Reservoir boat question
 

I'm looking for a no frills, welded, side console jon boat that comes with a 9.9 with power tilt (shoulders shot) or a no motor option for hp restricted reservoir use. G3 stick steer is nice but no 9.9 available. Closest I've come is the Tracker Grizzly but their entry level Merc EL 9.9 doesn't have power tilt, they won't upgrade, and it can't be ordered without a motor. Bad shoulder precludes tiller boats as well. Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I gotta look but I think minn kota makes a small motor power tilt a trim unit. I looked at one years ago for my 9.9 el . also look at cmc power tilt and trim. there pricey but you can apply it to any new boat ya get. if im understanding it correctly

btw check out polarkraft boats I think its the retriever jon. its a nice hull and you can mod it out , it may have a side console option too.

that's the other option, getting the grizzly with the EL and putting an aftermarket tilt on it but I'd rather have it factory. wish tracker would offer the boat without an engine or let me upgrade to the prokicker or command thrust. looked at polar kraft but I only see tillers in the jon series. looks like the retriever jon is a crestliner, I like the 1650 RETRIEVER SC but they don't offer a 9.9.
