Alumacraft vs Bass Tracker

[aaronoutdoors]

Rear stability test cracked me up. Dude went hard on the tracker with his weight and barely laid his foot on the alumacraft. Boats are the same it comes down to price.

Here's the biggest deal breaker. Evinrude is out of business

You moved more to the edge on the tracker than on the alumacraft that may account for the tippiness.

[danielwebb]

Price? Left out the most important part.

This video did one thing for me, solidify my love for tracker! I will take an Alumacraft if you give it to me though. I understand that you are bias, but doing the tests the way you did, in favor of the Alumacraft, in fact made the Alumacraft look worse. Lol

[bigisnjr]

Why was your stance so wide when you showed the "tippyness" of the alumacraft but your feet were together, adding more weight in the tracker? Bias maybe?

You could buy two of the trackers (almost) for one of the Alumacraft boats. They are very nice but for most people the Tracker will do everything they want for years.

Nothing better then a dealer giving us a review of the competition!!!

In 2007 I purchased a 197mag Triton Aluminum boat with 150 Optimax, the boat was rated up 200 hp motor, the max with of the bost was 92 inches, this boat was fast, hole shot was unbelievable, holeshit planning was instant. If I pulled up along side of a Ranger boat with a 200 hp engine I could stay with him rarely easy, my rod locker were unbelievable Large size, plus I had 2 Rod lockers, plus lot locker storage. The was also easy on fuel economy. 60 gallon tank.it was Solid Aluminium boat, built with 125 Aluminum. Had friends with ranger boats and I had more storage area then there boats. Unbelievable boat, never any. problem. Go Triton

I saw no difference in stability, the transom on the Tracker slopes down toward the gunnels while the Alumacraft slopes up. The only real advantage the Alumacraft has is the lack of wood.

2 stroke vs Economy 4 stroke = obvious results.

It's a trade off, the 4 stroke will still have decent compression in 5yrs.

Someone always has to point out the negative side of a video. I enjoyed the video it's very informative and to note I do not own a boat and will use the info in my decision on these brand of boats. Thanks for the video

[johnschauder]

I e never heard anyone mention less deck space and spin it as a positive…kudos to you, sir. You are a great salesman.

[Twangtown]

The rear view in the water...you can tell the guy put all his weight on the Tracker's corners but not the Alumacraft. Lol

A good comparison review. Of course, some bias is going to creep in, at least he admitted up front that they sell Alumacraft. Some of these comments sound like some butt hurt tracker owners, and I don't see them say that they might have a bit of bias themselves. Since I don't own either one I was more interested in the feature comparison. It would have been interesting to compare the boat weight of both as well... wood and fiberglass are pretty heavy. No rotted decks on the Alumacraft ever. As someone who has replaced rotted wood a few times that is worth a lot right there.


Finally, if you total both boats you have $$ in scrap metal with the Alumacraft, while you will pay to take the fiberglass to the dump.

The hatches get wet inside on an alumacraft, my tracker has a lip inside that keeps water out and everything inside dry.

[trapin]

For all the Alumacraft detractors in here....yeah, Tracker sells a lot of boats, but the people who buy Trackers usually have them up for sale a few years later. Take a trip over to Craigslist or Boat Trader and compare how many used (4-5 year old) Trackers are for sale compared to Alumacraft and Lund. Lots of Trackers for sale but you'll be hard pressed to find an Alumacraft or Lund for sale that isn't 20-25 years old. Ask yourself why that is.

I have a 2008 alumacraft with a 115 Yamaha 2 stroke on it motor run like brand new still and the boat doesn't leak a drop great boat

[RatBonez]

Tracker dry storage boxes take on water in the rain. Probably why 90% of used boats are Trackers a few years old. Pretty obvious people buy them and then soon after wish they hadnt. Thankfully I know plenty of Tracker owners who talked me out of buying one.

The txw is a different boat than the tw that you used for the tracker... you also compared a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke ... I dont know about the tw model but the txw gets roughly 35 with a 3 blade prop fully tournament loaded and 2 adults
