So still thinking of a new tin boat maybe this year maybe early next and really having some issues with decisions. Here are some pros and cons for each. If I am wrong let me know or if you have different feedback I would appreciate it.
Tracker 195: Pros: Love the layout and storage and price, lots of choices used Cons: No jackplate option (I think it voids the warranty) no padded hull
Xpress Prox18 with a 150: Pros: Jackplate for sure, .0125 aluminum, Seadeck option, and rod layout Cons: Does not seem to have a lot of front storage, options prices are set by dealer if new, can't find any new at dealers (have to be ordered from Xpress through a dealer), can't find any used
Ranger: Pros: Lots of options if new, a lot of used at good prices, Padded hull Cons: I hate the center rod storage. HATE IT! Almost a deal breaker
Vexus 1980: Not really thinking of one
Crestliner MX19: Pros Look Great, I Like the layout Cons: can't find used, $$$$ at bare bones
