I am thinking about buying this boat and wanted to know if this is a good boat and motor? I havent heard many positive comments on the Tracker motors so I'm a little concerned. Any input would be appreciated...Thanks Kris

Wait for another to come along is what I'd do. DON'T get in a hurry. I know 2 Tracker 120's and they have both been good. They aint as potent as a Merc or John/Rude. All depends on how it was taken care of. The hull looks like a cheapened ProCraft and there is something funny lookin about those cheap arsed lookin front seats. I had a 1998 20' F/S ProCrap and know what should be there. These look like lowrider seats to me.
The 20' version didn't ride worth a [censored] in rough water, nice v in the very front but where the hull meets the water is pretty much flatter than a flitter. Just my opinion. But then again maybe I was hoping it would run where a ChamP ran. The 2 176's I had would take much rougher water than the 20' would at much higher speeds. But then the 20' was a heck of a fishin platform at rest.

Be patience...

The first thing you will be replacing is those cheap arse seats. I know, I made the mistake of buying some. First time I leaned back on one, it cratered. I would pass. Be patient, the right deal will come along.

What are you guys thinking, motor not so hot, hull is poorly made on this model etc....Whats the main turn off with this. Im just asking to get somewhat educated in what to look for and consider when I finally buy a boat...Thanks for all the input.

looks like lower unit has been recently painted, why.

Here's the best way to explain......

Nitro + Tracker =

if thats a force motor they haven't made it since 1999 has n't been made it 13 years

Well from the sounds of it this isnt the way to go. I've decided not to pursue...Thanks for the input and help...This will be my first boat purchase when I find the right one so I dont want to buy someones problems. Thanks again.!!!!
