Looking for a recommedation.
Is the Grizzly tracker the best one. I would also like to know a price on one with trailer. No motor.

Many good brands just buy one that hasn't been abused. After 4th of July prices get good. Check Craigslist daily. Where you at? I've got a good 18ft Tracker all fish modified V w/90 Mercury I'm thinking about selling. Will be under $10k

Thanks Ds, I am in the Rocky mount. West. Unfortuanately my budget is pretty low and I already have a couple of motors that I think will work. I would love something along the lines of what you have though. Trade for a Scar? Wink

A 1648 list for $3300 wo trailer.

Not sure of your location but I really like the War Eagle boats made just up the road from me in Arkansas. Have been to their factory and like the process they use. Just sold our deck boat as it was too big to really fish out of and have been looking at the really wide Jon Boat style. Don't have any prices yet as I haven't started to look in earnest.

I have a 'Grizzly', about 20 years old, no issues. My motor is a 15hp Yamaha.

I'd evaluate by hull thickness, there may well be other similar boats out there. There are times when lightweight is a factor, like loading solo in the bed of a truck.

Mine is a 16' on a trailer.

Thanks guys. BP, yes I have seen some War Eagles on the net. I almost bought one the other day and had it shipped from Tn. I hesitated and it was sold. They are nice but out here they are like hens teeth. I don't even think there is a dealer with in a thousand miles or more. Lowes, alumacraft and crestliner are more common out here. Don't really know about theIr quality.
