In other words, who gives you the most boat for the money you spend? Ranger? Triton? It'd be nice to have a new one to tow behind the new truck..... :rolleyes: "The misery of being exploited by capitalists is nothing... compared to the misery of not being exploited at all."

I bought a skeeter in 97 and fished out of it for two years and then got in a little bind and had to sell it. I've got a 01 tracker crappie pro with a 75 merc. now and I love it. Don't know nothing about the triton except there expensive.

I run it twice a week and love it. I have fished out of a Skeeter and a Ranger for 10 years and both are great boats however I don't believe either one is any better that the BassCat. I would rank them all about the same. One may have a few different features than the other, its all in what you like and how much money you want to spend. I do think Ranger has a better resale than the others. I did not want to buy a boat with any thing but a Mercury on it. I had a Yamaha before and it was nothing but trouble. The parts are very expensive and all the mecanics I talked to said they cost more to work on, expecially the 0x66 fuel injected. If you buy a yamaha be sure to get the carborated or at least that was what I was told to buy. The same mecanics said you cant go wrong with a xr6 Mercury. If you claim to be a Christian then why do you act like the devil? You will be known by the fruit you bear!

Make sure you get a onboard battery charger, all you have to do is plug it up when you get home. Had a 200 hp Mercury. Never had a problem with it. Man I miss that boat.
