I gave $3500 for it with a $450 depth finder, $250 trolling motor, and a new onboard charging system from Minn Kota. It still looks really good and has the modern hull design. Don't let the glitter get your money.

You guys that have the aluminum, are yall big guys? I haven't been in any of the newer aluminum boats. I am pretty meaty and was wondering how these aluminums do for big boys walking around in them. I have been with my brother in his glass and its not too bad.

I have been with my brother in his glass and its not too bad. The bass trackers move a lot. I haven't been in a ranger aluminum, but I have a Triton aluminum boat right now. It's 18'8" long. I'm not sure on the width, but it's twice as stable as a tracker boat is. It hardly moves when your walking around on it. I sell boats, so I'm not biased. I sell a lot of bass trackers , but these heavier top name boats are way more stable.
