Easy there......

Keep looking, I sold my 2003 175 in show room condition for $4500.

tracker may be the dodge truck of the boating industry but keep in mind they have been in the business a long time an mr morris has accumulated enough wealth to buy all the great bass boat builders he wants.

I have owned 3 Tracker boats through the years-from the mid 80s to the Tracker I presently own (a 2016 Pro 170). I keep the Tracker at home here in Carthage to use on smaller lakes around here. I have a 19 foot fiberglass boat I keep up at Lake Fork for fishing there and other big lakes (Falcon, Rayburn, Toledo).

I have been happy with all 3 of my Trackers. They hold their value pretty dang well when you go to sell them.
Just know going in that if you plan on fishing in windy weather, you will get your [censored] wet. Kinda goes with the territory.

I want that 19 ft the one that's really wide. Can't remember the model. Would be a great boat to fish in rivers.

I bought a 2006 PT 175 in August of 2005. Fished close to 100 tournaments out of that boat before putting her out to pasture. The comments about wind are spot on. A 900 pound tin can will get pushed around a bit on a windy day. I modified the 12v TM system by adding a second 12v battery in one of the insulated coolers behind the passenger seat...and connected them to a toggle switch. This allowed me to switch over to a fresh battery when needed during a windy tournament day. The comments about Trackers running shallow are true. I had several Top 10 finishes over the years only because I was able to get over some skinny water, and into productive back waters. The gas consumption with those rigs are extremely conservative. Doesn't take much fuel to push the boat...and doesn't take much truck fuel to pull it on the roads. I thoroughly enjoyed my 10 years with my Tracker, and hated to giver her up this past spring.

The only negative experience that I had with my Tracker was hull stress. Like all boats, Trackers have a stringer system, which is also made of aluminum. This stringer is angled to fit into the hull. If you look at diagrams of this system, there are several angle points where a 90 degree corner sits on the aluminum hull. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this fact when I had the Tracker on big water (Rayburn, T Bend) in 5-6 foot seas during tournaments. Over the years, I began to see stress cracks forming in my hull. Aluminum weld patches would hold up for a while, but needed to be reinforced several times.

My situation was not unique, as two other Tracker owners in my circuit also had the same issues. One sent his boat back to Tracker (who honored the hull warranty, and repaired the cracks), and the other decided to just sell his boat. There are many positive factors for running out of a Tracker...but navigating in heavy seas is not one of them.

Hope this helps

My 175 is going on its 16th year. It has been in the gulf of Mexico and many lakes in north Texas. It has fished in the McDonalds tournament @ Fork at least 10 times. I have caught huge catfish, redfish, bass, specks, sharks, sting rays, drum, crappie. I love my Tracker and may never give it up. I can nose into rocky banks and not worry about fiberglass damage. its simple practical and affordable. Best thing I have ever bought!

I have a 2017 Pro Team 195 TXW. I love it. Been on Lake Livingston in pretty heavy wind and it did fine.
