Thread: I am looking for perfect boat, with $ limitations!

Looking for an aluminum , all welded boat , 17' or over, not older than a 1999 with 40+HP motor in excellent condition. Not less than a 50" bottom . Here is the catch. I am looking for something for about $5000.00. I know their must be a bass tracker out there some where, that will meet these specs. Thanks, Chodie

Good luck....If you find 2 of em holler at me...

Don't seem like that would be all that hard to find. Are you stuck on the Tracker? Or are you talking tracker style with full decks and carpet? Are you looking for a bass layout or a crappie layout with 2 livewells?

If it's a tracker you're after, I'm not sure of exactly the year they went to a full welded hull but it seems it was after 99.....maybe 01-02?

Where are you at and are you willing to travel for it? Let me know and I'll keep an eye out for one. I'm always looking even though I'm seldom buying.

Wannabe...

kinda tight on the price range for a 99 or newer boat

Here's another, again, not a 99 or newer, but I think this one is all welded and the price is right at $3500

Getting closer, but it's a 97.

Perfect boat, just out of your price range

How about a Lowe? Right year, right size, looks to be welded

I was in Gander Mountain in Hattiesburg yesterday and their Bass Trackers were reduced!! 170 tx equiped with 50 merc 4 stroke (10,600 + tax). A 175txls proteam with 50 merc 2 stroke approximately same price. Looks like it is boat discount time.

Did you notice if they had a PT185, and what the price was (for whatever size motor it had)?

Hey guys their are plenty of fiberglass boats for sale at reasonable prices, but the Aluminum boats are hard to come by . Any comments on Fiberglass versus Aluminum boats will be appreciated.

When my Xpress was bouncing off the boat ramp at Graysport the other day, I didn't worry near as much about it as I would have had it been a fiberglass boat. Same with stumps when I bump them.
