I just bought a 2024 Tracker Classic XL. The cost of the fish I catch and eat fishing from this boat went from $750.00 per lb to around $300.00 per lb. This was the 15th fishing boat I have bought.
Really like ur take man on the tracker, I feel the same way, 'dam man i got my own boat', every time i look at my 2019 tracker pro 160, got it pristine with 12hrs on the merc40 for under 11k. Put almost 50hrs on the motor the first summer, fell in love with the simplicity, compact 'ness', ease of towing long distances, fuel consumption, etc. Ive island camped with the woman and a 70lb lab no prob, just pack efficiently. Not to mention i can get in the backwaters of WI better than most. Also had it on Superior and it did just fine in the big water, just have to know how to drive a boat, lol, like u said. Thanks man! I should add that I've had 0 issues with the boat and love the versatrack, yakattack and railblaza stuff works great in that track.
Thanks buddy appreciate you watching and all the feedback! It really is a great boat I’m glad you feel the same about yours as I do mine! If your not already subscribed you should especially if you like bass tracker classic xl content I actually just posted my 3 year review video!
My 2020 bass tracker classic xl is a dream come true. Paid cash for it $13,505 out the door in May 2020 and I don't regret the decision. I have 157.3 hrs on it and it's still worth the money spent.
I had my first tracker in 1994 just sold it. I now have a used 2021. I just love it that 50 hr 4 stroke is a major up grade for me vs the 25 hr 2 stroke this thing flys I’m very happy with it but you’re right not a lot of room but it’s just a very reliable boat
It really is a reliable boat I’ve taken to all different size lakes and I’ve caught a ton of bass in it! It’s been good to me for sure.Thanks for watching appreciate it buddy.
I agree with you. I looked at those Bass Trackers , they are pretty nice. The pros have those Nitro boats with 27 rods laying on the deck. You don't know that. I carry 4 rods, 6 tackle cases, anchor, net, and about to install a Garmin. It's a $400 Tamarack pro 10' kayak, that's a poor man's bass boat!
@@BredForBass cool cool cool, my problem is why do I always hook the biggest fish on my smallest pole on my boat 😂 Hooked a 2ft+ hybrid on my micro set up I usually use for Perch. It nailed a 3" powerbait pogy swinbait
I love my boat 200% wouldn’t change it for anything. You’re the 🐐 with upgrades. You have Great ideas very informative and helpful. I know poor people and they don’t have boats. So 🖕🏽 whoever hates on it.
I bought my classic a bit after you did. I looked at the ranger tin boat and the crestliner and honestly, the classic was a significantly better value. I've added a deck extension, extra battery for trolling motor, bimini top, ladder, some steps on the trailer and made it more handicap accessible for my mom and have an awesome fishing/putzing around the lake boat. It's been an amazing boat and holy crap, does it load and unload easy! I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!
Only thing I’m worried about is the trailer. I understand it has the tracker “galvashield” but I do fish brackish water here in south louisiana and it can’t helped it’s just how it goes. I plan to do a fresh water hose down after use but just not sure.
I got a little rust on mine already by the winch it’s definitely not the greatest trailer by any means but other then that little rust spot it’s held up great so far and I fish alot.I also don’t fish any water with salt mixed in so there’s that as well
I have the same model. I never would have went to a bass boat from a deep v, but the bigger deep section open sold me. I fish on big water often, I dont like the full casting decks where you are always on top, no where to walk inside the boat. My dad is in his 70's now and he likes to sit facing back on the front seat with his legs in the lower section.
I can understand that as well I extended my deck for the extra storage more then anything.It would be nice to have that extra floor space sometimes I definitely agree.
that was a great video. Love your honesty and style. I have owned trackers, tritons, rangers and a few larger type cruisers. Wife and I are getting older and just want to fish small water with no stress.... we pick up our Tracker Classic this week and can't wait. and after hearing your review, know we are doing the right thing for us... thanks for the insight.... looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. 🙂
That’s awesome man I appreciate the kind words.It’s been a great boat to me one of the best decisions I ever made.Hope you and your wife enjoy it as much as I have.Stay safe out there have a good day 👍
Great review!.. These boats only gets better with every passing year if you take care of them as the price goes up.. 😆 Original $9,995 Club here.. Going strong for 5 yrs now but who's counting..😎🍺
@@BredForBass Thanks! 5, 10, 100 or 1 Million.. Just trying to spred the love for these boats and have fun sharing my experiences with those who watch! 😎🍻 You should go to the tournament in MAY! 🎣🤷♂️ You can haul ass there after your shindig..👍
@@stephansmithoutdoors wish I could but But my vacation time limited I’m burning a week one my get together then I got a trip to lake Norman 3 weeks later.
Great video and review, very informative. How is this boat for stability in situations like getting on and off the boat from the courtesy dock? I'm 6'3", 250 lbs and don't want to have issues about boat wobble getting into or out of boat.
The boat wobbles for sure it’s not so bad you feel like the boat is going to tip but I’m 330lbs and fish out of it comfortably.Could it be better? Yes but for the price it’s good enough for me
Agree, every boat wobbles a little. I'm going back to a boat (from a Yamaha waverunner) and this boat seems to be a good size for what I want (can keep in the garage with my motorcycle and yet still get out on the lake for fishing). Thanks for the quick feedback, I need to check out some of your other videos.
This is very helpful, thanks for making this video! I was looking at this boat or the 175. I don't know if I could get the 175 new, but I could get a used one with whatever used boat problems that comes with. I can afford the Classic brand new. I keep bouncing back between them. I have a wife and a kid and a dog. Would they all fit in the Classic? I've sat in them at Bass Pro and it seems like they would, at least in my head. I can't make up my mind. We'd be using it in smaller Texas lakes, nothing crazy big.

Just bought my first boat. 2020 classic xl. Glad I found your videos. There is storage under my seats too but could definitely use more.
That’s awesome buddy! It’s a great boat enjoy it I still love mine no complaints!
This is my dream boat it would be perfect for me and my daughter!!!
It’s been really good to me buddy I’ve caught alot of fish and created a lot of memories in this boat thanks for watching!

Picking my new 23 up at BPS in Manteca CA on Monday I'm so excited lol
That’s awesome! I’ll never forget the day I picked mine up!! Enjoy it buddy
Dylan how much they get you for?
picking mine up this week as well, am so excited to be getting back on the water. wishing you all the best with our boat and fishing adventures.
Literally just bought one… and you’re saying everything I was thinking while signing that paperwork. Can’t wait to rip some lips in my Classic!
That’s awesome buddy!! Enjoy it best decision I ever made!

Honestly a nitro is considered the poor man’s fiberglass boat 😂 I carry 9 rods but could probably get away with 5.

Would have been nice to have shown the boat. Before, during and after mods.
