I have a 2001 TR 186 w/150 hp - Max. HP for that year model, bought used in 2005. I live a and fish on Lake Fork. That boat have been put to the test. I wouldn't have any problem with buying another one. It can take rough water if you drive it right. The seats were replaced a few years back, they had some wear on them. The carpets are good and all the hinges are in tack. For an 18 year old boat it's holding up well. The only thing that I would do different is go bigger for the larger front deck and better ride in the rough water. If this is the boat that fits your budget and in the garage I would go for it.
