[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 202029, member: 4585"] I agree with Mr. Simon, The reason I suggest the Alumacraft is because when I was looking at the Tracker 1542 VS Alumacraft 1542, I found that the tracker did not have the ribs going up the sides of the boat. The only thing holding the sides up is the bench seats. Also the tracker 1542 is made of .53 Aluminum and the Alumacraft is made of .70 I thought for the same price I could get a little stronger boat. Thats what I did. If I remember right the Tracker 1436 is only made of .53 Aluminum while the the Alumacraft 1436 are made of .63 Aluminum. Not much difference in thickness but combine that with the extra supports of the ribs running up the sides and its a considerably stonger boat. Not sure where you planning on buying from, but check out Academy Sports and Outdoors if you have one near you. Thier prices on Alumacraft Jon boats are waaaaaay below dealer prices. The local Alumacraft dealer wanted $1,400.00 for a 1542! Academy had it for $997.00 That is a heck of a savings. food for thought.... [/QUOTE]
