Question about 2013 Tracker Pro 165?

euroshowoff · July 09, 2016, 03:48:52 PM

Looking at purchasing my second tracker. The pro 165 i'm looking at has red trim, and a motorguide trolling motor. I thought all trolling motors on the later year models came with a minn kota, and i've never seen the red trim? Is this rare, or could it possibly been painted?

Will you be the second or third owner? It's possible the original buyer specified a MG instead.

I will be the second owner. What is MG?

Gotcha.

Would the red have been an option as well?

I don't know if you can see it good enough but it's the only one I could find. My friend has a 2015 BT Pro 175 TXW and it is red. If you look on his right side you can see the red side of the boat.

175 is a great boat and I know they come in red, blue and I believe black.

But I was under the impression that the 165 only came in the black and silver.

Sorry but I wouldn't know about that. Maybe you could call the company and find out.

Every red Tracker that I have seen still has a black rub rail around it. That doesn't appear to have a black rub rail except possibly on the bow.
I guess because of that I'm wondering also if it is painted for some reason and the rub rail is painted over. 2013 seems to be pretty new to have a new paint job on it.
I would make a call and ask a few questions.

Looks like from your other thread you picked up that boat. Congrats!!!
How you liking it so far. What did you figure out on your paint question?

I never gave it any thought but I have an old fishing buddy who bought a New Tracker Pro about three years ago. It's red and red top rail too. Haven't seen it up close but I've seen pictures.

I believe it was in 2014 they switched over to Minn Kota. They tend to go with price, either should be ok.

I actually didn't purchase the one pictured. It was between two of them, and the owner of this red tracker kept on waffling on a time to show, and wasn't straight forward with my questions.

Ended up purchasing same year (2013) Pro 165 which is still sitting at the marina unfortunately since they brokered the sale. I'm waiting for the checks to clear, and a bill of sale signed by the original owner before I drive it off the lot....kind of upsets me since they have my money and i have nothing at the moment

The waiting is the hardest part,,,,,well, that and writing the check!
Good luck with the boat. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
