I have a '89 Tracker Pro-V 16, and fish Milford with it all the time. It handles the waves fine but it catches quite a bit of wind if you're trying to stay in one spot and its windy. But it handles great in the waves. My buddy has a Tracker Grizzly mod-v 1753, its better about not catching the wind but if the winds blowing good I would much rather be going across the main lake in my deep V then his mod-v.
