I had a Tracker 17.5' in Ohio. Fished it for ten years. Would buy another Tracker in a heartbeat. Retired and moved to Alabama. Fixed income and no boat. Hope all the guys and gals on c.com surprise me with a 14 footer for Christmas this year. The boat can even be used as long as it is safe. Make it happen for this old man. Hey, don't laugh. I am serious.

I have a 175 with a 50, but not the pro crappie. I love the boat, it will push me around 33 and is very stable. If is a little light in the water so wind and urrent would affect it if u are in big bodies of water like Toledo Bend.

You don't say what year it is, but the older ones have marine grade plywood for floors, so has it been stored outside or inside? need to check the floors and the transom if stored outside. If its been stored inside and looks clean, then it probably is a good boat. I have an 04 PT 175 with a 60 2 stroke, runs good, I think of getting something a bit bigger (wider) but I'm so use to mine, just can't bring myself to do it.

Have a 170. Happy with the boat and motor past 3 years. My biggest complaint? The seat stitching could be alot better. Had mine replaced once under warranty (all 5 seats), and the same darn problem again less then 2 years later. Other then that, Im happy with the purchase.

I bought a brand new one with a 60hp motor in september of last year. I love everything about the boat except it does not have a larger engine. I'm thinking up upgrading to a 75. Besides that I have no complaints.

Had a Tracker PT175 for 10 years and loved it. Just sold it a few months back and bought a great glass Charger 19.5 ft to fish the Big 4 here in Mississippi. The tracker did good for me but when the Big 4 get windy and rough the glass handles better.
