I have an oportunity to buy a PT 185 bass tracker for a pretty good price, it is a 2003 model and a 90 horse tracker / merc engine ( I think). I have been looking for a 18 to 20 foot jon boat to use for pleasure and some fishing in the Mississippi river. If I can buy the 2003 PT 185 tracker for less money than a 1999 18 foot deep wide jon boat with a 60 horse would it work very well for just cruising the river? I am thinking I may want to take some friends and family out sometimes. Maybe a total of 4 adults 2 or 3 kids under 10 years old. I haven't looked at the tracker yet, I have just been told about it. Thanks. Oh, I forgot to ask, what are the possibilities of removing some of the decking ahead of the console to add a couple of seats on each side. I would be willing to spend the money to do it right if it is not to excesive. Thanks again.
