    Tracker v-18

    2005 tracker v-18 can it’s transom handle two power poles/ or talons and a jack plate plus a 150 mercury 4 stroke.
    When I say handle I mean no doubt will cause any issues or won’t weigh the boat down to much in the back

    Made before power poles, .100 tin. I'd spend that money on an Ultrex.

    Ok I already have one talon but you don’t think I should push it?

    I dont know if the transom will structurally handle
    that much weight, but I know what it will do, the bow will be pointed
    into the heavens and your boat will fly like a kite when fishing.
    I would opt for the MK Ulterra or Ultrex, and use the anchor feature
    LDS.

    You should be able to get total weight rating on the transom from Tracker. I believe your transom is rated for a kicker.

    The Tournament V18 cannot take a kicker. However, the all fish version of this boat will take a kicker.
