Thread: Question for you Tracker boat owner guys

Personally.....I think the Lowe is a better boat than the Tracker.......The Tracker with all its red paint and all might look better to a young first boat buyer.......but look at how it is constructed......look at the welds etc. the Lowe is better. Plus the Lowe is a wider more stable boat. By the way, I owned a Tracker for 22 years and never had a problem with anything.

I went ahead and added 2 pedastal seats in front, and rear also. Wife likes to set up front too.
Mine is 4 yrs old and never been back to shop.

Thanks Steve, its what he liked and its his money so I will gladly fish out of it, now when and if I get ready for a new boat I dont think I will go with tracker but I just dont know for sure. so many different opinions about boats and I guess I would just buy the one I found setup like I wanted or have one built to my needs. I am just happy that his is into fishing and not something else that could no doubt be worse. Its a good lookin boat and its what he likes so its his money to spend, Ive just been tryin to keep him from getting screwed over on the deal
