I have a 1999 pro team 175 with a 40Hp mercury, it is a great little boat, while all my buddies are working on their high end boats im out fishing, i have never had a problem with it at all nothing, in over a year and a half.  Only thing is it is not very fast and not good in rough water, but it is a great small lake boat i love my boat

I have the 2003 Tracker Pro-185 Silver Anniversary Edition with a 50 HP Merc outboard and love it.

This is what I have done to upgrade the boat.

1.  Upgraded the original prop to a nice stainless steel model adding 10% more speed.

2.  Put in a circuit breaker in place of the glass fuse for the trolling motor.

3.  Updated the Motor Guide trolling motor from the 12 volt 47 pounds to a 24 volt 62 pound system.

4.  Added a third battery to get trolling motor up to a 24 volt system.

5.  Upgraded electronics from Hummingbird to Lowrance.

6.  Added a front trolling motor Lowrance sonar unit.

7.  Installed a hangar system to hang baits in two compartments for storage.

8.  Installed Kwik-Drop seat pedistals to raise and lower the seats.

9.  Purchased and installed the Gator Mount original protype from the inventor for the Motor Guide trolling motor.

If you do anything, please consider installing the circuit breaker for the trolling motor.  To change the fuse while fishing is not an easy task and you can get very upset if the fuse blows while fishing.  I know.  It happened to me and the next week I changed the fuse set up for a circuit breaker.

Have fun boating!

I have a 1988 TX-17 bass tracker w/ 75 HP Merc O/B that I got last spring and I love it.

Yes, it is alittle scary in bad weather, 3-4 foot waves but she holds her own.

With the bigger, heavier motor on her she screams right along, but it puts her rear-end in the water a little lower, plus add the person in the back, well ya know, have to watch the water intake. Make sure that you always have a good and operational bilage pump.
