My seats came apart not long after I got it, and have came apart again since being fixed. My trolling motor mount has came loose. My wiring has shorts in it and sometimes my lights and depthfinders wont work. There have been other problems that I cant think of right now. The only thing I have been satisfied with is the motor. I gave 17,200 for it and wouldnt give 10,000 for it if I had it to do over. The Optimax I think is a little too heavy and the back end sits real low. it kinda scares me sometimes and any weight difference in the boat really throws it off badly. I was told after I bought the boat by another dealer that the Fisher was the same boat as the tracker but just a little more upscale. I didnt believe it until I compared them. He was right, and I could have saved quite a bit of money because the tracker was priced cheaper but was actually really the same boat. This has been my experience with Fisher and if I'm ever fortunate enough to get another new boat, it wont be a Fisher
