I own a Triton but my buddy I fish with in Nashville has a tracker v-18 and we have fished tournaments out of it. I was impressed with the way it fished and handled. If I had to step down i would definately consider it. Also an asy tow

I own an all welded aluminum, and love it. I have been stuck on stumps, ran up on gravel, and put this boat through just about everything. And still fishes like the day I bought it. Biggest downside to aluminum, is they are very noisy like mentioned before. And the wind will blow you around like a tin can. With the pros and cons, and the type of fishing I do most, I will never own anything but aluminum.

I have a 2003 Tracker Deep V 17 and it has the pros and cons. Pros - All Welded Hull, high gunnel and deep interior makes it safer for my young boy to be in the boat, takes on the waves pretty good, its an aluminum boat and not afraid to take it into the jungle to fish, drive sitting on a regular height seat versus sitting almost on the floor in most Glass boats, not as heavy as same size boat in glass that helps on the fuel efficiency in towing. IT WAS THE WINNING BOAT AT THE 27TH ANNUAL HORSE CREEK BILLY WESTMORELAND SMALLMOUTH INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT HELD DEC 5TH AND 6TH AT DALE HOLLOW LAKE (JUST COULD NOT RESIST).

Cons - sits high out of the water and easily blown around by the wind, storage is non-existant to the point that I designed and built an extension to the front deck that doubles as a storage compartment, back deck is very small for the guy in the back of the boat to the point that I designed and built a back deck for added standing room that I can also store large plastic storage bins underneath for more storage and DRY STORAGE, there is no dry storage in the boat except for what I added, even with a 90hp motor top speed is right at 38mph, high gunnel gets in the way when trying to flip and pitch, hard to get in and out of when beached due to sitting so high

The boat was perfect when I was a lot bigger than I am now. With me losing so much weight and being more mobile, I would rather have a glass boat because I fished out of my buddy's Triton TR186 and it was so much more the boat than mine. Well worth the additional money. Would I buy another boat just like mine, NO. Just too many cons versus pros speaking from a Tracker DeepV 17 point of view versus traditional glass bass boats. I have not fished out of an aluminum traditional bass boat so can't compare apples to apples. I just know I would not buy a Tracker Aluminum Deep V boat again.
