My Grandfather passed away about a month and a half ago, and his prized possesion in life was his Bass Tracker III that he bought in 1986 (I think). He and my uncle drove to Springfield MO, to Bass Pro Shop HQ to pick it up. Last weekend, my Grandma gave me his boat. Grandpa LOVED this boat and it looks like it just rolled of the assembly line. I have so many good memories of him and I on the lake at Senecaville, and in Florida where he lived in the winter. It just goes to show you that memories like that are priceless. It makes it that much worse when animial rights activist try to take away our hunting and fishing rights!! They dont realize that it just is not about killing game. its about the memories you share with special people. I wish there was a way to get them to see it from that perspective, but I guess there is no changing some people.

Since yall seem to know a little about the boat, have you had any problems with the rivets leaking?? I read on the net that a couple of guys had problems with that. I thought it was odd because Grandpas is as water tight as a frogs rear end!!
