Tracker 175 or Lowe Stinger 175
I may be getting a 2015 Ranger 178, but coworker is getting cold-feet on selling it. With that said what are your opinions and vote on Tracker 175 or Lowe Stinger 175?
My thoughts given they would be similarly priced:
Tracker is slightly faster with the 60 HP, even more so with the 75.
Lowe wider on the front deck.
In the Crappie version, the extra seat post look more centered in the Lowe versus sitting over the edge on Tracker.

I went with my Lowe 195 over tracker because of front deck size

I have a 2016 Lowe 175 Stinger and been very happy. Like the built in minnow buckets in the livewells, 3 pedestals built in on the the bow, width and very easy to unload and load. Only change I've would have done is upgraded to the 80hp. Only down fall is it catches a lot of wind. Definitely got with 80lb thrust trolling motor if you can.

I have a 2011 175 tracker and I can’t complain about it at all! I did move my two trolling batteries up front to level it out... I put in extra pedestal bases to sit two people up front spider rigging! It’s been a great boat for me

Thanks everyone. The more I look at the Stinger, the more I like it. I’ve come to the conclusion that the aluminum boats in my price range get blown around easily. I’ll likely upgrade to a trolling motor with GPS to combat it.

I got the twin sister to the Ranger 188C after mulling over the Ranger for several months. Ultimately, I decided on the 2020 Triton 18TX w the 115hp Mercury 4-Stroke, because I have a Triton dealer and service center (Chatlee Marine) about 15 minutes from my house; vs one hour to the nearest Ranger service center, which is what sealed the deal for me... and I absolutely love it.Originally Posted by thaDudeAbides

I have used Lowes for many years but never had Tracker. I know the Lowes are well made boats so it would be hard for me to switch.
