Love the looks & room of the 190, however my favorite bass lake has a 25 HP limit. It sucks, but there are no jet ski's, water skiers, sail boats, houseboats, beaches, swimmers, or over the top runabouts. Plus its a power plant lake and seldom freezes. Due to the HP limit my plan is to go with the 175 since it is lighter. Wife is very adamant about getting a second console for her. She talked me into getting a bimini for our current (2008 model) 175 and it does a pretty fair job of keeping the sun off while tooling across the lake. They make Tournament versions of both the 190 and the 175 which adds stuff like a 24v troller, extra battery, bow sonar, bigger charger, etc. The difference in price they list on there website sounds fairly reasonable. Like I said my current Tracker is pushing 10 years old with a 50HP two stroke Merc and I have no complaints. I change the water pump every couple of years and had to have the bunks on the trailer replaced once. I also need to replace the pump-out motor in the live well. I have no complaints on the Tracker. I can pull the drain plug after a day of fishing and nothing comes out unless it rains. I have Boat Buckle tie-downs and consider them a very good investment. I did replace the Motor Guide troller with a new one last spring even thought the original still pushed the boat around OK. I looked at other tin boats and for my money the Tracker brand sets the standards. I do have one question for you Sir. Did you get the electronic brake option on your trailer? Do you think it is necessary on a boat this size? Thanks for taking time to post your video! Lots of helpful information!!!

John thanks for the comment! I definitely agree with everything you had to say, and I’m glad you’re liking your boat, makes me feel good to hear people say they’re still happy with theirs after 10+ years. I did not opt for the trailer braking option, and really don’t feel that it’s necessary on a boat like this. They are a light package. Second console is a must! Fished through a rainstorm yesterday and my co-angler was very thankful I had it while we were running haha.

Just bought a 175 TF in just about the same configuration. Did the same thing with the electronics but I put a Helix 7 on it with mapping. Pretty slick what you did with the lighting. Do yourself a favor, as an upgrade. Get a spare tire. My trolling motor is a 12 volt so I put a second deep cycle battery in. I[m thinking down the road of a 24 volt motor. Will see though. Nice boat. Oh, that second console is awesome. I might try that.

Tom Messimer I appreciate the view and comment! I do have a spare tire, but it’s from my old boat and I don’t have a mount for this trailer currently....just carry it in the truck bed with me for now. I agree, it’s one of the first things everyone should get. Enjoy your 175!

Thanks for info!!! I noticed that you have Troll Motor Blade marks on your paint in front and on your Foot Mat on front from the blade rubbing and hitting the body of the boat. Mine does the same thing with my factory trolling motor that came on my 175 TXW They should have mounted it farther out from the front of the boat to help prevent that. It’s a manufacturer design flaw in my opinion. They need to also stop using Wood Flooring under the Carpet. The wood and or where the flooring mounts is already making a popping sound and moves in and out in certain areas. I got a great deal on mine several years ago so we’ll worth the money. Thanks again for the video

I ran red LED strips full length under the gunnels from rear to front except for the section immediately behind the driver. Adhered to the carpet under the gunnels with 3M adhesive tape. Ran wires up the starboard side and across the bow behind the bow panel to feed the port side LEDs. Also added white LED strips to all 4 sides of every compartment, except the 2 small compartments in the rear, and under the center seats. Installed blue LEDs in the live well. I get lots of compliments on the lights. Having lights inside the storage compartments is really helpful.

@ZachC256 жыл бұрын
Astros Champ for the added length, horsepower capability, and weight capacity, I would say the 190 is well worth the upgrade. In the spec sheet the differences may look minimal between the two, but a foot more of length makes a lot of difference on the water. That being said, if you don’t plan to fish 3 people often or carry a lot of gear, you should be plenty happy with a 175.

Astros Champ depends on how many years, % down, etc. but on this boat with the pro XS, freight/prep, taxes etc. on a 5 year note you’d be in the $400 dollar ballpark. 10 year would be $200 roughly. 10 years isn’t out of the ordinary for boats, although it is a really long time to stretch out payments.
