Same boat, both seats seams are coming apart, we don't abuse it. I added a cooler to the back and strapped it down. Use factory one for trash can. FYI, trailer hubs do not like 100+ mph speeds...
Good to know, thanks bud
Imo the technology advances so quickly with fish finder's no matter what you have preinstalled into the console makes it more difficult to upgrade down the line. Even pro bass fishermen with top of the line boats and top of the line evetything have external mounts.
Haven't thought about it that way...that will certainly make the upgrade easier
I had a 2019 but the set up was exactly the same. Good to see an honest review, pretty much hit it on the head. I had the 1st generation vinyl that was a different texture, and it was downright slick when wet, I mean slip and you're out of the boat slick. I also only hit about 55 loaded running lithiums, all these people claiming they run 60-62 are full of it. I owned mine outright but sold it because my main complaint is the nose high stance makes fishing in wind suck. North Texas believe it or not is windy AF all the time. My previous Ranger RT 188 Aluminum sat level and fished way better, the Tracker having more of a Vee in the hull definitely handled the rough water better. Sold her off and paid cash for a 20' Viper Cobra. It rides rough water real nice and fishes really good but even though I am a 2 stroke man thru and thru, I miss that turn the key and start everytime of the PROXS, and I'm not a Mercury fan.
Good input, thanks 🙏
Thanks for the great review. I'm thinking on buying one.
So I see they haven’t made any changes to the cooler. I have a 2019 and it’s just like that
Correct. 🤷🏼
Its cool to see a Pacfic Northwest angler putting out bass fishing content 👍. The PNW gets no love in the bass world.
Couldn't agree more.
Come on guys all you have to do is put a little blue board around the sides and bottom of the “Trashcan” and it keeps one bag of ice in my “cooler” of 195 for two days and I live in the southeast. Just do a little DIY it is not hard. 2 bags will last 3 days. I only added 3/8in blue board foam an Inch foam would do even better.
They had some mods w a few screws to remove and replace the trash can with an igloo cooler--little cutting to remove handles and install plug and fits in there well….that or the insulation board are easy fixes for sure.
@@jerodjmoore That's what I did on my last tracker, worked just fine. On this one I'm going to make it a little more finished. One of my many winter projects
Nice-be cool to see it. I wish I had a nice garage…be neat to install all of my stuff and do projects. Have a Garmin force, livescope, second 126sv and str8 up mount to install!!!!
How many batteries can you fit in the boat ? Starting battery , trolling motor batteries , electronics battery .
I have 3 but I'm sure it'll fit 4, but probably worth researching if that's a deal breaker
You can definitely fit 4. That’s what was in mine before I traded for a 21’ Skeeter this winter
Basically everything was negative.
@@302vettelife2 It might have come off that way because it's easier to focus on the negatives. But I really enjoy this boat to this day and have no regrets on buying it. Just have to remember, you get what you pay for.
Use eva foam
I'll look into it, thx
Try adding a rubber gasket to the livewell doors to keep from flying open going down the road.
Not a bad idea 🤔
How’s it handle rough waters? Any worries of hitting a wave hard and denting the hull or cracking?
@@BoostedMK6 Nope, and I'm hard on the boat overall, holding up great!
I wanted to buy the 195….none around so I got the 190….LOVE IT.
I have over 250 hours on my 2020 Tracker 195 still have everything in perfect working order. My seats are still perfect and I have had O problems. I have the Garmin force on the front as well. I have a single 24-volt lithium battery and she runs around 57 top speed. I used to get it to 60 before I got so much tackle in it. The only thing I regret is the boat did not have the pro Xs just the regular 150 and it was in the middle of COVID so I was not going to wait.
Awesome! I kneel on my seat when landing fish often times and I weigh 200lbs...so there's that. Warranty already replaced the seat and a few other little items. Still very happy with this boat.
Great review thanks for doing this! One question is how does the Tacoma pull it? Especially on the long trips? I have a 2019 Manual Tacoma and plan on getting this boat or a variant of it.
Surprisingly not bad at all...but I do have the 4.0l, not sure if thats the reason or not
I think that you can order one without the trolling motor and fish finders. My Ranger aluminum came without and that was good for me. After two times out I upgraded the trolling motor plug because the cheap one got very hot from being a bad quality connection.
They didn't offer that as an option, but it was fine since I used the extra equipment on my Jon boat
Agreed, this was the turn off for me and without the in-dash fish finder I looked elsewhere. You would have thought the TX edition would truly be tournament ready.
Yeah, the term "tournament edition", is an overstatement, but good enough for me to win 7 tournaments last year 💪🏼
How does the tacoma hold up towing that? I have a 2009 tacoma wondering if it will tow a 2500lb with no issues
It tows surprisingly well... I have a 4.0l tho, not sure if that makes much difference
Not bad. I prefer carpet. Poor quality but it is cheap.
@@rogerglasco5941 I still love it, can't complain considering I spent $10-20K less than some other guys who have similar setups
If they would change that console like you said and allowed you to add power poles without voiding the warranty I would buy one
Ive read that there is only 1 approved bracket you can add without voiding your warranty.
Why did you say you needed a Jack Plate ? Do you have porpoising issue? How is hole shot ? Tracker says the void transom warranty with jack plate . What is your top speed loaded ? Thanks for info .
I feel like my last boat handled better, figured it's how deep the prop is in the water but I don't know enough to know if that's a fact. Hole shot is great and she runs 55mph on calm days but don't have extra weight in the back yet (power poles, etc..).
Can’t you add locking latches?
It's possible but I haven't done it. The service manager at Cabela's said he would do it but haven't brought the boat back in.
The cooler and dash seem to be the only things they dont upgrade on trackers lol
How is the hole shot with the weight of the gasoline back by the transom?
Can you add a six inch jack plate and mount power pokes to that?
If you did add power poles would the pumps have to mount in the storage boxes?
Hole shot is great, but keep in mind I'm running lithiums, quite a bit lighter. Not sure about your other questions, haven't got that far on the upgrades.
are you in CA? is that cannabis greenhouses? lol looks like your on a grow farm
ah, WA. lol
@@davecfishing7907 Gotta make a living and pay for my fishing habit 😉
@@BassFeedWA LOL Lucky!
I have the same boat, but a 2021 in Red, and the Tournament Edition. I love mine.
I love mine still, it's one me quite a few tournaments already. Good enough to compete with the big boys
I'm currently looking into the targa v18. Debating between the vinyl or carpet. How does it affect the rods and reels laying on it?
I haven't noticed any damage but I suppose that would increase the wear and tear laying on the vinyl vs carpet. Great for cleaning but otherwise I like carpet.
The seats are not your fault, they are Tracker/Nitro seats, kneeling or not they will come apart. Warranty covered mine as well. The first time. After that 500 plus to redo the seats. Garbage
I agree, they are even worse now even though I'm trying to be careful
I feel like I’ve seen you on the water before. Good to find your channel!
If you're local I'm sure you have
I live here
How fast does it run with those lithiums? My buddy has a 2018 that has AGMs and it runs about 48 with two people.
About 55mph
How Cool do you want your Garbage?
Also good video
What legth of shaft do you have on the Garmin Force?
57 if I remember right
Do t the matches literally spin?
If you mean latches, yes
My seat is the same. Boat is garage kept
Ugh
does not come with spare tire
Good point...I had to buy one
Lol worst boat ever😂
Anything tracker or nitro is garbage. You get what you pay for
That's life, you absolutely get what you pay for...but I will say, I did get a decent setup for the money...don't have big $ for a pro setup unfortunately.
@@BassFeedWA yes, hope it works for you, personally had a awful experience with a Nitro I bought new in 2012. Tracker fixed some of it but the main issues were not addressed. Had a warranty rep actually tell me to get with my fishing buddies and fix it ourselves, “it’s not rocket science”, his exact words. So we did fix it ourselves and I finally sold it
@@chrishampton8842that was over a decade ago.
@@Emotional-Damage-Failure and?
Price?
Was $46k after all upgrades
Great review man
How’s it done in rough water? Bigger lakes?
I fish a 34² mi lake on rough days and I don't have too much trouble
It's a pretty decent boat. My biggest complaint was the glue seeping through the crushed vinyl flooring. I'll be selling it Saturday. Moving to a bay boat
That back dry space storage holds ice sooooo much longer than the cooler.
Good to know! @@reggierobinson5934
@@reggierobinson5934i replaced the cooler with a 28 quart igloo and it fits perfect and work’s awesome. 100+ degree tournaments and drinks are still cold at 3pm.
Do u ever have a problem with the tip of your foot getting caught and tripped up in all those cup holders
No. As much as I thought it would be a problem, I have literally never tripped once
Great video. Beautiful hoop houses to!
Haha thx
