I have been running my Tracker Pro 170 with a Mercury 40HP Jet for 7 years now, had no issues on the shallow rivers - Allegheny / Cuyahoga / Etc..... This has a Mod V Hull

I want to upgrade to the Tracker Pro Team 195, with a Mercury 150HP XS - and convert it to a Jet. Looked at the boat today, it is also Mod V, but has a much more V bow until it goes flat.

Static Draft is NOT much more than my current rig, and with the jet foot versus prop, should be even less.

Any advice here? I just know my current rig has almost no issues on these rivers - but I want the extra speed and storage of the bigger boat, but want to ensure I will be good on the river. I also know it will handle MUCH better on Lake Erie, which I do fish weekly.

Thoughts? Any advice or criticism is greatly appreciated, THANKS!!!!

Spent 1 night already, going out again this weekend for round 2! I cannot wait to do a long roadtrip / fishing trip!!!!

I have some freight cars that run like crap no matter what. Changed out trucks, couplers, adjusted the body, etc.

They just will not run right or stop their constant issues.

What do I do with them

Saw them tonight for the first time ever in Cleveland. Holy Fuck. That is all.

PS - Ken and Greg (didnt meet Kellii) are super chill and amazingly friendly
