That's what I fish out of CP and I like the boat. The one modification I made was to remove the middle seat and replace it with a carpeted plywood lid. Bass Pro gave me a matching piece of carpet and it's about as comfortable to sit on as a seat while allowing easy access to the back of the boat ( which was clumsy as heck before). Sometimes I wish it was a center console- easier to move around and get up and down in the drivers seat- but that's just my creaky knees talking. When the wind gets up I wish I was in a Lund but when I am gliding over and thru stump beds in Arkansas every spring I am really glad to be in my Tracker. I have fished 4 big men, all relatives, out of it several times without throwing anyone overboard yet and my boys tried to sink it at Burn Camp last month so a self inserting drain plug might be a good idea. If I fished a lot of big open water I would probably be looking at something built differently but the Tracker is pretty ideal for me and cheap enuf to load up with electronics worth more than the boat!
