Whats a good boat for a price range around 20k - 25k$

Also right now i have a Pro Team 165 bass Tracker would a Nitro z6 be a huge difference in handling and comfort of the boat?

Whats yall opinion on a good boat for a decent price.

For just a little more you can get the Z7 if you're wanting to stay with the Nitro line and if you are willing to go the used boat route you can pick up a good 20 foot boat for the money. I fish out of a Skeeter SX180, it's a 17 1/2 foot and it's an OK size but I fish by myself most the time. When I take someone and their gear it can get a little crowded. I guess it just depends on your needs. You will notice a lot of difference in the Bass Tracker and the Nitro but you're not comparing apples to apples either. Good luck on which ever boat you choose.

Buy a used 20' boat, you'll thank yourself later.

Yes. There will be a big difference. The Z6 is much wider and a stable fishing platform. You will have some real storage in a Z6. Wind will not bother the Z6 as much either.
Overall it will be a much different experience.
My first boat was a Tracker Pro 170 TX and I moved up to a Skeeter ZX190 which is a 18' class boat. Totally different fishing experience.

Owned an X5 which is the Z6 before the name change. Fished Falcon with it all the time. Had a 115 opti on it. I would say its was a good starter boat for me. Not saying it can't be a long term boat. Recently upgraded to a bigger boat.
