  1. Looks like Middlebury, Connecticut?

    I'd be shipping from Holland, Michigan.

    I'm sure we could work something out for total delivered price.

    I'd be willing to split the shipping cost with you (I'd cover half the shipping.)

    I've only got rough shipping estimates on line, and will get exact best shipping cost tomorrow. I'll bring tracks and mounts to UPS for exact quote and let you know. 

    Does that sound OK?

  2. 3 years of  using Traxtech tracks plus brackets on an aluminum Tracker with "Versatrack" groove engineered into boats at factory. 

    No issues whatsover and had manual Cannon 2' and then Big Jon electric 2' downriggers. Tossed around hard in Lake Michigan, sometimes 13# cannonballs bumping bottom, with 200' - 400' coppers, and triple rods trees, all mounted into the tracks, and tracks are still solid as a rock.

    Please you may want to consider:

    1) Use all the holes available in the track that you can, not just how much hardware they give you. Tracks are pre-threaded but I still bought longer stainless screws, fender washers, and stop nuts wherever I could. Also consider heavy duty marine adhesive, or if you're experienced, Crestliner uses heavy duty aircraft rivets and the adhesive. 

    2) Use as long of a single track as will fit on your boat, in order to spread out huge force. Its a real thing. 

    3) If you can fit stainless or aluminum backing, that also lowers your risk of all that money going overboard.

    4) Go back and retighten a few times a year, to learn if anything is getting loose.

    4) Most important of all, have some fun out there.

  4. Berts or Traxtech tracks are very solid and fun when installed correctly. Your wide gunnels look perfect for installation. But you GOTTA make sure they are absolutely solid. If you can get underneath the gunnel, you are lucky. Go to local smaller hardware store and tell him what you're end result is but HUGE pressure. Worst case if you can't get under gunnel is super high end Marine adhesive plus you thread your gunnel to accept screws. Hardware guy should explain. Or aluminum boat dealer parts counter. When done you should be able to swing rod holders flat over the gunnel (same position as using dipsies) and they should hold 100lbs easily in the air over the side. You can do it. Have fun!
