Three years ago I bought a 2003 16 foot Tracker. It would have been the perfect boat for my needs, but it was way under powered and wouldn't get up on plane with the 40 HP Mercury on it. It was rated for up to a 90 HP motor. I looked into re-powering it but that was way to expensive.
I would pull the drain plug at the end of a long day of fishing, and I never had a drop of water come out.
Great boat, just under powered, so consider the motor HP before you buy.
I should add that I sold the boat, and made sure that the buyer knew about the under power issue. He had owned several boats and figured it was under powered, and his plan was to re-power it.
