I need help finding the engine serial number.

I took pictures and put it in a blog, figuring it would be easier than
trying to explain that dohickey or whachamacallit:

can anybody here help me?


Thanks,

That's a 3 cylinder, 966cc, motor, not 4. With the Tracker graphics on
the cowling, it's probably the same year as the boat - give or take one
year. I don't think a lot has changed since it was built.

I used to own the same boat - a little newer - and had the 40hp ELPTO
motor. Keep the carbs clean and it will run like a champ.

I wish I never sold it. I've been looking for a new aluminum bass boat
for a while now. I can't decide on the brand or the motor I want. I
do miss freshwater fishing.

Tracker Team 175 is a great entry boat for just kicking around small
lakes and even medium lakes. Oddly, it's not tippy at all - you think
it would be, but it's not.

Another that I like a lot is the Tracker Panfish


I had mine 4 miles offshore fishing on the reef on a few calm days
before I bought the bigger boat.

You're a braver man than I am. :)
