    Does the deck height at the bow look really high to anyone else? I don't think I could reach the water if I kneeled down to grab a fish. It looks like they had to lower the TM all the way down to reach the water also.

    I think the trolling motor shaft presents an optical illusion where it meets the surface of the water and creates a reflection...thus making it appear to be longer than it actually is.

    I see what you are saying. The reflection is a little deceiving. But the TM is lowered all the way down. Typically you don't need to lower it all the way down which results in the head of the TM sticking up higher above the mount. This TM appears to be lowered down as far as it can go. The only reason I can think that it would be lowered all the way down is to compensate for a really high deck height.

    ... or it could just be an illusion and nobody took the time to properly adjust the TM height.

    Front end looks like my old 2008 Ranger TR177, had the Vhull with the rounded/squared nose on the top cap.

    great pic depending on pricing and performance numbers.

    Performance numbers hasn't been discussed so as much as I like the energy we still have a way to go boys. My feet are back on the ground and keeping it real. Ranger, Triton and others make some nice tin boats too.

    Need numbers ... how fast is it? If it’s not fast it’s just another boat.

    Hull looks like the old Tracker Avalanche. No weld on the bottom of the sidewall. I like it.

    Its an aluminum boat, nature of the beast.

    going fast is probably the last thing in a fishing boat most look for. They are first and foremost a fishing boat. Wanna go fast get a blown jet boat.

    if it's not a pad hull its only gonna be so fast.

    So you think it might not be a pad hull?? Ive noticed in the vids the hull doesn't seem to generate much lift while on plane so Ive been wondering what the running surface is? I assumed it was a padded hull but maybe not??

    It definitely is a pad design or it would be running much flatter in the pics I've seen. Nothing new about that, Xpress has been doing that for years. There are only so many ways to change the looks of a boat and few of them add or subtract from the performance aspect. Nice looking boat, but I think it will be premium priced. If anyone was waiting for a boat to be priced with a Tracker, forget it. Only a Lund will be in the same price category and they really are different designs being deep Vs.

    Is it possible that what I saw was maybe a fiberglass top capp matched to an aluminum hull? In the bow it kinda look that way.

    Lund makes the 1775 & 1875 renegade mod v's in the Tracker mod v price range, and so does Ranger, Crestliner, Polar Kraft, Lowe, and G3

    Finally! A tin boat that doesn't look like a tin boat. Great lines!

    The more I look at the pictures of it, the more I see a Champion transom on it.
