[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 369797, member: 6843"] Has anyone seen what they did to the new tracker 1542 topper jon boats?They actually brought the ribs up the side now to strengthen the boat,finally a good move from tracker i think.I'm not to high on tracker bottom end boats but since they put that new hard paint finish and the new structure with the ribs i believe for the price of $1199 is pretty good and i may actually take a hard look at buying one now.My issue was i just didn't like the way it was built as far as the ribs not going all the way up the sides,cheap paint and the seats feeling very cheap to me but i just went to bass pro shops this last weekend and i was amazed at the structure change at least with the ribs.I was going for the 1542 alumacraft but they have gone through the roof at near $1600 or more and the tracker would be like $1300 out the door,plus it has a live well so i'm leaning towards a new tracker. Anyone see what i'm talking about here?Def not a bad boat for the price now.I always thought the outside shell of the boat was built well but everything else seemed cheap to me and for good reason as they were only $999 at the time.I understand they are just a production boat,a reg beat it up nothing special jon boat as most jon boats are.Imo tracker has upped it's game a bit better at least with the 1542.
