Northwest Fishing Reports

So I just got back from Bass Pro Shops. I went to pick up some lures for bass fishing, but co uldn't resist walking over tot he boat section while I was there. They have a Tracker for sale there you can pick up for a monthly payment of less then $160. I was drooling so hard I could have sworn I saw someone in a jonboat trolling my saliva trail. Just curious if anyone has owned one of these, currently or in the past. They look like decent boats, but I didn't spend a lot of time looking it over because I was afraid I would talk myself into getting a loan I couldn't afford Is there a cheaper alternative? I mean I don't really need a boat with a 115 outboard, and I'm sure that's the most expensive part. I'm kind of wary of purchasing a used boat off of craigslist, especialy since they are cash-in-hand deals, the only way I'd be able to afford a decent boat in the future is through financing.

A friend has a new Tracker. I forget what horse power. He likes the boat a lot. He had them remove the depth finders as they were being a major problem, I forget what the problem was, and had Limit Out install some good depth finders, and a good/proper set up.

I had a Tracker back in '88 and it was a great boat, but I decided I wanted a bigger boat, a deeper keel instead of the flat bottom, and a faster boat.

Go to Limit Out and see what they can do on one of their aluminum boat brands.

Checking Limit Out right now, thanks for the input, Amx!

Ugh, that 2011 Alumacraft... must..... look..... away.....

I sent an e-mail to the guy with the Tracker, he might come and post his thoughts on his boat.

I have a 2001 Tracker 16' deep V (why my name) riveted that came as a combo with a 40 Merc. It is 86" wide. I really like it. I was down at Bass Pro Shops and saw the 20'. The wife said 'Get it!' but I resisted. Mine works fine for now...
