Howdy, About the Tracker.... From experience I would go with an all welded boat as wide as possible, for stability. And 17 ft is OK... but a 10 horse power motor I believe will get you in trouble on a large lake. My suggestion is... Look around, their are lots of good used boats out there, and find one thats suits your type of sport and taste... and think about the elements you might get into. A strong healthy motor can get you out of some misery. Go with electric start and a console and deep, wide, and welded.<br><br>
