You get what you pay for.
Tracker had some quality control issues and was famous for selling a boat/motor combo for a killer price. Problem was the outboard was way to small for our elevation.
You lose appx. 3-4% of an engines power for every 1k of elevation above sea level, unless it is supercharged of course.
Any boat that runs great at sea level will barely perform at Strawberry for example.
My point is, avoid any boat with too small of motor.
Do yourself a favor and test drive at least 3 or 4 brands of boats before you purchase.
I don't think any experienced boat owner would dispute this advice.
