I have the Tracker 190 with a Pro XS 115. It handles rough water and stumps very well. It runs 52 WOT and sips the gas. This is my third aluminum and I'm happy with it.

For years I fished my old Tourney TX17. Wind was always an issue and if you don't want any dents, Fork is not the lake to fish. But, I had many good days on Fork in this boat.

Thanks for the replies. After looking up the prices of the older Bass Trackers, I will Probably go that rout.
looks like a guy could get on the water in a decent boat in the 3500.00 dollar price range.
When I lived in Washington everyone used Aluminum boats on the rivers with jet pumps but
those boats had very thick hulls and a lot of reinforcements. but they were insane heavy boats.
I know there is probably a lot of difference between a lake boat and a river boat where you
will hit rocks from time to time.
