Can't find specs for 1993 Tracker party hut!

#1 Post by wijames » Thu Jul 17, 2014 3:54 pm

I've called Tracker and even they can't tell me some facts about my.1993 party hut. Hoping someone here can. I'm trying to find out the size of the original fuel tank and what make and size of engine came on them from Tracker. Also could anyone tell me if I would benefit in speed measurably by going to a 115 four stroke from the 90 I have on it now?

Thanks

Most likely a 18 to 20 gallon tank and the lowest HP Force motor the original owner would let them get away with.

fuel I think it was a 20 gal. and no you might gain 2 mph. I went from a 60hp 2 stroke wot 18mph to a 115 2 stroke wot 23mph so I dont see you gaining any speed, but you will get a lot more mpg

Wow, that's all you gained with an extra 55 hp! I haven't had mine at wot yet but I will the first of the month when I switch marinas. I'm really hoping for at least 20. I was really hoping for 25 with the 115 as that's all the boat is rated for but I think that was just a dream.

Thanks, that's what the tank looks like. I didn't know they used Force motors back then but good to know.
