Thread: OT-Tracker Pro Crappie 175

I am thinking about getting a Tracker Pro Crappie 175 with a 60 hp Merc.
If anyone has one and would like to give me their experience with it, please pm me with the info or your phone number.
Thanks,

I don't have the pro crappie, but I have a bass tracker and love it. Pretty versatile boats and have lots of storage. The only thing I would check into before making your decision is motor size. I know most dealers will allow you to upgrade from a 50 to a 60 and vice versa. I have a 60 on mine and it's great for the boat, but if there's a place that you like to fish that allows only up to a 50, then you would have to forfeit that over for the extra muscle. Black bayou is that way here. However, I don't fish black bayou so my 60 is great for me. Anyhow, I think you would enjoy the boat. I'm seeing more and more tracker boats on the water around here now days so I figure performance is pretty good.

I like mine; I don't like having carpet or the two livewells. The carpet is hard to keep clean and I rarely used live bait so the wells are wasted space. I wish I had the 60 hp instead of the 50 two stroke. Bottom line I'd buy another one.

My buddy just bought one brand new 5 months ago.He has the 60 hp merc-4stroke.With 2 people it'll do around 38mph.Me personally,I don't fish shiners much,so the 2 baitwells are wasted space.The seat pedestals are kinda tough to get in and out.After everything,I think he paid around 18 grand.He regrets not looking for a nice used.Overall,good boat,I would definately go with the 4 stroke,the fuel economy and no smoke is great,very quiet also.
Me personally,I like the Pro Team 175 TXW,more deck space,lots of dry storage.Good luck!

Ot I have a fisher 17-10 it comes frome the same factory that those boats come frome it is actually the same but with the name Fisher on it. It has two minner buckets airrated which I dont use but what I like about it you can have someone fishing with you and they can walk all over the boat and it dont lean and tilt while they are walking around. I have a 50 merc on it I didnt like the Mercury for a while because it was so hard to crank after you first cranked it and fished 2 or3 hours and went to crank it she didnt want to crank, I took it to bass pro and the adjusted it out and it is ok now.

I bought mine in May. I have the 60hp 4 stroke and I upgraded the trolling motor to the Minn Kota Maxxum Pro. I really like the layout of the boat. I use both baitwells and livewells. I have rod holders all around and the boat doubles for crappie and catfish fishing. I have the 4 blade Trophy prop on it. I don't see this boat doing 38mph with two people in it. I have done 38 mph GPS with just me in the boat but I gues it can go faster with a different prop like the Tempest. I like the way this boat gets through the cypress trees down here in south Louisiana and yet, handles big waves and wakes well when I'm motoring down the Atchafalaya River. My last boat was a 19' BassCat w/ a tandem trailer and this boat/package is so light I don't even realize I'm trailering it.
Getting at the pumps is a bit of a test as they are tough to get at. That's my only criticism.

I have an 05 Pro Crappie and I like it, only problem I had was getting it to take gas.
I think they have corrected this on the new models.
Other than that I like mine, I have the 60 hp 4 stroke. Only way to go.
