Default Anyone have any experience with the Tracker Avalanche

I am looking into a Tracker Avalanche and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them and recommendations.

LOL, I wish. But then I'd need a bigger garage.

Doc, I have a 2005 Avalanche.

Bassfisher, also on this board, has a 2003, I believe.

Both of us consider them a great boat. Handles well, very wide (96" beam) and stable, big decks...a good fishable platform. Fit and finish is fair. One big plus is you'll constantly have to be explaining to people it isn't fiberglass.

One big thing I would point out is, don't even think about getting one with less than a 135 on the back. I have a 115, and it isn't too bad (mid 40's), but I usually wish I had more. Bassfisher has a 150, and his really moves (60's).

Feel free to ask more here or PM me. I'm always happy to lure another into the coolest Aluminum boat ever.

The Avalanche and Tundra are my two favorite boats Tracker ever made. Avalanches are hard to find, but i really would like to have one.

Bryce, how does your boat do in rough water? Dry ride?

It seems pretty dry, but I honestly don't have much to compare it to. You do get the occasional refreshing spray when the chop is up.

Late for the party again.

I love my 2002 duel console, W/150 XR-6 Merc on the back. It has me spoiled.

When I picked up my boat from Tracker the other day from spring tune-up, I saw a 2011 Tracker Grizzly. See link: http://www.trackerboats.com/boat/?boat=3361

The 2270CC is the one I saw, me like!!
