It took me 48 years to get my pt190 and I love everything about it. That is a super boat U have young man.

The reason why all space is not utilized for bigger or more storage spaces is because they inject foam into the hull for better flotation which takes up space.

I bought my Pro team 175TXW in 2016. I would not buy from the Tracker dealer at Bass Pro Shop in San Antonio again. I had the trolling motor and depth finder upgraded. Minkota 24V 85Lb and a Helix 10 put on. When everything was ready I went to pick it up and asked where the original equipment was. I was told "you don't get it". After informing them that I had payed for the boat package and the upgrades, that everything belonged to me, I did end up getting it back. It makes you wonder how many people they have done this to and what are they doing with that equipment. Makes me think, they're selling it and putting stolen money in their pockets. I do like my boat though.

Interesting note the same company that builds Ranger also builds Tracker. The Ranger rt188 and Tracker 190 tx look almost identical without decals. The inside is laid out the same as well. That was a deciding factor when I bought mine in 2019.

Wow. I read a lot of people's words of wisdom. I was looking at nitro and bass tracker. Looks like i will put money into my older champion boat. Its paid for and still runs 75 mph. Great video.

I own a vintage 1990 Bass Tracker Pro 17 aluminum with a 40hp Johnson Tracker. Both boat and motor are in very good condition. From my experience with owning several boats with some years to them is that aluminum oxides and fiberglass rots.

I have a 99 Pro Team 175, riveted. I use it several times a week and it doesn't leak a drop. I did upgrade to a Minn Kota Maxxum 70lb 24v trolling motor which made a huge difference! Plus upgraded electronics. I've won tournaments against very expensive bass boats. I love my Tracker!

I have a 1995 tracker 17.5. I bought it for $800 with a trailer. I restored everything, new wiring, carpet trolling motor, seats, used outboard in great condition. I love my boat. Total cost was $8000 and everything is how I want it.

Think about having a bright red boat while sight fishing? Probably a bad idea lol I made the same mistake.

Nice video. Just curious though, what makes Ranger's wiring better than this boat? I have a 2017 and the wiring hasn't been an issue at all. Are you referring to wire gauge or terminals?

>2 minute intro, 3 ads by 5:00. Really feels like you're reaching to make your vid longer, first and last video I click on from you. cheers

So you're saying I can run into stumps but not too fast. Excellent info thanks

Good video bro... I believe one of the reasons they keep the storage the size they are is cause of the flotation foam. They put a lot of it lol. Front and back! Cheers👍

What is y’all opinion on using a bass tracker on salt water???

I have a 1997 Pro Team 17 that I bought new and is still in great shape and runs great. Highly recommend the Tracker brand. If you take care of them they will last a long time.

I was thinking about buying a tracker boat.I think this video has totally turned me away from tracker boats.Thanks.Im going to check Ranger and I like those Triton boats too.

I love my old 1988 v17 rivets r the same age as me and she is dry ....also redid the floor and carpet she's a gem now!!😊

Can you be more specific about the wiring?

I have a 22 195 TXW TE and the only issue I have experienced is the condensation of moisture under all the lids. Never had any problems with electronics or trolling motor. For the money and the amount of time I spend in the boat, you can’t beat it for the price.

Good video tom and be safe with the virus going around

Pete and repeat were sitting in a boat, Pete fell out and who was left?

I have a 12+ year old Tracker, it is a really good boat. They must have made my boat better,than they do now ?

I have a 175 TX mine is grey with the red sticker. also I do not have the carpet

U can get white purple green as well.. any color If u have the money

I’ve owned a Tracker boat and it performed well overall, it spent a lot of hours on Lake Fork in Texas so it got tested to the max. The biggest issues I had with it was the trolling motor wiring fried and the storage compartments wouldn’t keep water at bay, I had other issues that were major but that was totally on the outboard manufacturer. I believe Tracker has resolved the storage leaks, I don’t know about the trolling motor wiring but it definitely needed to be of a heavier gauge on the rig I had. These boats are excellent for the every day fisherman and someone that fishes a few tournaments. If I weren’t about to go full blown into tournament fishing I’d own one in a heart beat. You can really mod these things into something really nice or just hit the water as is and still enjoy the heck out of it.........

Bro with those complaints you should have just bought a 195, also the new boats have better vinyl option ie no carpet issue and no hooks getting stuck. I like that u point out the affordability, prob the best point of Tracker boats

You can’t purchase the least expensive one and then complain because it doesn’t have everything that the more expensive models do. Carpet, electronics ect all these are how they are able to get the price down.

I would say it has something to do with safety. Most likley they wanted more foam in the hull

Just bought a 2019 195 tournament edition and most of you faults you say about your boat have been fixed or a least changed on the newer boat. Don’t know if tracker is listening to you, but it’s possible.

I love my tracker but if the wind is blowing 10 to 15 it is hard to deal with. It becomes a sail boat.

I bought a 175 tracker ,,can it be used in saltwater ????

I've just watched a few of your videos and they would be soooooo much better if you didnt drag stuff out for so long and repeat yourself, I get that the video needs to be long enough to fill with advertisements so you can get paid but for the love of god get on with it. Also in reviews about products people want to know about quality, nobody cares about color options and aesthetics that they can clearly see and decide on for themselves, they basically just wanna know how well all aspects of whatever your talking about works and how long it lasts.

Just saw this for the first time I have invited you should come see how they are built

I bought a Tracker 175 twx in 2011. Still have it. Would never by another one. Had trouble with the mercury motor. The first time out the key switch fell out of the console. The leaf springs were loose coming straight out of the factory. Tires were wore out first season. The carpet was coming loose plus the paint in the transom was peeling off! Fixed all problems! But would not recommend anyone to buy one!

Shoot or trolling motor for sure

You can build your own Tracker boat if you want to customize it. If you wait until it's on the showroom floor, or already on its way to Bass Pro Shops, your gonna pay for them to make changes. Love my Tracker!

My question is can you use it in saltwater???

Just looking for something to nitpick and complain about in order to do a video. I love my 175TXW w/75hp. They’re not perfect or the best but are a good buy for the money.

Actually the video doesn't start until 2:30.

Consider replacing the carpet with SeaDek.

I have a v18 targa best boat I ever owned

I have had 2 tracker 175. Junk. Bought a Ranger. Sure it cost more but quality is so so much better. It is heavier and more solid ride.

Ok but is it gonna let for years to come?

I Still think the tracker boats are fine.. Love mine...

The only thing I have ever said about them is they don't have enough compartment space. Good video

More storage equals more cost, trying to keep that down for the entry level fisherman.

Can this handle offshore

Two years later this motor is going strong kzfaq.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

Bass tracker 175 TXW TE needs a 90 hp bro if you could go like 55MPH like that would be AWSOME because with two people with live wells it needs it

My trackers have been great boats

He has personal issues about his thoughts. Thats why you customize your boat to your liking. No boat is going to be exactly the way you want it. If this guy wants a boat thats suits him he should contact Tracker to resolve his issues or spend more money to resolve his whinney issues.

Good video, thanks. You try a bit too hard though, and wow, the actual video content for your videos don't start until 2 minutes in!

Spend the extra money if your buying new on something made by pretty much anyone other than white river marine group if you're budget won't let you spend more on new, buy used if you buy ranger buy prior to 2015

There's 12 mins I won't get back

Have your dad buy a ranger

Talk to Kent Saxon at Gator Trax and design the boat of your dreams

I wish Tracker didn't have a wooden deck

You can get white to

That’s not the truth, that’s your opinion

Go ahead and skip to 2:30 if you’re in the comments.

The Tracker Aluminum Bass Boat is a great entry level rig. 👍👍 Tracker Marine has bought many boat brands over the years and have put some out of business like SeaCraft. I hope the Ranger brand holds its standard through time, hopefully some of the less than good standards won’t be implemented like I had seen in SeaCraft. Example: the drain plug two-part assembly inserted into the stern, but the inside piece at the bilge drain missing with the water having 100% exposure to the transom structure to get saturated with water. Too much hardener in the gelcoat was a big one causing many stress cracks throughout the hull including deck and exterior hull, even below the waterline. This spawned lawsuits to be lost by Tracker Marine awarding buys a full refund. I’d buy a used Tracker Aluminum boat for a steal when someone is bailing out due to their economic mishap, but I’d buy a 10-yr old Ranger before I’d buy a new Tracker aluminum rig.

Stiff neck and body... 🤣

I like your videos but id say you would do better if you didnt sound like a cheesy vtuber in the start of your videos lol . Just be you, you dont have to have a persona for youtube videos like the googan squad does.

your handsome

So . . . . . Upgrade it yourself. It’s your property.

I hate bothering go subscribe hit the bell no thanks

Something tells me you didn’t actually fork over any money for that boat you just say oui a lot cause you are in French 2!!!

I owned the first red hull bass trackers they made in 2004 . Worst boat I ever owned. Sold it in a year for a skeeter with a 150 for 6 k that was ten times the boat

Jerky hand movement is annoying.

Blaah blaah blaah bye. No sub!

Thier junk boats don't waste.your money

You need to learn how to release a fish dude.

Heres the truth about trackers ... They Suck !!! You can do a lot better with your money

TLDR got bored waiting through the repetitive intro

I don't think you're ugly, but I'm about done with hearing the word "ya'll" come from people that aren't black or have country accents.

The only thing pretty about you is your boat. Get to talking about your boat

Whiner

Tracker is a Junk boat. I wasted my money on 3 of them. All I did was made Johnny Morris rich. First off the tracker boats never would look like that if Johnny didn't buy out Fisher boats 12 yrs ago. 2nd No tracker is high end they are all junk. After 3 to 5 yrs the hull will Crack and transom will break. It is made that way so you can go back purchase a new one. This young kid don't know about boats too much. Nitro is a cheap fiberglass boat as well. Look what Johnny did to Ranger.. he also got rid of Triton Aluminum boats. He doesn't like competition. Go buy a better boat Xpress boats Avid Boats Sea Ark boats Excel boats.. they are better than Tracker. Ranger went to Hell.

Tracker boat, cheap entry boat made for poor quality components and poor craftsmanship
