Thanks for responding Jaime, I have watched a few of your videos, and it looks like your having fun out there. I have had 3 boats, and one of them being a newer model Tracker pt175txw, and it handled the white caps ok where I fish, but felt the 60hp merc was a little under powered. I was planing on something like the pt190 in about 2 more years when my truck is paid for, and thought maybe this heritage model would be something that could get me on the water for the meantime until I can get back into a bigger boat. Where I usually fish I have a window of about 2-4 hours before the winds pick up in the morning and then its time to load up and head for home or work. I'm just a little curious how well this model will do, and how wet one might get.
