I've been seeing a lot of those black Lowe boats when I fish Conway. I have been looking at a bass tracker, but after seeing those I'm not sure... How do you guys like them?
Btw, I've been caught staring a few times, I'm not trying to mean mug you fellas, your boat just looks sharp!
im little partial but ive owned both to me theres really no comparison , the lowe is a much better choice in my opinion, dont know the dementions for the new bass trackers but the lowes are wide up front "85 beam dual live wells and lots of storage also set up for spidering with three seat bases up front! its lowe for me !!!
lowe 195 is mighty fine boat
If you want the best build and toughest on the water check out excel!! Built in mountain view! !!!!
The one thing I love about the PT-190 tracker is the revolutionary hull. I love how it handles in the bigger lakes. Has good room up front as well but I still have some modifications I'm making as far as the equipment that comes with the original package I purchased. My advice would be find one with as many of the accessories you already want so you wont have as much expense getting it to the expectations you want to fish with. TM, storage battery compartment, storage, live wells ext. This will save you from having to buy as many upgrades later.
if you really got some deep pockets you should look at Ranger, BassCat or Skeeter!!!!Quote:

I have to say give BRM a chance. He is a pretty good guy and looks a lot better with a bag over his head.

Its like everything else when it yours and its new, whatever you pick your going to love it and think it was the best thing ever built. I dont think when you get into this dollar of boats you can pick a bad one, they are nice boats and all have great features, you just cant get one boat that has everything that you want
this is true , but question at the beginning of this thread was lowe or bass tracker not what is the best boat out there in your opinion , i have a lowe but there are better boats out there just think its better than tracker , like i also said ive owned both ! heres what i would do if i were buying i would look at all of em, compare prices and packages maybe go out on the water in each if possible and then choose what i wanted and could afford not what someone else tells me i should buy, jmo!!!!!!!Quote:

I have fished out of two lowes stingers and they are nice. Good ride, good room. I like my crappie express too though. I haven't been in a tracker.
Have an '06 Stinger 195..........tan colored (Brown?).......been rode hard and put up wet a LOT........115 four stroke Merc......best boat I ever owned. Had a Sea Ark crappie model before this. Lowe makes 'em right, and well, and they stand up to hard fishing. My tan one shows dirt pretty bad, but that's just the color. It does everything I ever wanted a boat to do, holds all my stuff (I don't even put up my fishing stuff anymore, my boat holds it all and just stays in the boat), and fishes two folks great.
If I had to buy a new one would probably either get a Ranger aluminum, a Triton X18C, but not before I checked out the new Lowe's.
Fisherman have so many choices these days and with boat builders willing to make them like you want them you can't hardly go wrong . I own a big ranger but would love to have an sea ark built to fit me , but express and lowe make great boats also but I am partial to buying an Arkansas built boat . I think you are on the right track but just be sure you get everything on it that you want and make SURE you have a large enough trolling motor , 99% of them come under powered in my opinion!!!
Xpress is built in Hot Springs.Quote:

The Lowe stinger is a good looking boat. They remind me of a Triton vt17. I don't think you can go wrong if you find what fits you. The Excel Meatgetter Edition II seems to be a good fit for us.
If you done talk to Bill aka. BRM. At Big River Marine. You not looking for a good boat at a good price .You crazy! Bill will help you get the best deal at another dealer! Bill knows boats!
Bill will do you right on price! !!!
Lowe makes a good boat if that's the one that YOU like best for your style of fishing. I sell the brands that I've mentioned above, but buy the one YOU like, Not the one someone else likes for you. Try to give each boat a test ride in rough conditions and see which one best suits YOUR needs. Do your homework BEFORE you buy!!!! Good Luck in finding the right boat. Call me if I can be of Any assistance to ya, whether you like one of the brands I sell or not.
Oh, one more thing, you have to get the rig to and from the lake. Make sure you check the quality of the trailer you get. A lot of boat companies put a cheap trailer under their rigs to keep the price down. Sometimes the best price isn't the best deal when shopping different brands!!!!
BTW, thanks for the comments Jerry and Todd. You guys know I appreciate it.
