its just a hair lighter in color I'm going to use it anyways until my Tracker carpet comes in I'll just staple it down instead of glue for now.  Fish cant tell the difference anyhow...

Old school to "NEW" Old School 

That's a cool comparison! What year is that? Is it a tracker 1?

Cool, I had a tracker I back in the day. Ordered it new and picked it up. Loved that boat, that's why I couldn't believe it when this one came out. I had to get it!

I installed a bow mount trim switch yesterday. I took pictures of the install if anyone is interested

 Make sure to check your boat trailer tire pressure. Mine were really low.

How long after this email did you guys receive your boat?

I got the same email yesterday, it says in the message body 3 to 4 weeks. Well for shipping i would assume that time lenght includes production time .Can't wait to get my boat tired of fishing from the bank.Although the Crappie were biting like crazy yesterday.

 

I would like to see some pics of the mod you did bayou. Why would you want a trim switch on the bow?

I assume to get the motor out if the water if trolling through some shallow water.  I just trim up when I get to my fishing spot.  With the switch on the hi bow I could trim up only when I have to and not every time.
