    It's very simple.  If a company manufactures and sells three times as many boats as any other, it stands to reason that there would be three times more of them on the "used" market than any other.

And how many tracker/nitro boats were sold during those years?  What percentage of those sold had problems?  Come on man, if you're going to post, give relevant details.

    Here's an update.  I too am going the route of using a dealer rather than BPS stores.

     

    Last year I called to make an appointment to get the boat/motor winterized.  Was told they no longer make appointments.  They winterize them on a first come, first served basis.  Was also told they had a four week backup on boats to be winterized.  I could leave my boat and they'd call me when it was done.

     

    Sorry, I told them but I'm not leaving my boat anywhere for routine service when I will have to leave it on their property for four weeks.  Wouldn't do it for one week.  I asked if they could put my name on the list and I'd bring the boat in a day ahead of time when my number came up.  Nope, they couldn't do that.  So off to the local Nitro/Tracker dealer which is a half hour closer than the BPS supermarket.  Bring it in, and I could pick it up the next day.

     

    Service matters.

    I don't blame you at all.  You would think they could give you a one to three day advance notice of when they had a slot open.

    I bought on old 1998 used Nitro Savage 896 DC 8 years ago. I have had no problems with the boat at all. It had been left out in the Fl. sun before I got it and the gel coat had discolored but it performs great. I had issues with the motor but that is not a Nitro problem.

    I have never heard anything but great stuff about Nitro personally. Most Nitro boat owners I've talked to have either bought Nitro boats for years, or had been aspiring to get a Nitro and worked up from cheaper used boats to get there over many years.
