[QUOTE="openseat, post: 334109, member: 10379"] Welcome bassin: What you want to do with the boat will determine some of the tradeoffs between the 4 choices you've listed. If you want to stand up fairly often, go with one of the 52 inch bottoms. They will also generally drift shallower than the 48 bottom, given 2 motors of equal weight on the back. The gauge of aluminum used is a big factor if you are likely to hit rocks. The tracker is .100 , and I think the express is too. Blazer and alweld come in either .100 or .080. I'm not much of mechanic, so I would be better off saving for a new motor over the winter, instead of going through that 150hp with 25 years on it. My guess is you'd probably have fun in any of these 4, so don't sweat the decision to much. [/QUOTE]
