I had 2 of their Jon boats and both of them had warped bottoms. You could sight down them and see how bad it was. They were warped so bad that when you tried to trim up the motor even a smidgin, they would bounce so bad it would beat your teeth out. I’m talking hitting the trim button more than 2 quick bumps. Gave them back to the dealer and bought a triton Jon. Nice hull on it and would run perfect. You could trim that hull way up and she would run awesome. My cousin bought a tracker and had same issue. The dealer ended up putting a wedge on the motor to bring it down even at a steeper angle to get it to run even semi ok. I will never own another one.

Thanks for the reply. Two in a row? that’s some bad karma. I must say that the one I owned would porpoise if you trimmed it up too high… Knock it down a bit when it started “purposing” (sp?)and no problem. I found mine was a little heavy in the arese end moved the trolling battery and cooler up front and it helped a ton.

No problem. Tracker is a cheap boat the appeals to the masses who don’t have an appreciation for how boats are supposed to handle. I got such a bad taste after dealing with their customer service department that I vowed never to go down that road again. There sure are a lot of them out there, but so are a lot of Bayliners. I put them in the same category.
