It's like anything else, you can get a car, truck, boat, or plane and you may or may not have issues. If it comes with a warranty, use it!! I'm not up in arms, just saying. smile


I totally agree, I ran a 2007 Tracker 175 for a few years, it was a fine boat. I have a couple friends with new Nitro/Rangers and they have had constant issues. I have fished from both and the Ranger (a 70K boat) just lacks quality, the plastic trim pieces are flimsy, the gel coat is bad and he had the same seal issue on the transom. The nitro guy can't keep finishing screws in place around the cap and it's been in twice to ammend it. These are just my observations since Bass Pro took on Ranger.
