This is my first "Boat Build" on a 2004 Bass Tracker Pro Team 185 and honestly this HJDECK EVA Foam from Amazon completely changed the look, motivation, and mindset for this BOAT! Very Happy with this Build so far! The 90HP Mercury is a MONSTER and now we are just upgrading the boat to more modern look!
If you are contemplating this PROJECT Just try it and learn from your mistakes! This was my first time ever using EVA FOAM and it was very simple after prepping and applying.
