Re: boat and motor help

Tracker has those package deals and it is usually outfitted with the lowest HP. If I was you, I would upgrade to the max size the boat will handle. Many people regret to upgrading at time of purchase. I am only guessing but a 16 foot tracker with a 30, I would guess WOT is 18-20. I had a tracker pro team 17 a few years back with a 60 HP on it and my WOT was 28. Just my opinion on the guess, I could be way off but I don't think so. If your financing, I would also have them outfitt the boat and roll it into the financing then you don't have to go out and start purchasing electronics out of pocket. Good Luck

I would consider upgrading engine. It is a major purchase do your research drive a few. If you are bringing friends and family out you wont be able to get out of your own way.
