I have a 2000 Tracker Deep V17. Like others said it is a good entry level boat, it is my first big boat purchase. I have a 2006 90 hp Optimax on this one and I would definitely recommend the Extra power. it does about 40 mph max
Overall fish-ability is pretty good and it is plenty good for lakes around the area and performs well on the st. croix river when the wind is under 15mph. Rod storage is not very good in my opinion and I rarely use the rod locker due to the layout and accessibility (the passenger chair gets in the way and 7ft. plus rods you have to flex the tip in order to get them in) I haven’t been on big water with it but would suspect a little extra beam width would be nice. other storage, live well and bait well, are in good locations
