Looks like these posts are a few years old. I bought a 189 tracker and have the 115 optimax. Top end would be 50 mph when boating alone. The only issue I have with the boat is the low bow and having water constantly coming in the front. I usually flood this boat every time I go out. It does get cramped with four people. I use it for fishing mainly and tubing. I really like the boat, it performs what I need, lots of space storage etc. The speakers are awful, distorted and muddy. It is an easy to maintain boat, starts every time. The other thing I am not crazy for is the boat cover. So hard to put on in the water. I had a snap on one made and it works so much better and quicker. I would have bought a real Bass boat if I would have known there was only going to be minimal water sports.
I need to remount the fish finder, and I am looking for suggestions for a bow fish finder as I use a lot of trolling motor fishing. Suggestions anyone?
