So I am looking to buy my first real boat (not a Jon) and have decided on tracker as my brand of choice. I have narrowed it down to the Pro 170 or Pro 175 TXW. Both fit my needs as far as person capacity and both are geared towards bass fishing.
I'm not really sure if the 175 is worth the extra cost, my budget allows for the 170 pretty easily but the 175 is a bit on the high side of my budget. I fish mainly small rivers in my area and the largest lake I will be fishing in is Lake Gaston. The only other uses my family will use the boat for is me and the wife and kids just going out for a swim or maybe some tubing / knee boarding. I will use the boat not only for Largemouth but also Striper fishing in the winter (I live on the coast so my rivers carry lots of large Stripers at certain times of the season.
Firstly has anyone had any real experience with tracker boats and how were they? Secondly is the 175 worth the jump in price?

Thanks for any opinions in advance,
