Aluminum Alloy - Gauge

[Humminbird Greg]

Does anyone know what alloy and gauge aluminum Tracker uses in their boats?

 

[TrepMan]

Which model and year?



For instance:



- 2003 Pro Crappie 175 - .100 5052 Marine Alloy

- 2003 Avalanche - .125 5052 Marine Alloy



For new/current models just check www.trackerboats.com and for each boat under SPECIFICATIONS there is a Hull Material listed.

Thanks guys - didn't think I would find that info on their site but I did. I knew asking here would have been faaster than going through any 'official' channels.

Greg - Pat and I are correct for current years, pre 2003 (and pre-2001 on PT 175/185) the rivited boats were thinner then .100, just don't remember which. If you realy want to know, let me know and i'll pull my 2000 tracker brochures.

I think 99 and below were .080.......at least the 94 Pro Team 18 I had was .080

I was going to say the same thing TEE posted, but I threw away my 2000 Tracker catalog. Maybe Trep will confirm that out of his.

OK this get's complicated!! When they went to All Welded all the boats (except the Avalanche, as far as I can tell) went to .100 thickness. But the 2000 thickness varied greatly by model:



For the Pro Team 185 was .080 in 2000

For the Pro Team 175 was .072 in 2000

For the Pro Crappie 175 was .072 in 2000

The Pro Team 185 Jet was .080 in 2000

The Pro Team 18 Jet was .090 in 2000

The Pro Team 165 was just .063 in 2000

The Targa 17 and Pro Depp V 17 were .090 in 2000

The Pro Angler v 16 was .080 in 2000



If there are any other specific 2000 Tracker boats anyone is interested in, just let me know.
