It's hard to beat an xpress if your going with an aluminum boat. I'm on my second xpress and love it!

I have seen some well set-up crappie rigs from Lowe
2000 ProCraft 210 SuperPro DC w/Merc 250 ProXB
Hi-Tek rod holders
I've fished out of Crestliners, War Eagles and Sea Arks, I like my Triton as well as any of them.
They are all good boats with different kinds of lay outs that you need to consider.
I owned two Tracker Pro team 190's but when G3 came out with the new Eagle Talon I had to have it because of the lay out and storage.
I looked at the new Ranger aluminum which is also going to be a great boat but I did not like how the storage was laid out.
I don't think you will regret any of the three your looking at but I recommend climbing in them and really get the feel for them.
Good luck on what ever you decide to buy.

I bought a tracker 175 new last year and so far we love it. We looked at a few brands and they were all nice but the layout of the tracker was what we wanted. All 3 you mention are good boats. Its all in what works for you. We also like the lowe boat too..
I contacted several Boat companies with ?'s about dealers in my area and Lowe's commitment to making sure I was put in touch with a dealer and that the dealer took care of me Blew everyone else out of the water. A customer service rep even called after my order was placed to welcome me abroad and give me his direct number to save should I ever need him for anything.
It did Not surprise me that they have received so many customer service awards, but it definitely makes me feel good about my choice to go with a Lowe.

I second this, although this is my first boat. I bought the 175 with a 50HP because one of my local lakes has a 50HP max. After researching for half a year, I found it to be the best bang for MY buck. I have a gas sipping 50 HP on a stable boat and am still able to travel 32-33 MPH. I like the layout, but I am a 'what if' guy and pack the boat with stuff that I will probably (hopefully) never use. Figure out how much storage you need and add to that...LOL
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.
