I have a couple of grandkids and the high decks aren't as safe as I would like them to be. I am thinking about trading mine this year or next because of that reason.
If you are looking to trade, definately look at the Tracker Pro Crappie 175. Same size as the PT 175 but designed much better for crappie fishing. We love ours and the lower decks allow our dogs to run around without the worry of them jumping off the front deck.
When in doubt, set the hook.
