Tracker makes a nice boat, but you would be happier with a G3 or Triton in that model of boat. Not because I sell G3 or Triton, but because it's a lot better boat and not much more money. In 2003 the #1 selling USED boat was a 2003 Tracker 185 Pro Team and the #2 was a 2002 Tracker 175 Pro Team as reported by Boat dealers across the county in Soundings, a boat industry trade magazine. The reason I point this out, is because if a boat leads the used boat market in the same or next model year that's usually an idication of a lot of things, but mostly its due to new boaters coming into the industry and realizing what the really want out of their boat the following year. If you coming from a fiberglass bass boat your not a new boater so your going to be happier with a boat that's a step up. Triton and G3 are 2 of the only ones that come to mind to me of a company that makes a higher end boat for a little more. G3 has the Eagle 185 that sells for $14,000-$16,000 and Triton has a 185 TS that sells for the same price range. Look at the seats, carpet, hinges and handles in the boat and that will show you a world of difference. I've heard Express makes a good boat, but I can't personally attest to that. Lowe and Fisher will be the same quality level as Tracker. If you look into Deep V's, Lund and Monarch are a few that are a step up as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not boat bashing, I'm just pointing out some differences. Tracker is a good boat, but in this day and age there are better choices in my opinion for close to the same price.

Good luck,
