Firefish Alumacraft Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Well after a year of owning a Tracker Pro Angler 16 with a 40hp Merc I loved the boat but with having a family that likes to cruse or fish, My father and I picked up a 2015 (new) Alumacraft 175 Competitor sport with a 2016 115hp Merc. I ordered a Minkotta with the basic V2 from Cabela's in Indiana. They worked with us on the price and got close to 700 in reward points for great. Ill pick it up in two weeks or when its ready Quote
Super User slonezp Posted December 16, 2015 Super User Posted December 16, 2015 Nice boat. May I suggest you skip the V2 and get the Terrova. I promise you will hate the foot control on the V2. If you do want the V2, you will be better off with the Ipilot hand control. I've owned both and would never own or recommend the basic V2 to anyone. 4 Quote
Firefish Alumacraft Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 I didn't get the Ipilot because I was over my budget. I was told that if I wanted to add it on later its a 499$ kit. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted December 16, 2015 Super User Posted December 16, 2015 The kit is easy to install if you do go that route. Enjoy your new rig Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted December 16, 2015 Super User Posted December 16, 2015 Congrats on the New Rig Best of Luck going forward. A-Jay Quote
Firefish Alumacraft Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 Just these two pics. for now. Ill grab some soon when I pick her up 2 Quote
tander Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Congrats on the new boat, i am sure you and your family will enjoy it. I think Alumacraft is a great brand. 1 Quote
Firefish Alumacraft Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks, Newer pic, getting everything switch over from the tracker to the Aluma. I have to say " the tracker has about the same amount of storage room as the Aluma but the Aluma has smaller compartments then the tracker making it somewhat challenging to store everything with out taking up rod storage. What would help is getting better life jackets and dropping the cheep large orange neck wrap style. 3 Quote
