Probably not but maybe with trim tabs.

I gotta believe that would be a lot less exciting than a pontoon boat.

Welcome to iboats.

Boy, that is alot of boat and not much motor, I think with a well distributed load and just you in the boat it should get right on the edge of planing, don't know the Tracker line but if this boat has casting decks, livewells ect it will be really close.

If you are going to run that combo for long make sure it is propped correctly.

Yes it will plane but, not be very fast. That is what Tracker sells as a package. Great little fishing rig for lakes and rivers.

Re: fishfusummerton

anything's possible--but not necessarity probable.

If you want a rig that runs well on a plane, that's not it.

Tracker shows the 2012 175 TXW is optioned for a 25HP, but for some odd reason they don't have any speed stats on that hull/motor combo.... I bet it's a dog with any load more than a single skinny dude, minimal fuel and gear, especially since the hull's max HP rating is 75.
