Looking into buying a Bass Tracker Pro 175 txw. I also found a 2005 Fisher Pro Hawk 170 with a 90 horse for a pretty good price. The Bass Tracker is a 2004 model with a 50 horse. Both are the same price. As I understand it, they are made by the same company.

Anyone have experience with Fisher boats? Specifically around that 2005 era. I've read of people having problems with the welds on the Fisher models, but have heard the same about bass tracker. Go figure. Either way, I want yall's opinion. Also want some tips as to what to look for on the hull of each boat. Both gentleman are the original owners and both say they've never had a problem. I understand as well, used boats are used boats.

Thanks in advance!

Have you had a user name @ iboats before?

I tried to send you a PM, but was directed to a
bcjjones (No period) profile.

Is that you too? Old acct, lost password or no longer have access to the email acct you used back then?

I dont believe so? Unless I made an account a long time ago and forgot. I haven't changed emails in the past 5 years though

Only in that you probably cant get or send PMs and the 2 accts are linked in the system under the No period acct, which is inactive, not yours.

Does this look familiar

The No period acct was last used a while ago, fall of 2011, joined in Aug 2010...

if you recognize it, I can have them combined under this acct, W the period.

If not I'll have them severed and the inactive No period acct closed.

except possibly forgetting you already registered and posted, not a problem. Its on our end otherwise, and we need to fix it.

fixing it will allow you access to PMs...

my PM to you was simply to ask the same question....

If you dont think its you, I'll send a message to have them severed and close the No period acct.

I'll post when its done. I'm traveling Tues and Thurs thru Sun this week, but I should have service most of the time....

I've not owned either boat but I have fished from a Fisher boat and liked it. With the price being the same for the same size boat I would go for the Fisher with the 90 HP motor over the under powered BT.
