    1992 Bass Tracker

    had to go thru the old BT catalogs. it appears that is a pan-fish special. and not the larger Bass Tracker series. the panfish was narrow enough to be stick steer.... but just barely at 71" wide beam, the controls are about 60" apart. It would have looked like this.

    your opinion

    Get a new heat exchanger kit from Orca or similar Mercruiser has has 20-30 different heat exchanger setups on the SBC alone between the early 70s and 2000s Being a 1997 you already have vortec heads.

    your opinion

    the 350 with a carb has been around since the late 60's in boats However, your current motor is a 1986-1995 vintage your drive is a post 1992 if it was me, I would be taking your current block, vortec heads (1996 and later), a stroker crank/rods, LCQ style pistons and build a 6.2

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    heavy fog is bad torrential downpour is bad at slow speeds, neither my hand-held or dash mount can keep direction, so if you look at my GPS tracks in the past after fog or heavy rain, its just a bunch of small circles. Now I have the dash compass as well

    Engine choice

    My guess is an idiot or a scam artist had the boat prior. You have a core block that will need at a minimum $1500 worth of parts and machining. To do it right you are looking at about $2500 As Scott mentioned, there are choices buy a reman, properly reman the one you have, or buy a salvage...

    Tracker

    there are a few salvage yards. green bay propeller may have a tracker as they were big on lake michigan. but you have to walk the yard. it would be easier and quicker getting two made at your local aluminum fab company since white water marine is still making trackers, you can also check...
