Has anyone fished out of the Tracker 195 TXW or Ranger RT188. I do like the maximum HP the Tracker is rated for but I'm interested in the stability of both boats. I have a 17 1/2 foot Alumacraft and its stability is pretty bad when trying to stand to fish. It's not much better using a butt seat plus there's not much room on the front deck. Any input or opinions are appreciated. I'm not real interested in how the 2 boats are constructed...mainly fishing stability. Thanks.
 
I don't have personal experience with either but have read that the Tracker may be a smoother ride but the Ranger is a more stable fishing platform.
 
That's what I'm after...a stable fishing platform. A boat that doesn't tip much when your fishing buddy makes a move on the back deck.
