Just wondering if anyone on here has the Bass Pro Shop auto/manual 24 inflatable life jacket? It's the one that sells for $114.99. If so how is it? I've read that some inflatable vests will deploy if stored in a storage compartment that might get damp/wet. Thanks for any input.

I have a Ranger RT188 and it came with a Minn Kota Edge TM. I hate the lift ropes on TM's because they seem to break and always at a bad time. Yesterday I changed the rope and put on a G-Force TM cable. After installing it I noticed the package had on it ; not recommended for MK Edge. Just...

I've been looking at the Ranger RT188 and have been reading a lot about it. I've read a few posts, not necessarily on here, about some people having problems with the paint chipping and also just peeling off in spots. Has anyone else ran across this or actually had it happen to their boat? I...

I've been looking at some tin boats. I've looked at the Tracker PT190TX, Crestliners VT18, and the Ranger RT188. I've narrowed it down to the Crestliner and Ranger. Both boats have the same beam and the Ranger is 3" longer. Other than the 3" and "cosmetics" they seem to be similar. The Ranger...

Just wondering if anyone has one or is at least familiar with the Crestliner VT18. I've been looking at new aluminum bass boats. So far I've seen the Tracker PT190TX, Ranger RT188 and I might go check out a Crestliner VT18. I haven't been able to test any of them so I've been trying to get info...

I haven't seen the Tracker PT 175 or 190 other than on the "net". I think the 190 is about 1 foot longer and they both have a beam of 89". My question is since the 190 is a foot longer, is there more room on the front deck? I realize it's probably larger in length but I'm curious about the...

I'm thinking about getting a Tracker later in the season. I've been reading about the PT 190 and also the PT 195. If anyone has either or have fished out of one I'd appreciate your input. Which model(190 or 195), which motor, speed, stability while standing fishing, etc.. Thank you for any input.

Has anyone fished out of the Tracker 195 TXW or Ranger RT188. I do like the maximum HP the Tracker is rated for but I'm interested in the stability of both boats. I have a 17 1/2 foot Alumacraft and its stability is pretty bad when trying to stand to fish. It's not much better using a butt seat...

I have a Minn Kota Edge 55 on my 17 1/2' Alumacraft. The motor has the Wedge 2 on it which has "ears" at the tip of each blade. Would there be a difference in thrust if I switched to the MKP-37 prop, one without the "ears"? On the Edge the lower speeds(1-4)have normal differences in speed or...

I have a 2002 Alumacraft 17 1/2' bass boat. I'm trying to get some ideas to help out with storage. I have 2 boat bumpers I'd like to store and a good place to keep the throw cushion. Right now the cushion is taking up space in the tackle compartment on the front deck. I keep the bumpers in a...

I have a 17 1/2 Alumacraft bass boat with a Yamaha 80 hp outboard. The boat rides fine but at full trim it porpoises to the point I have to trim it down quite a bit. Before it starts porpoising it hits about 38 mph. Has anyone tried a Stingray Stinger hydrofoil(clip on)and if so does it help...

I bought a 2002 Alumacraft Invader. Just below the driver's seat there is a control that has Empty/Auto on it. I'm not sure what it's for. On the console there is a control for the bilge and one for the areator. Any help on this? The control is round. You turn the knob to either Empty or Auto.

My 1st post so I'm hoping I put it in the right place. I'm looking to buy a used aluminum bass rig. I've looked at 2002 Alumacraft so far and I'm going to check out a Tracker. What I'd like is one around 17' in length and at least a 82" beam, minimum of 50 HP. Here's what info I have so far...
