I was extremely impressed with how kind the previous owner was and his explanation of how the boat operated and his patience in showing you all these details. We should all purchase a used boat from a person like this.
Hi Edwin. I couldn't agree more. Wish there were more people around like him. He made this transaction wonderful. I still stay in touch with him. Great guy. Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the Tracker family. i had the exact same experience last year when i bought my First boat.. (165 Pro ) Good to see there are still some really great people in the world.. enjoy and have fun..
Congrats bud you will love it 😊 I felt the same way last year when I bought my 2104 pro team 175 👊🏼 also if you trim up you will get to 35mph just make sure you trim down as you come to a stop so you don’t take water over the back. I followed 😁
Thanks very much moto man! It is a great feeling for sure. Wish I would have done it sooner. Thanks for the tip on the trim. Will definitely try it out and see if I can hit 35 :) Thanks for the follow :)
I'm personally in the works of buying my first boat and this video was honestly useful to me especially about the sudden stopping with the waves in the back coming in that is very useful knowledge to have, thank you and have a blessed day. Thank You again for this video!!!
Hi Charles. Thank you very much for your comments. I'm happy to hear you found the video useful. I remember watching a bunch of videos when I was searching for my first boat. Big decision. Best of luck in your search. Have a great day!
I just bought mine technically BRAND NEW it’s a 2011 tracker proteam 175txw at 95 hours with a 60hp. For $6,600. This older man was willing to let it go for cheap... I HIT A JACKPOT 🙌🏽 She’s brand new and clean never been in salt water. It’s an amazing machine from your video. I haven’t driven it haha.
Wow! Sounds like you hit the jackpot! Congrats on your purchase. You will definitely enjoy it. Feels good when you find them in that good of shape for that price. You will be smiling everytime you're out on it! Thanks for stopping by 👍
I bought the exact same boat, but a 2017 with a 75, two days ago. It’s at a dealer getting checked over for the warranty transfer, an oil change and the water pump replaced (supposed to change it every 3 years, per Mercury). If you are the 2nd owner, you have 30 days to get the lifetime warranty transferred (for $100) into your name. The seller obviously took really good care of that boat. It looks like new (so does mine!).
Hi J T. Congrats on buying your boat! I'm sure you're excited to get it out on the water. Thanks for the heads up on the water pump recommendation. Definitely want to keep the motor running well. I was fortunate to find one in great shape and to have such a great owner help me out like he did. Since buying the boat I've take the previous owner out fishing a couple times with me. Great guy. That's awesome you found one in such well kept shape. Enjoy your boat J T. Take care and tight lines!
When pulling your boat, try to use more speed initially with a little more trailer in the water than gassing it up the trailer. What can happen is, by you gassing it while on the ramp, you could create a well at the bottom and push silt up into a mound right off the ramp. Just makes the ramp worse for the next guy and could eventually build up enough for one to bottom out. Otherwise, awesome boat. I’m currently in college and just got a 16ft aluminum project boat to work on. Cant wait to rip some lips with it.
Hey Sam. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated 👍 Since making this video I've changed the way I load my boat. I don't gas it anymore to get on the trailer. I don't want to mess up the boat ramps. Good luck with the aluminum boat project. I've seen some pretty awesome DIY boat projects that are awesome! I'm sure yours will kick ass 😁 Get er done and get out on the water! Tight lines 🎣
The seller seemed like an awesome guy. I'm going to look at a very similar boat in 2 days. I hope my experience is as good as yours. It will also by my first fishing boat. I'm excited.
Hey there! I was fortunate to find someone so nice and happy to help me out. Made the experience that much better. Best of luck on your first boat purchase. I totally understand your excitement 😁 Hope it goes as well as mine and you find exactly what you're looking for. Cheers!
@@X2OOutdoors I did it! I got the boat. 2012 bass tracker 175 and I couldn't be happier. The seller was an awesome guy just like yours. Couldn't have had a better experience!
Congratulations!!! Awesome to hear 😁 There are some good people out there to deal with. You will love the boat 👍 It's nice to work towards something and get it. Enjoy your boat and Tight lines!
Congrats on the new boat! As long as you and your wife are happy that's all that matters 😊 I'm happy even when I'm out in my kayak away from it all. Enjoy your time on the water. Cheers!

Good for you I’m still working really hard to get mine too but I’m sure one I gonna feel what you are feeling now and it is just happiness of getting what you love hahahha
Thanks for your comment Daimler. I've talked to many people who were in my shoes and worked hard to get theirs. Things slow the process and I had to make some life changing decisions that paid off. So happy now. You will get your's too. Best of luck and take care. Cheers :)
That's a sweet acquisition there. Such great shape. Almost looked new. Congrats on the boat, that is awesome. Put your mind to it and you can make your dreams come true. You did it.
Thanks so much :) Buying this boat changed my life and I love every minute I'm on it. Even when it's rough and crappy out! Thanks for watching Cache Canada :)
For the price point it's a good entry level boat. I'm very happy with it. Had it through all kinds of conditions. I plan on making a video reviewing the boat in the near future. Thanks for watching 👍 Cheers
I bought a Classic XL this summer, trust me you won't be sorry. I love my boat and honestly after the mods I feel like it's just as nice and thousands less.
Thank you 👍 its always a nice feeling getting something you really want and work hard for. Hopefully you're able to pull the trigger on purchasing one of these or something else that gets you out on the water and makes you happy. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Hey there. I'm guessing you're in Wildwood Florida? If I have the abbreviation correct. I'm located in Ontario Canada. This was filmed at Wildwood Conservation area. That boat has treated me very well. I really enjoy fishing from it. One of the best purchases I've made.
@@X2OOutdoors Hey! Yes I'm from the Wildwood Florida area. I was hoping to wet the lines together but you are pretty far away. I'm glad you are enjoying the boat and I wish you the best!
@@411sponge72 if I lived close to you I would definitely hook up to go wet some lines! Maybe one day I will find myself down in the Florida area. Tight lines!
Nice boat. Nice video. Did the seller if say why he was selling? About how much did you pay? In FL, it's always a buyer's market. How and why did you decide to buy an alum bass boat vs. a fiberglass center console? I've had both and just sold my Tracker V14 (tiller). I'm boat shopping right now. Plan to run only in the FL Intracoastal and use the boat mostly for cruising and some fishing. Considering the Tracker 175 TXW or a 16 foot center console.
Thanks very much! The seller sold the boat because he didn't use it much. It was in mint condition. I live in Canada and the boat was priced at $14, 900 CAD which was a great price for this boat. I'm sure in Florida it would be cheaper. I bought aluminum because I wanted a lighter boat. At the time it was because of towing issues but now I own a truck so I wouldn't have an issue pulling a fibreglass boat. I do prefer the aluminum. The center consoles are cool but never considered one. Preference thing I guess. If you're running Intracoastal I'm sure either would work out for you. Again it comes down to preference. My 60hp runs pretty good. Would love to drive one with a 75hp to see how much difference and feel there is between the two. Good luck with your search. Cheers!
Thanks very much! Took me awhile to get to this point but I did finally got it. Really happy with it. Hope you get yours soon. All the best. Tight lines 🎣
I am looking between a '19 Tracker (same Model as your boat) or a '20 Lowe. How do you like the Tracker? Plenty of space/storage? Any more info would be awesome. What features does your boat have too? Thank You
Hi Jonas. Thanks for stopping by. I don't know much about the Lowe's boats. Have heard they run at a lower price point then the Tracker. This is what I can tell you about mine. It's a 2015. I do love my boat. But would like to make certain changes to it. The Minn Kota Edge 45 trolling motor that came on mine works ok when its not windy. In high winds not so much. Would definitely upgrade to more thrust. The 60hp motor goes pretty good clocking in the range 32mph+ depending on trim. A 4 blade prop can make some differences as well for hole shot. I do wish I had the 75hp but I'm still happy enough with the 60. Storage is pretty good on it. I can fit all I need on it. Spacious casting decks. 2 live wells. Rod storage locker is a plus! I did make a follow up video to this one called The Boat- Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW Check it out to see the boat in operation and my thoughts on it. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I do enjoy helping out when I can. Take care and tight lines! Cheers.
Hey Ice Man thanks very much! Unfortunately I had to sell the boat for financial reasons but I definitely enjoyed it while I had it for a few seasons. Think I may buy another one day but with the 75hp. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
New subscriber- congrats, I’m still where u were before the boat lol. It looks amazing! Have u taken it out on any of the Great Lakes? Any concerns or limitations? Why did u go console vs tiller? Why bass boat vs deep v or something else? Did u get a mechanic to look at the motor before you bought it? Great local content btw!
Hey there gr8tfish! Thanks for the sub and watching. It was a process finding the boat I wanted. I had deposits I cancelled on 2 other boats prior to this one. I felt this one was a good buy and had everything I needed. The largest body of water I took it on was St. Clair. On choppy water it handles pretty good. Rough water on St. Clair scared the hell outa me but still managed to get back safe. I fish mostly inland lakes. I'm all about the casting deck. Love it. I mostly cast shorelines and weeds so this is perfect. I've driven tillers and there alright but much prefer the console. Never got a mechanic to look at it because I went out for a test drive with the owner and felt confident in the motor running and the previous owner's care of the boat. I did make another video recently on this boat that highlights it more thoroughly if you care to check it out. Thanks again for all your comments. Tight lines!
Thanks FishOn! First season was good. Really like it! Looking to do a few upgrades on it. I did a follow up video on it as well to show it in operation and give my thoughts on it. Thanks for watching 👍
@@steezyboiiii808 yes you may suggest the Mustang life jackets :) they're awesome! I definitely would like to get one for myself. I'm not a fan of bulky life jackets so Mustang is on my wish list.
I do have a kill switch. The seat post hasn't been there for awhile now. I prefer no seat. Love the space to move around on the deck. The seat got in the way of my sight lines when I was driving. Something I just didn't like. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice boat buy and really great video. I’m looking at the 2020 Tracker 175 TXW Tournament Edition. Waiting for the boat and RV show in two weeks. Oh n btw, does that have the standard 60 HP on it?
Hey there Michael. Thanks for watching. It really is a very good boat at the price point you can get them at. Hopefully you get yourself the new 2020 Tourney Edition at the show. I've had that boat in some crazy water conditions and it didn't let me down. My boat came with the standard 60 HP. It will do 30 mph no problem. I've even pushed 32 mph out of it but that was in perfect conditions with no wind or waves and trimmed out just right. I've often wondered about the optional 75 HP and what speed it would do with that? Since you're going to the show just ask what the boat will run with the 75. I am curious? Have a good one and I hope you go home with a new boat. Cheers!
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors Hey thanks for the great response. Yeah I already checked it out. The specs say with the 75 it’ll top at 35 and it does trim out a little faster. Not sure the price difference is really worth it though. Like you, this will be my first boat. I just retired June of 18 and have been wanting a bass boat to visit many of the lakes around here in Kentucky. Happy fishing 👍
@@TeamProsperity my pleasure. Thanks for the spec numbers. I had given some thought to a 75 HP upgrade but will not do it for only a few extra mph. The boat goes plenty fast when I'm by myself or with one other person on board. Best of luck on your first boat purchase and enjoy being out on the water....Tight lines!
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors The 75 will do more than give you a few MPH on top end. The 75 will have a lot more torque. One reason is it has 126 cid compare to the 60’s 60 cubes. The 75 shares the same block as the 90 and 115 but is tuned for a 75 so the engine is not strained at all. The 60 is a great engine but I would go the 75. You will have more power when you are loaded more mid range and the motor will never be strained. Once, it’s more than a few mph on top speed.
If all new boaters would do like you and learn about how your boat handles and how to run it the lake would be a safer place.The dealer should do this but most don’t even ask if you have ever owned a boat. I have bought 5 boats in the last 40 years never been asked not once.
Thanks for your comment Harlan. I couldn't agree more. I was thankful to the previous owner for taking me out and going over everything. It definitely helped me out and I feel its made me a safe and respectful boater. Here in Canada you have to take a boating course which I did online to get my operators card but it still does not give you the hands on knowledge of boat operation. Dealers want to sell and push you out the door. I was originally going to by through a dealer but backed out and opted for a private sale where the owner could do a more hands on approach. Thanks for watching and tight lines!
One thing I noticed going back through your vids, at the 9:12 mark, your motor tilts all the way up! On my 2019 175 TXW, my motor does not tilt that high, I wonder why that is?
That's a good question. I'm no specialist on power tilt so I cannot help you. I'm sure someone in the Facebook group Tracker Pro Team 175 Owners group can answer that question. They're extremely helpful.
@@X2OOutdoors Thank you. I joined that group this morning and made a post with details of my boat and added some pics. Check it out if you get a chance.
My boat has a 60hp Merc and I've had it up to 33mph with perfect conditions. I personally wouldn't pull a tube or ski behind me with the 60hp. The boat is available with a 75hp. I would with the bigger motor. I almost bought a G3 with a 90hp and that would have done the trick. I strictly fish from mine.
@mdo686 I don't doubt that it can pull the person up and keep them up. I found with 3 people in my boat getting it up on plane was a bit of a chore. Once its up there all good. Had to get one of the guys to sit on the front casting deck and it helped get it on plane quicker. For a couple of goes for fun with a tube or skier ok but if I seriously want to do it often I would look at a fish/ski type boat. Very nice setups for doing both.
Went To the Tracker Boat center in Shakopee. Mn. to look at a used boat. It was crap so I looked at a new boat. They emailed me a quote including taxes and all fees along with a credit app. I filled out the app online overnight and went to the dealer at 8am when they open. They said the price went up overnight $1,505.00. They don't want to honor their own written quote that's less than 24 hours old. Then at 5pm I get a call and email saying...OOOOPs. Its the 2022's that went up in price not the 2021's. still want the boat? UMMMMMMMMMMM.
I would definitely take the 2021 at the lower price. I don't think the boats have changed that much to warrant a big price increase in the 22. Then the dealer doesn't want to honor a quote? Unbelievable! Drives me crazy some of the practices going on out there. I got my boat used for a good price. Was well kept. I do enjoy it. Hope your boat purchase works out for you. Thanks for watching.
@@X2OOutdoors no problem glad that helped. Also if you run alot of shallow water you can add a jack plate and cavitation plate with the trim and Jack plate set correctly i know you can get 40 to 42 out of it. Also being able to utilize trim you can run 25 mph with less strain on engine.
Yes I agree. At that time I wasn't experienced lol and the previous owner just forgot. Everybody makes mistakes. I can guarantee now that the life jackets are always there 😁 Thanks for watching!
Hi Stella. Thanks for your comments. Always like to hear from fellow 175 owners. Congrats on the boat. Time I made the video I was new to this whole boating thing. Wasn't aware of washout at the ramps power loading. I surely don't want to be an ass 😜 Most ramps I go to here in Ontario are concrete pads including the one in video. I've gotten pretty good at loading the boat now so I don't have to power load. But if I'm ever down in MI I will be sure not to do that 😁 thanks for watching 👍
@@X2OOutdoors Thanks for the reply. Most launches in MI DNA ramps have signs prohibiting it and people will still do it. Even the concrete ramps can get washed out at the end leaving a drop off. Lakes here are at record high levels so we don't have to back in as far. Pick the boat up today..........Going to put a Bimini top on mine so we can stay out all day. This will be a safe way to get out and enjoy life during these troubling times. Be Safe
Thanks for explaining power loading and it's effects on the ramps. Definitely will be more aware of my practices around the ramps. I've seen a few of these boats with the Bimini top. Definitely helps with the long days on the water. I'm sure you will get lots of use from it. I know I plan on enjoying my time on the water away from all this crazy stuff. The solitude is what I crave. Enjoy the boat and be safe. Take care.
You're welcome. I personally like the boat. There are some things I'm going to change like the Minn Kota but otherwise pretty good. For the price I paid I'm happy with it. Guess it all depends on your budget and style of boat you prefer. I don't know much about the Lowe's boat. I'm assuming it carries a better price point?
Hi Ray. I can assure you the previous owner was far from shady. I've had the boat for a year and a half now and it runs fantastic. No issues. I appreciate your suggestion and it's not a bad idea. This guy did quite a bit for me. A lot more than some dealer would ever do. It was a feel good moment I wanted to share with everyone. I was a new buyer/boat owner at the time so my inexperience shows. Next time will probably be different. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering what this comment was all about. Then I clicked on the link to watch the video and laughed my ass off 😂 thanks for sharing that. It was entertaining. And thanks for watching this video to find the ABDR 😁
Im 2 weeks away from having a 2012 175 txw. Also my first boat. Cant wait.

Hey congrat it old video but I'm new here. My dream to get bass boat coming soon. Keep it up
Thanks very much! Took me awhile to get to this point but I did finally got it. Really happy with it. Hope you get yours soon. All the best. Tight lines 🎣
nice man stoked for yuou
Thanks very much 👍
I am looking between a '19 Tracker (same Model as your boat) or a '20 Lowe. How do you like the Tracker? Plenty of space/storage? Any more info would be awesome. What features does your boat have too? Thank You
Hi Jonas. Thanks for stopping by. I don't know much about the Lowe's boats. Have heard they run at a lower price point then the Tracker. This is what I can tell you about mine. It's a 2015. I do love my boat. But would like to make certain changes to it. The Minn Kota Edge 45 trolling motor that came on mine works ok when its not windy. In high winds not so much. Would definitely upgrade to more thrust. The 60hp motor goes pretty good clocking in the range 32mph+ depending on trim. A 4 blade prop can make some differences as well for hole shot. I do wish I had the 75hp but I'm still happy enough with the 60. Storage is pretty good on it. I can fit all I need on it. Spacious casting decks. 2 live wells. Rod storage locker is a plus!
I did make a follow up video to this one called The Boat- Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW
Check it out to see the boat in operation and my thoughts on it.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I do enjoy helping out when I can. Take care and tight lines! Cheers.
Enjoy it.
Hey Ice Man thanks very much! Unfortunately I had to sell the boat for financial reasons but I definitely enjoyed it while I had it for a few seasons. Think I may buy another one day but with the 75hp. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
Well maybe when it’s meant you will have another one.
@@TheIceman101 thanks. When the time is right it will happen.
New subscriber- congrats, I’m still where u were before the boat lol. It looks amazing! Have u taken it out on any of the Great Lakes? Any concerns or limitations? Why did u go console vs tiller? Why bass boat vs deep v or something else? Did u get a mechanic to look at the motor before you bought it? Great local content btw!
Hey there gr8tfish! Thanks for the sub and watching. It was a process finding the boat I wanted. I had deposits I cancelled on 2 other boats prior to this one. I felt this one was a good buy and had everything I needed. The largest body of water I took it on was St. Clair. On choppy water it handles pretty good. Rough water on St. Clair scared the hell outa me but still managed to get back safe. I fish mostly inland lakes. I'm all about the casting deck. Love it. I mostly cast shorelines and weeds so this is perfect. I've driven tillers and there alright but much prefer the console. Never got a mechanic to look at it because I went out for a test drive with the owner and felt confident in the motor running and the previous owner's care of the boat. I did make another video recently on this boat that highlights it more thoroughly if you care to check it out. Thanks again for all your comments. Tight lines!
Sweet boat . How do you like it till Today?
Thanks FishOn! First season was good. Really like it! Looking to do a few upgrades on it. I did a follow up video on it as well to show it in operation and give my thoughts on it.
Thanks for watching 👍
Have to remember the life jackets are mostly for if you are knocked out and can't help yourself.
You are correct. My wife keeps telling me that same thing. Think I'm going to buy myself the inflatable pfd. Less bulky.
@@X2OOutdoors ha yes, I havent bit the bullet on those things cuz their expensive!
@@THIIIGUARDIAN so true! :)
@@X2OOutdoors may I suggest the mustang life jackets their great and very compact and don’t get in the way of your casting
@@steezyboiiii808 yes you may suggest the Mustang life jackets :) they're awesome! I definitely would like to get one for myself. I'm not a fan of bulky life jackets so Mustang is on my wish list.
Awesome boat! New to your channel
Thanks Vabasser 1 :)
👍
You don't put the transom saver back on it? When you take it out of the water?
I do put the transom saver back on after I take out of the water. Just didn't show it in the video.
I'd impail myself on one of those seat poles sticking up on the deck.Mabe kill switch?
I do have a kill switch. The seat post hasn't been there for awhile now. I prefer no seat. Love the space to move around on the deck. The seat got in the way of my sight lines when I was driving. Something I just didn't like. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice boat buy and really great video. I’m looking at the 2020 Tracker 175 TXW Tournament Edition. Waiting for the boat and RV show in two weeks. Oh n btw, does that have the standard 60 HP on it?
Hey there Michael. Thanks for watching. It really is a very good boat at the price point you can get them at. Hopefully you get yourself the new 2020 Tourney Edition at the show. I've had that boat in some crazy water conditions and it didn't let me down. My boat came with the standard 60 HP.
It will do 30 mph no problem. I've even pushed 32 mph out of it but that was in perfect conditions with no wind or waves and trimmed out just right. I've often wondered about the optional 75 HP and what speed it would do with that? Since you're going to the show just ask what the boat will run with the 75. I am curious? Have a good one and I hope you go home with a new boat. Cheers!
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors Hey thanks for the great response. Yeah I already checked it out. The specs say with the 75 it’ll top at 35 and it does trim out a little faster. Not sure the price difference is really worth it though. Like you, this will be my first boat. I just retired June of 18 and have been wanting a bass boat to visit many of the lakes around here in Kentucky. Happy fishing 👍
@@TeamProsperity my pleasure. Thanks for the spec numbers. I had given some thought to a 75 HP upgrade but will not do it for only a few extra mph. The boat goes plenty fast when I'm by myself or with one other person on board. Best of luck on your first boat purchase and enjoy being out on the water....Tight lines!
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors The 75 will do more than give you a few MPH on top end. The 75 will have a lot more torque. One reason is it has 126 cid compare to the 60’s 60 cubes. The 75 shares the same block as the 90 and 115 but is tuned for a 75 so the engine is not strained at all. The 60 is a great engine but I would go the 75. You will have more power when you are loaded more mid range and the motor will never be strained. Once, it’s more than a few mph on top speed.
@@melrose9252 thanks for that very informative reply. Interesting information. I will have to look further into purchasing one.
If all new boaters would do like you and learn about how your boat handles and how to run it the lake would be a safer place.The dealer should do this but most don’t even ask if you have ever owned a boat. I have bought 5 boats in the last 40 years never been asked not once.
Thanks for your comment Harlan. I couldn't agree more. I was thankful to the previous owner for taking me out and going over everything. It definitely helped me out and I feel its made me a safe and respectful boater. Here in Canada you have to take a boating course which I did online to get my operators card but it still does not give you the hands on knowledge of boat operation. Dealers want to sell and push you out the door. I was originally going to by through a dealer but backed out and opted for a private sale where the owner could do a more hands on approach.
Thanks for watching and tight lines!
Hey is that a 75 HP me and my friend so two people went and we got 45
Its a 60 HP. Damn you pulling 45 outa that 75 is pretty good. I often wondered about trading up to the 75.
@@X2OOutdoors it’s worth it 60 is too small honestly 75hp should be 80 90 hp but it runs great with 2 people
Give us a 5 yr update !!
It's still a good boat lol. I like your idea. Time for another video!
@@X2OOutdoors
I have the same boat!! 2016 model. I LOVE it.
@@badluk1 that's awesome! Happy to hear that. It really is a good boat.
One thing I noticed going back through your vids, at the 9:12 mark, your motor tilts all the way up! On my 2019 175 TXW, my motor does not tilt that high, I wonder why that is?
That's a good question. I'm no specialist on power tilt so I cannot help you. I'm sure someone in the Facebook group Tracker Pro Team 175 Owners group can answer that question. They're extremely helpful.
@@X2OOutdoors Thank you. I joined that group this morning and made a post with details of my boat and added some pics. Check it out if you get a chance.
That's awesome! You should get some answers. I will give your post a look. Enjoy!
Can you pull tubs and skis and what not with that boat?
My boat has a 60hp Merc and I've had it up to 33mph with perfect conditions. I personally wouldn't pull a tube or ski behind me with the 60hp. The boat is available with a 75hp. I would with the bigger motor. I almost bought a G3 with a 90hp and that would have done the trick. I strictly fish from mine.
@mdo686 I don't doubt that it can pull the person up and keep them up. I found with 3 people in my boat getting it up on plane was a bit of a chore. Once its up there all good. Had to get one of the guys to sit on the front casting deck and it helped get it on plane quicker. For a couple of goes for fun with a tube or skier ok but if I seriously want to do it often I would look at a fish/ski type boat. Very nice setups for doing both.
Went To the Tracker Boat center in Shakopee. Mn. to look at a used boat. It was crap so I looked at a new boat. They emailed me a quote including taxes and all fees along with a credit app. I filled out the app online overnight and went to the dealer at 8am when they open. They said the price went up overnight $1,505.00. They don't want to honor their own written quote that's less than 24 hours old. Then at 5pm I get a call and email saying...OOOOPs. Its the 2022's that went up in price not the 2021's. still want the boat? UMMMMMMMMMMM.
I would definitely take the 2021 at the lower price. I don't think the boats have changed that much to warrant a big price increase in the 22. Then the dealer doesn't want to honor a quote? Unbelievable! Drives me crazy some of the practices going on out there.
I got my boat used for a good price. Was well kept. I do enjoy it. Hope your boat purchase works out for you. Thanks for watching.
Trim it up boat should run about 40 mph.
Thanks for the tip! I managed to get it up to 37 😁
@@X2OOutdoors no problem glad that helped. Also if you run alot of shallow water you can add a jack plate and cavitation plate with the trim and Jack plate set correctly i know you can get 40 to 42 out of it. Also being able to utilize trim you can run 25 mph with less strain on engine.
Those are some great suggestions. Thanks for letting me know. All information is good when try to tweak the boat 👍
@@X2OOutdoors yes sir glad to help if i can. Last thing a good prop makes a world of difference as well. Have a blessed day .
Umm, don’t most experienced boat owners leave the life jackets on the boat. Nice boat though.
Yes I agree. At that time I wasn't experienced lol and the previous owner just forgot. Everybody makes mistakes. I can guarantee now that the life jackets are always there 😁 Thanks for watching!
LOVE TRACKER imma a get A 190 2020 tourny ed pro team
Awesome boat Steezy! You will enjoy it! Tight lines 😁
Thank you and congrats on the boat 🚣♀️
Thanks very much 😁 Cheers!
First thing. Take that aluminum prop off. Thats junk.
Lol thanks for the tip. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks.
Power loading washes out boat ramps. In MI you would be an ass. Nice boat, just got one myself, don't be an ass.
Hi Stella. Thanks for your comments. Always like to hear from fellow 175 owners. Congrats on the boat. Time I made the video I was new to this whole boating thing. Wasn't aware of washout at the ramps power loading. I surely don't want to be an ass 😜 Most ramps I go to here in Ontario are concrete pads including the one in video. I've gotten pretty good at loading the boat now so I don't have to power load. But if I'm ever down in MI I will be sure not to do that 😁 thanks for watching 👍
@@X2OOutdoors Thanks for the reply. Most launches in MI DNA ramps have signs prohibiting it and people will still do it. Even the concrete ramps can get washed out at the end leaving a drop off. Lakes here are at record high levels so we don't have to back in as far. Pick the boat up today..........Going to put a Bimini top on mine so we can stay out all day. This will be a safe way to get out and enjoy life during these troubling times. Be Safe
Thanks for explaining power loading and it's effects on the ramps. Definitely will be more aware of my practices around the ramps. I've seen a few of these boats with the Bimini top. Definitely helps with the long days on the water. I'm sure you will get lots of use from it. I know I plan on enjoying my time on the water away from all this crazy stuff. The solitude is what I crave. Enjoy the boat and be safe. Take care.
what’s the price
Here in Canada the new ones are around $27000. In the United States I think brand new around $22000. I purchased my 2015 used for $14900
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors
expensive , but thanks. Any buyers remorse , would u gotten the lowe’s or is still a all around good fishing boat.
You're welcome. I personally like the boat. There are some things I'm going to change like the Minn Kota but otherwise pretty good. For the price I paid I'm happy with it. Guess it all depends on your budget and style of boat you prefer. I don't know much about the Lowe's boat. I'm assuming it carries a better price point?
Xplore 2.0 Angling Outdoors
appreciat for info, will consider input when purchasing this boat or a lowe’s.. thanks
No problem and good luck 👍
Trim up the motor and you’ll go 40 you need some experience bud
Thanks for the tip Jeff :) I've started playing around with the trim and what a difference! I've managed to get the boat into the 38 range now.
NEVER EVER EVER BUY A BOAT WITHOUT HAVING A MECHANIC CHECK THE COMPRESSION, HIS WHOLE ENGINES GOTTA BE GOOD ALONE MAKES ME SUSPECT OF HIM SHADY
Hi Ray. I can assure you the previous owner was far from shady. I've had the boat for a year and a half now and it runs fantastic. No issues. I appreciate your suggestion and it's not a bad idea. This guy did quite a bit for me. A lot more than some dealer would ever do. It was a feel good moment I wanted to share with everyone. I was a new buyer/boat owner at the time so my inexperience shows. Next time will probably be different. Thanks for watching.
