There's very little water in your area not considered big water that pounds the crap out of tin boats. I would be very carefull buying local. Google Tracker warranty issues. Learn to spot boat show models under horse power half size trailer tiny trolling motor and don't even consider these models.

Friendly reminder that amendments to the Invasive Species Act have come into place as of Jan 1, 2022. So make sure those drain plugs are out and your trailer isn't carrying 500lbs of weeds before putting it into the water I'm really surprised it took this long to have a law like this in place. For me personally this will be a non issue, all I gotta do is swap locations of my drain plug to make this easier (currently installed inboard). Maybe add a chain or something in case it comes out (doubtful). It's a rarity my trailer comes out of the water with any weeds on it (Sans for one launch I use on Gbay). Apologies if this has been mentioned before, did a quick search and didn't find anything. https://oodmag.com/new-boating-regs-aim-to-reduce-spread-of-invasive-species/

Ya,Only Scott shops there. LOL

No matter what if you decide to go used, complete a compression test on the motor before buying! very easy to do, relatively cheap and a perfect way to verify the condition of your motor.

Thanks for that Akrisoner! I was thinking of doing that just because I am in Windsor and the border used to be easy to get back and forth. I hate to take my money out of Canada now, I just sold my place in Florida just because of the border issues, the virus and the unstable political position they are in at the moment. I will keep looking, Walleye Central always has a big lineup of used boats that are in the price range I want to spend. All of the comments have been extremely helpful to me!! This is not my first boat, but it is the most I have ever wanted to spend on a boat and the more you know, the better buyer you are. Thanks you all, I really appreciated your time and knowledge!

Some of those kawartha launches are going to be hilarious for weed removal. I’m just glad the trailer on my new boat is a bit higher to crawl under lol

This won't effect me. I never tow with the plug in, and I can't think of a time I've ever not left launch crap back at the launch where it belongs. It surprises me people don't do this as a matter of course.

You mean people don't pull their plugs when they haul out their boats? I've been doing it since day one!!! Not because of invasive species but because of rain filling it up on the trailer while parked. I also have a small leak so it lets me drain out any water that's in the boat. A few years ago buddy and his wife were launching their boat at my lake and they were pulling out when I showed up. Why? Left the plug in all winter tons of water in the bottom of the boat and the freeze killed his bilge pump. He put it on the trailer and was about to leave when I gave him a little piece of advice. I told him to pull his plug and drain out the 1,000#'s plus of water in the boat before he left so as not to put more strain on the boat and trailer.

Can confirm a 115 on 20 ft legend is under powered its fine with 2 people but more than that its a dog out of the hole. I'm running a 4 blade 13p prop that helped but thinking of gettin a lower pitched prop for when I have more than 2 people out or camping. . We put a long shaft kicker on ours with no issues however.

If you go in knowledge you will get a decent boat from the Legend guys. I have an 18 footer I bought in 1991. The base motor package was a 60 which would be way underpowered. I opted to have a 90 on it and it was perfect. The max HP on the boat is 125. In 2013 I upgraded to a 115 Merc 4 stroke and got the smart gauge package with troll control for trolling. Can get down to 1.5 mph with my 115 on this boat. She'll be 30 years old this March and it's still kicking.

Every now and then, nerves need touching, usually for the better.

My last walleye of 2021 was a beast 12.9 lbs Have a good new year everyone .

A lot of the comments about under powered are based on load. Full family etc yea it matters. Just cause you have a engine that can do 50mph does not mean that you use it. I top out at 35MpH but best gas economy and ride is around 25mph. Crap I sound old now

Haven't seen much posted lately but not too many years back there were lot's of complaints about Tracker boats having issues and it seemed as if many of the guys had a terrible time getting Tracker to fix the problems. You could look it up on Google and there were all kinds of complaints about lousy customer service. ++++Just for fun I just typed "Problems with aluminum tracker boats" in Google and this was the 1st thing that popped up++++ https://www.consumeraffairs.com/boats/tracker.html Hope this helps Chrispy, I'd hate to see you get stung.

It is underpowered a 115 is a 115 a 150 is a 150. he is trying to get you to buy what it is equipped with

I think a 115HP on a 20 foot boat would be underpowered. You would want at least a 150HP.

Yea right. Meanwhile the poles have more ice than ever in a long time. Many places in the world are getting record low temps. Arctic air is now reaching the gulf of Mexico last week and California was getting record snowfalls with 122 inches of snow in the last week alone. Jet streams are all over the place. So how do you explain that? If you really cared to do some research instead of falling for all the climate change alarmists you would realize that most of Earths weather is influenced by solar flare activity and El Nino and La Nina. as well as the tilt of the earths axis which can be affected by volcanoes even. The earth has just hit one of the five coldest Novembers in history. And yes I'm over 60 and for sure weather has always been in a state of flux as it still is but it's not because of human activity and a little bit of extra CO2 in the atmosphere. Every major climate emergency these alarmist have screamed about have proven to be unfounded, sea levels aren't rising, the poles aren't melting, polar bears are going extinct, blah blah blah. Believe whatever you want, I really couldn't care less.

best online store is peterborough pro tackle But they are high end only, so if you are looking for canadian tire quality, head elsewhere.
