    18TRX???

    I found a good deal on a left 2017 18TRX with a 200 Merc on it. What can of speed and performance are people getting.

    Also looking at 189TRX with a 150 G2. I don't know much about these. The 10 year warranty is appealing. Is anybody on here running this set up.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a 2018 TRX18 dual console with a 200 Merc, only got the correct prop on a couple days and was running 64 today, fully loaded with 2 guys. Not full throttle or full trim do more to go for sure. It’s on a tandem trailer which is so much better to tow and handles great.
    Heaps of storage in this boat, 70mph is plenty fast enough for me. Very stable to fish out of.

    The 18TRX will run between 68-70mph, great boat, huge decks, fishes like a much bigger boat. You will like it.

    Don't get it with a 150hp. It is a 58mph boat with a 150 on the back. If you want a 150 then get a 189 TRX and save your money

    The 189TRX is also a great boat, it will run in the high 50's close to 60.

    189TRX is a great boat, best bang for the buck right now.

    I miss my old TR186 with a 150.

    I have a 2017 189TRX with a 150 ProXS and it will run 58 with all my gear, 3/4 tank of gas by myself.

    The 189 TrX is rated for up to a 150HP motor. I just spent the weekend at the NYS Boat Show... and helped sell a 189 for my dealer, ironically. LOL
