Didn’t take long for that first dislike.. sure wish I knew if it was because of audio or some other reason...
I think it was great! Covered everything! Good job
@@benbutlerfishing thanks. I’d like to re-record my six month impression video.
Great walk-through. The complaints (Roller, trim gauge etc) as as important. Most boat walk through videos tend to be bragging videos. Well done.
Good review, very detailed and practical. I just bought this same boat but it’s a 2014 with only 142 hours on it.
Nice!!
If that question was for me, yes. I like it overall, but it isn’t without some criticism. Weak trolling motor (easy fix). If I could do it again I would buy something more “bass centric” but overall I’m very happy.
@Mike Oxmall well it’s a complicated answer. I exclusively bass fish from this and it does very well. Live wells are great, motor is solid.. my only complaint other than the current trolling motor is simply storage. The rod lockers suck so I use them for my boxes but it’s not ideal. For the money, you won’t regret it.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures How is the boat doing?
Overall great.. I have a few complaints but they aren’t major. Wishing i would have gone with carpet, and upgraded the trolling motor day one. All things considered though I’m extremely happy
Very helpful. I’m looking at this boat as my first boat.
It’s a solid fishing rig. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures They call this. oat a “multi species” design. What makes it so.
Seating options, dual live wells, and recessed deck. You have several seating options so posting up two on the front deck and jigging for crappie, or up north for walleye. I use it to bass fish primarily. Lots of deck space, good amount of storage too. My complaint, if any, is the size of the rod lockers.
My boat has some the same issues and it’s not a aluminum tracker. Lol my biggest one was the ignition switch spinning on me!! Drove me nuts finally only way I got it to fix was I put a really small drop of gorilla glue on the thread part at the back and just snuggled up the plastic tension nut. Haven’t had any issues in a year now. And if need to I can still get it to come off .
Have you taken her through any rough water yet? I'm looking at getting the exact same set up and was curious how trackers handle in rough water
My answer will be a bit subjective. I’ve had her out when waves were capping and it handled them fine. That said, rough water in Oklahoma is nothing compared to anywhere up north. Also, upgrade the trolling motor!! The short shaft causes the motor to come out, and 45lbs is just not enough. I feel like it handles most everything I’ve thrown at it so far, but again, rough here probably isn’t that bad.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures I'm coming out of Yukon, OK! Lake Eufaula is my old stomping grounds. So if they handle Oklahoma white caps, that's good enough for me!
Yeah I was definitely looking at getting a bigger trolling motor. Probably somewhere in the 80 lbs thrust.
My wife has friends in Yukon. I think it handles well, and isn’t the back breaker others would claim. Just cut the waves right and she’ll be fine. Also I’d say 80 minimum. Mine sits low in the back so I’m curious how it rides once I add my third battery
That trolling motor is working well for me😉
It worked well, just not for the style of fishing I’m doing. It seems like Oklahoma was plotting against me, as I don’t recall the last time it wasn’t crazy windy.
I have the 2012 tf. Seems like not much has changed, including the weak trolling motor. If there's a constant wind above 6 mph + current, you're not fishing all day. Have you upgraded yours yet?
I haven’t yet. I was gifted a 70lb motorguide but haven’t bought the extra battery yet. That 45 is worthless though
Thanks for the info! I planning on getting one probably sometime this year. Just one question though would the 55 thrust troll motor strong enough? Thanks again!
It does okay most of the time but on bigger water I feel like you’d want a bit more. I upgraded to the force so I could spot lock/anchor
Disconnect the light underneath the dash it will save you. Get a 5$ box of damprid and out in your big storage box. Bimini top will save you in the heat of summer I take mine on and off it takes two min. Also get the ultrex you won’t be sorry good review. I had almost all the same complaints research and join groups like tracker 175 boat owners on Facebook. Thousands of owners that can teach you a lot
Yep I’m in the groups, and they are solid. Working on a strategy for upgrades, but I have to bust my ass for my bonuses 😂
Good luck with your vinyl! Mine is bubbling up all over. Poor glue or bad installation. If you are on the Tracker 175 boat owners page on Facebook, you’ll see others have the same issue! I’m currently waiting on tracker for a few repairs to my 2020 175 TXW TE. Ugh...
I’ve seen those posts too. Not ideal right!! Hate that you’re already dealing with that crap but hopefully they get it done quick.
What length shaft is your troller motor?
I think you got the upgraded floor right? Is it slippery when wet? Also, do you know if the regular carpet pretty snag proof?
I’ve not had any issues with it being slick at all. I have had issues with it being blistering hot in the summer though. I find myself fishing barefoot a lot and you’ll pay the price. As far as the carpet, yes it’s very snag proof. Surprisingly actually.
Nice video, it was a lots of help with me wanting the same boat, I have one question.
would you recommend I get carpet or the vinyl flooring? I live in california
Carpet 100%
Been out in the boat several times, then at the end you state you’re still in the break in period ? How’s that ? I couldn’t wait to break mine in.
We’re well beyond break in now. I’m loving the boat. Strong motor and super quiet
How stable is the boat when your walking aroud been looking at them also
Not too bad at all. I’m a big dude so I can get it moving but I don’t ever really feel too unstable. Only issue I have is when I have one foot on the pedal and I’m trying to balance on the other. IMO very stable.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures Im a big guy too thats why i was wondering thanks for the info
No prob
I want one so bad, hopefully in the next year or two. There are lakes in WI that have Islands you can camp on, do some musky fishing and spend the night on an island 😁 is the boat relatively easy to launch/load/maneuver by yourself?
Incredibly easy to launch and load alone. You all have some BIG water up there and I don’t know how well it would handle that. Not saying it couldn’t but I’m just not sure. I’d love to do the island camping, and Musky fishing is on my bucket list!
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures Thanks for the Reply! Yeah, I won't be going on any of the great lakes, or even Lake Winnebago. Most of the lakes I would frequent are much smaller. Main lake is about 200 acres, which brings up the next question, how does it handle shallow waters? Big part of why I'm looking at these boats is because they're lightweight and the main lake has quite a few spots that are maybe 6-12 inches deep. Really appreciate your video, it was well done and very informative! Keep it up!
They handle shallow water extremely well. I got back in a couple places that were beyond sketchy and it handled it with ease
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures awesome! Thanks again. I can't wait! I've never done tourneys or anything like that, maybe I'll have more reason to try it out when I finally get one of these 🙂
I have a 2012 175TF
Have you ever put a spare tire holder on the trailer and if you have can I get a link? Currently I just throw the spare in the truck. I do have the breakaway tongue on my trailer.
Thanks
I have done anything on mine yet. Does yours have the pre drilled holes for a u-bolt? That’s all I have at the moment.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures no it doesn’t have any predrilled holes.
@@jimkaminski871 I’ll see what I can come up with and drop you a link.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures thank you sir.
The frame is just a rectangular steel frame.
Good video very helpful, I do have one question does the boat come carpeted or is the vinyl the only choice
I believe you can get either. I took the vinyl because I didn’t want to wait (I should have waited). I think in the next year or so I’m pulling the vinyl and laying foam or carpet though.
Siiick rig!!
Thanks, sorry I missed this reply.
You said the trolling motor comes out of the water just lower it down adjust it it will slide down probably 6 in
It’s all the way down.. thought that too. That said it’s a non issue now, since it’s being replaced.
Just curious but why did you buy new instead of used.
Honestly, for a couple reasons. First, I couldn’t find anything I loved within my cash budget, and my credit union was more than happy to loan me more money. Second, I really didn’t want to buy direct from someone simply because of the unknown. Sure you could possibly get a great deal, but ultimately you just don’t know. I’m also using this as an opportunity to strengthen my credit so when the time is right I can truly upgrade into my “forever” boat.
@@OkieOutdoorAdventures Yeah the unknowns of a used motor are probably my biggest fear. When you buy these at BPS can you customize the package at all or just get what they give you.
They told me I could add whatever I wanted (at cost of course) and they’d have the tracker folks do it at the shop there. I heard someone say you could only get them stock, but they tried to get me to do all my upgrades then, and add it to my financing.
What was the final number for it
If we’re talking cost, my final number was $22k. I put down $5k cash though so it’s not too bad. My complaint with the number though.. I got charged for upgraded brakes (cool), a customer cover (cool) and still saw charges for the disgusting trolling motor and electronics. All in all though I’m not totally displeased for a 2020 model that has treated me very well. That 75 is a beast for a small boat.
What engine do you have on it?
Merc 75 4 stroke
Very nice man!
Thank you.. work in progress
