Also the newer 175 BT's have a deeper V bow that helps it take the waves a lot smoother. Double seats up front are the way to go.

We have a 20' Tracker Grizzly (72" bottom and 96" beam) and the noise from the waves slappin' the boat is a lot less when both of us are up on the front. Sometimes I think it's the noise of the waves that slows down the bite rather than the see-saw motion. I could be wrong. I've been wrong one other time!![]()

That's right Sat, it's called the Revolution Hull, my 2006 has it and it's a lot smoother than the 16' 1999 BT I had before.

don't go talkin' new, ya'll know ES can only afford the "socks"!and the dock!
I have read that a full tank and full live wells helps alot the more weigh u have keeps the boat low in the water not on top so it don't bounce as much. Can't say about 2 in the front that's next on the to-do boat list.
If the fish aren't bitting just remember your not at work ! :D
