Have been reading for quite a while and finally decided to join. Lots of good information and knowledge on here. I'm running a 2013 Tracker pro 170 with a 60/40 Mercury 4 stroke. Pretty happy with it performance wise as long as you don't weigh it down with too many people. Runs low 30's on water like glass. Little slow to plane but the weight distribution sucks with the tank and batteries in the back. All in all I think it's a lot of boat for the money. I run the middle Allegheny river in the Kennerdell Pa area. Would eventually like to get an inboard boat that I could carry some more people on.
