          this is what i did last fall, found an older man that had a 2010 fx20 he bought new, was dusty due to it being his spare boat last several years but low hours and with the crazy market was best i found

            Yes, I’m for this too. Everyone should buy a bass boat. I shopped for one last year. No plans to buy one in the near future but it was fun to dream and design . Good luck
            For what it’s worth, I designed a nice Phoenix if you want to purchase it and I’ll only charge a design fee!

              I’d take a hard look at the triton that is in the classifieds if I were in the bass boat market.

                  As others have said a glass with be more stable, however, if you do choose aluminum I would look into something other than a tracker (poor quality/design), the newer xpress xSeries would be my choice of aluminum. Either will work just fine, I have a 17' tracker I fish derbys from but its not ideal on rough days, the ultrex is my only saving grace.

                    There are some good tin boats out there like Xpress or GatorTrax but Tracker is junk, go with the Triton hands down.

                        I wouldn't say Tracker is complete junk, but, there is ZERO comparison between Tracker and an X21....or GT Strike Series... or the ProV 2075 Lund. All 3 of those boats are simply in a different league when it comes to Al. When you exam any of them up close they are very, very impressive.

                          Bass boats are not popular at all up here in the Rockies.
                          Around here, you will find Lund, Ranger (not the bass boat models) and Crestliner as the three most popular fishing boats.
                          They handle bigger, rough water really well and are very nice to fish out of.
                          That is what I would be looking for if I was buying one right now.

                            Wound up ordering a Triton TRX. Went with a little bigger boat (19) than I was originally looking at. Been looking for used for a while, and anything late model used in good shape is selling for almost as much as new, so figured to heck with it and ordered one rigged the way I
                            Wanted it.

                              BIG congrats! That's a nice boat and the 19 is on a dual axle....i think anyway....hehehe.

                              How long did they estimate until delivery?
