Basstrackerma--
The options that I ordered with the boat was the Nitro cover and another drop box. I should have ordered the auto bilge but was not thinking that out all the way when we did the order. Not tooting my own horn, I'm fairly savy in rigging boats so I knew I could do the other things that I wanted.
1. Took the Motorguide motor off(I can't stand cable steers)and put on a Minnkota Terrova 55 pound thrust with AP and US.
2. Installed Humminbird 797 SI with SI transducer on the stepped hull and shoot through the hull in the bilge area.
3. Put Keelguard on. I was somewhat hesitant about doing this as I have never put one on before, but I am very glad that I did it myself now. As long as you take your time and have a helper, they are fairly easy. No sense in paying 2 1/2 times the price for the factory to install it.
You asked about the cover--I don't have a pic of it on the boat but I can say it fits like a glove. It is a rachet cover with 5 straps(2 on the back, 2 in the middle, and one on the bow). It comes with a support pole that pretty much eliminates any pooling of water. IMHO--If you are thinking of buying this boat, go with the Nitro cover. Yes it is twice as much as any "bass boat cover", but this cover is made specifically for this boat and has added felt in the spots where "rub spots" are.
If you buy this boat, make sure you get another drop box. God only knows why, but Tracker only puts one drop box in it. If you didn't order another one, the compartment is just a big hole(meaning no storage compartment).
As far as the ride. We have only been in rough water a couple of times, and it rides very well and is quite dry. Very stable boat as well. The 115 scoots it along at about 48 with full load, full gas, and two people. We are moving the motor up one hole tommorow so we'll see what happens.
Any other questions, please feel to ask.
