[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 372012, member: 9169"] I have a '96 Tracker Sportsman 1648MV with a newly rebuilt '94 Johnson 50/35. With hunting gear, decoys and guns I refuse to allow anymore than 3 people in the boat at a time. Rides great with all of that and 3 people, get about 27mph that way. But a 4th just seems unsafe to me. It fishes great with 2 people and with 3 gets a bit tight, but is very doable and I do fish with 3 alot. Mine is riveted and I'm guessing the hull is .08 or even less. I tore a nice hole in it this summer pretty easily. Nothing some proper welding couldn't easily fix though. If I ever do it again I'll be looking for a thicker gauge boat because my local river is shallow, narrow and ROCKY. Here is how we get to and from our hunting spots with 3 guys, decoys, guns and gear.
