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?

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

My dealer has taken on the Starcraft series of boats and I like those
a lot - fairly cheap too considering - slightly more rigged and out
the door than Tracker - like maybe $100 or so.
And to tell the truth, I really liked the Princecraft Yukon I sold Don
- that was a sweet little boat - plenty of interior room, it was set
up to fish from, very stable and pretty quick for it's size. Very easy
to load.
That's one boat I wish I hadn't sold - especially to a Canadian. :)
NOTE TO WHINERS:
That last was a friendly dig at Don - I have no quarrel with Don, do
not intend to have one and will refuse to have one - I like him - he
treats my former boat right.
For a Canadian. :)- Hide quoted text -

You want fishing room, you need something like this:

You know, something a 6 foot something, 2hundred and er. um,
something, overlord can stand up in
Aluminum, who ever heard of a boat made of Aluminum.. Might as well
paint on some noseart

One thing you can bet on, my aluminum Yukon will outlast a wood boat.
