I have a Tracker Avalanch and love it. Does anyone know why they quit making them?
I think I heard something about it being a mix of cost vs. sales. As I understand it, each hull was a one off, and not easily mass produced. I sure thought they looked like nice boats. If you have owned glass, how would you compare the stability of the avalanche to the glass bass boat?
Before the Avalanch, I had two aluminum Trackers. I got wet all the time in both of them. I decided to go with something that wouldn't get wet and the Avalanch is great. I have ridden in many glass boats and think the Avalanch rides as well as any of them. I have a 150 Merc and it will do 55mph with two people and all my junk. The aluminum is 1/8" thick and it looks just like a glass boat but much lighter. I talked to sales people at the time I bought mine and was told they were selling faster than they could make them. I had to wait 6 weeks to get mine at the end of '04.Quote:

I almost bought a left over 08 from BPS but wanted to ride in one before the purchace and they wouldn't put it on the water for me.Have heard good things about them though.
