1. Pre-wired forward battery compartment. for better weight distribution</p>

2. Forward live well for better weight distribution</p>

2. Accessible wiring channel stem to stern for adding accessories. Any boat really
</p>

Don’t know if they already did this in newer models, but for my Tracker 185: pre-wired front 3 battery compartment, easier access for longer rod storage, locate front deck “step-up” toward rear for increased dry storage or even a live well

Welll-fugeddabout it- They already did all that in their 195- duh??

I saw an aluminum deck fishing boat docked off the other day that was the best boat I've ever seen laid out. Wish I could remember the brand.

I grew up in them, I was renting aluminum boats at Pine Harbor Marina when I was in elementary school and owned several too.. I was at Pine Harbor almost every day growing up since my mom just lived right across the way so they knew me like I was their own kid. lol

I have an 18.5 ft duracraft center console that is very wide, can't remember how wide though. The only part I don't like is walking around the center console. You almost have to jump over it

Thats because the boat isnt very wide. You have to get a beam width of at least 8' to keep that issue from happening.

Yeah that things is 24ft long and literally looks like one of the most comfy boats ever especially if you have a family. There is a new boat out that is aluminum and shaped like a fiberglass and that brand is vexus. It really looks awesome and I would love to ride in one.
