I need an 18-19' with a 150 myself. My problem is my life is full of needs & the boat just keeps getting pushed back.

Guys, I really appreciate all of the opinions and feedback. I knew I would get some good advice based on other people's experiences. Really trying to prevent "buyers remorse". Thanks.

Good thing about a good used boat is that buyers remorse is much cheaper

I have a old Skeeter. It is a 1987 model with a 80 Merc. It runs 32 mph, with three men in it. I gave $3500 for it with a $450 depth finder, $250 trolling motor, and a new onboard charging system from Minn Kota. It still looks really good and has the modern hull design. Don't let the glitter get your money.

I'm kind of kicking around buying a boat myself and I have been trying to read up on aluminum vs glass. You guys that have the aluminum, are yall big guys? I haven't been in any of the newer aluminum boats. I am pretty meaty and was wondering how these aluminums do for big boys walking around in them. I have been with my brother in his glass and its not too bad.

The bass trackers move a lot. I haven't been in a ranger aluminum, but I have a Triton aluminum boat right now. It's 18'8" long. I'm not sure on the width, but it's twice as stable as a tracker boat is. It hardly moves when your walking around on it. I sell boats, so I'm not biased. I sell a lot of bass trackers , but these heavier top name boats are way more stable.
