Post gunwale track
I was wondering if anyone has a Phowler or similar boat with gunwale track channel for T-bolts and accessories? I have a tracker grizzly and this has served well for a number of applications. Thanks to someone on this site, I drilled access points on either end and I am using galvanized carriage bolts 1/4" dia. instead of those expensive T-bolts. I wanted to build a "scissors blind" frame incorporating the track for mounting points for the blind. If anyone has done this, please advise. I thought maybe those suggested Bimini fixtures could be used this way. I think only Phowler, Tracker, WarEagle, are the only mfg.'s using this feature.

On my old tracker i used l brackets attached to the track, then bolted my beavertail blind cross members to it.

Thank you, BadBowtie, good idea. I am thinking of using a moveable fixture, like on a bimini, to go on the track. Weren't you a regular poster on the "Fuge site? I haven't been there in a long time, got locked out and haven't been able to sort that out.
