U can upgrade to a 24 volt for not much more. I know Nitro had a bad rep back in the day but I think they are prob as good as any just not as many thrills. Can't believe they still use wood in the stringers (i think they still do not 100% sure.) I've been doing a lot of research and might just wait a little while. I have and prob always will have a V6 towing vehicle so I can't get anything to heavy. Something the Z7 size would prob be as big as i want. Also at the LOZ a little shorter boat is an advantage for me bc I like to squeeze btwn docks to fish and a long boat is not as maneuverable. I like the Trition 179 trx and Ranger 117 better than the Z6 but good grief almost 30k for a smaller boat and only 115 hp that's crazy but something I just might look into. I like the new bigger Tracker but since they quit making my boat the Tournament V18 they really have done themselves a disservice in storage bc the rear compartments are tiny and that boat doesn't have storage under the seats. Also the lid supports are spot welded and can pop off. I just want to make sure that if i'm forking out that kind of money I'm not sacrificing anything. I'd like to have a 150 hp but would do a 115 hp if I can get a stable wide boat with lots of storage. I night fish half the year anyway and the speed limit on the LOZ is 30 mph after dark and I usually don't run terribly far. I haven't seen one in person and don't know how they ride but it looks like the Crestliner VT series might have more bang for your buck if I stay with tin. Only thing about aluminium is it will be very hard to beat Tracker's ride especially my boat. It cuts the water, gets on plane, and handles rough stuff like a tank. Many people have fished with me and can't believe how well it rides for a tin boat. All in all I think boat prices are crazy but I'm still thinking about pulling the trigger...lil man might have to get out of daycare first though..........Originally Posted by LSL Angler
