Anyone

 

I bought a tracker earlier this year and asked about the versatrack stuff. It isn't easy to find. Any Tracker Marine Boat Center (not dealer, the service centers) should have them, if you are in the Cincinnati area there is one in Fairfield off of Rt. 4.

The Bass Pro in Cincinnati had the versatrack accessories on their boats in the showroom but didn't sell them there. The things I looked at were much more expensive than I wanted to spend however.

 

I have two of the Tracker holders that came with the boat. The second one broke today. Junk. The bolt that they use to tighten in down is barely big enough to not fit through the slot. If you tighten it too much, it pulls through.

If I can find someone to fabricate some of the brackets, I've solved my problem.

 

I just purchased a tracker, Pro V16, I love it and the Versatrack, I too was looking for rod holders that fit, I could not find them anywhere on the intranet where I can order them, and after reading some posts, here and elsewhere they do not get good reviews. So I made my own adaptors where you can place your favorite rod holder on. Here is a picture of how it looks.I can make them for a price, I have not given much thought to how much but it would be ~$15-25 it depends on the length you need.

post here if you have any interest

Hi Brian-
I am interested in perhaps getting 4 of those mounts for the VersaTrack rail. I too just got a new Tracker.

Do you also happen to have a bracket for a downrigger?

 

Brian, Those do look nice! I had some brackets made for me that clamp on, but I really like the way yours look. I may have to look into making some. What material did you make it out of?? Is it that composite board??

 

Here is what I came up with... It clamps on to the gunnel. Seems to work out OK.

 

Those look great. Do they scratch the top of the gunnel at all?

 

Brian, I am very interested in 4 of these blocks.
Size to fit a standard Scotty.

Brian, I too am interested in the pole holders. Is that a Scotty you have pictured there? Thanks!

No reply. Brian, you there bud? What did you use to make the blocking? a composite like starboard or aluminum?

 

I am getting my new tracker V175 this week and my buddy and I have fabricated a pretty nice system for the Versa Track(Maybe considering a patent) but anyway, I'll have pictures up this weekend and if anyone is interested in purchasing some I have left over material to make some more(ours will fit the tracker pro guide models and the Jon boats with versa track) It will also work for the Targa but have to get different material because the gunnel is a bit larger. I like the guys block pictures he made but fishing the way we do I don't trust only have 1 carrage bolt in the versa track/our system, we have 2 carrage bolts but whatever floats your boat! We are locking ours down tight as we don't want them to move when drifting for catfish. message me if you're interested.
Thanks!

 

I'm interested in some for the Targas V-18 Combo. This forum is limited, send me any info to amsler7@aol.com. Thanks

Hi!! I have just bought a Pro Guide V-175 and need a couple of rod holders in the worst way. I very much like what you have done with yours. If you can make a couple of extras or better yet If you can tell me how I can make my own brackets, I would be willing to pay reasonably well. Thanks for any help!!

Brian,

Really like what you've done with those rod holder brakets!! If you could make a couple extra or better yet, let me know how I can make my own, I would be happy to pay a reasonable fee to you. I will be going after Kokanee at Wallowa lake in Northeast Oregon over Memorial Day Weekend and have to come up with something soon.

I really like my Tracker Proguide V175, but am disappointed in the Versatrack accessories prices and availability.

Thanks for any help you can provide...

I made something very similiar, just curious do you use pins in the groove to keep it from rotating, I just used two knobs like yours instead of one..
Looks nice!!

 

Monster Rod holders is now making a bracket for the versa track kind of similar to what we made for our boat, but my fishing partner and I like ours a lot better as ours hangs outwards and the monster rod holder faces inside the boat. Both will work/not sure what they are charging but we put a lot of time/trial & error and now after being tested, we know ours holds up! I emailed you so get in touch with me if you'd like. 10:00am-10:00pm eastern would be fine.

 

Hey guys,

I am interested in buying some of your custom rod holders for my tracker. Please let me know if any of you have any for sale.

Thanks,
Scott

 

Hey guys -

I just got the new Tracker 18 W/T this spring and have been looking for a solution for the Versa Track rod holders. I would be interested in (2) of the custom rod holders you made. Shoot me an e-mail if you anyone is interested in making a couple for a reasonable fee.

Thanks!

 

Brian, I'd be interested in 4 of those for my new Targa.

 

Ok. I too need some custom made Rod Holders for my Targa 18WT. Does not sound like I would like the holders made by Tracker, if I could find them. I would like two rod holders for my Targa 18WT. Anyone interested in punching out a couple more? Give me a call at 618-339-2845 if you have time.

Thanks

 

Just purchased a 2012 Tracker Targa with the Versatrack system and find it hard to believe that these rod holders are so difficult to find. I am interested in buying two it possible?

 

Brian, Any chance that you could contact me? I need a few rod holders for a Tracker Targa in the worst way.

 

Hi All!

I, too am interested in the rod holder attachments that are here. We just but a 2012 Deep V V-175SC and are looking to add the rod holders without having to punch holes into the decking. I would be interested in 4-6 of them. @Brian - could you email me and let me know if this is possible? Thanks!

Personally I find it to be a nuisance not to be able to rotate the rod holder on a rail. My suggestion is to slap on a pair of ranger style hand rails. They are more functional than trying to use a stationary rod holder.
