[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 197782, member: 4585"] Before you pull the trigger on the Tracker check out the AlumaCraft (in person if possible cause their website sucks). I got mine from Academy Sports for $997.00 brand new. The tracker is a fine boat but the ribs only support the floor and on the AlumaCraft they go up the sides as well. The AlumaCrafts are about $1,400.00 at a boat dealer or retail. But like I said I got mine from Academy for a lot less. Academy's website lists it as a 1440 and shows a pic of the older 2009 1540. You can tell the difference becuase not only is it 2 inches wider on the floor but it also has the extra material on the rear deck/back bench seat that helps to support the transom. I made sure to have them take me in the back to see what it really was because when I was looking at Alumacrafts website there is no mention of a 1540 only the 1542. As I suspected it was the 1542 that I ended up buying. Lots of guys have the Tracker 1542 and are very happy with it. I just wanna help you get the best deal for your money. [/QUOTE]
