Need A Favor

Is there anyone who owns a 2008 Suntracker PB 22 who could measure the length from the front rail to the back of the sun deck? I need a comparison to the length of my 2007 to see if a cover will interchange.

Thanks in advance.

Go to www.dowcomarine.com and look the covers up on those two years of boat. Dowco is who makes tracker covers.

I tried that and am still confused. In some cases they list two part numbers for the same year, kinda like there might be a mid year change. I guess I could go to a dealer and measure as I am told that 2008,9,10 are the same. :donno :donno :donno

I did a quick look and it does show a different cover

I'm looking at a cover on Craigslist at a good price. If it is close and I can make it work even if I have to have it modified I can still save quiet a bit of money. $400 compared to $2800. This is actually a full enclosure.

Ah I see. Looked at them myself. Cost way to much for me. If it is close then you could always replace that one side panel that is different. (on the enclosure)

Thanks for the effort Trott46. This would be easy except for the fact my wife broke her ankle in 3 places last week. They had to operate and install a steel plate and 10 screws. They haven't put a cast on it yet so she is confined to a walker. We have a two story house so she is also confined to the upstairs, bedroom, bath. She couldn't reach the intercom from the bed so I gave her a walkie talkie, man was I glad when the battery ran down on that thing. :biggrin2 Now she calls me on the phone when she needs something. I did get away long enough to go rent a wheel chair today. Maybe she can at least get out for a while now.

Again thanx.

Well I hate to hear that about your wife. I hope all comes out well for you guys. As for the enclosure I think you would be safe with buying it and possibly replacing witch ever curtain is different. If there is too many to replace then resell on ebay or craigslist for a bit a of a profit.

Well, I measured mine and it was approx 21' - 1" from the front side of the front rail to the back of the pad on the sun deck. Hope that helps give you some idea.

Thanks 427 that is perfect mine is 21' 3" so the cover will at least be long enough. I was going to buy it anyway and take a chance that it would work. I think the only difference is in the area around the rear gate but that is minor. The guy with the cover will be coming to Tulsa to pick up a boat on Monday so I don't even have to worry about delivery.
Again thanks to all. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Yeah that totally sucks. We had reservations at a campground at the lake for July 1 through July 4th, bought a new tube and rope for the grand kids and had all the family coming to watch the fireworks display from the boat. Maybe next year.
