Tracker Pro Team 195TXW

The 195 TXW is the latest in the line of great aluminum boats from Bass Pro Shops’ Tracker Marine line.

The Tracker Pro Team 195 TXW is the largest, most-powerful, all-welded, modified Vee aluminum boat Tracker Marine has ever built. And no space was wasted, either. It’s packed that start at the bow with a huge bow casting deck and continue to the box beam, all-aluminum transom.

At 18-foot-7 and with a generous, 8-foot-2 beam, it’s as stable a fishing platform as any aluminum boat on the water. The full-length, welded Revolution modified Vee hull smoothes the water enough it carries the Tracker Smooth Ride Guarantee. This is important when headed fishing as the sun peeks over the horizon and especially important when you’re tired and heading home after a long day of catching fish.

The Pro Team 195TXW is loaded with storage compartments for lures, rain gear, and any other gear you want to carry: two in the bow casting deck, two in the stern casting deck and one under the center seat. The center rod locker has room to cradle up to a dozen 8-foot rods.

Once you catch some fish, they will feel like they’re in a spa in the aerated, divided, 27-gallon livewell, which is lighted for early or late adventures and has a timer for recirculation. The gunwales come with Versatrack accessory mounting channels that allow easily adding and removing of rod holders and other accessories. Performance hasn’t been overlooked, either. With a boat equipped this way, you have to beat your buddies to the fishing spot, and the standard 150-hp Mercury outboard seals the deal.

This is a package deal, and it comes with just about everything needed for fishing. A Lowrance Hook 4X fishfinder with CHIRP helps locate the fish, and a Minn Kota Edge 55-pound thrust trolling motor holds position while you cast. A two- bank charger keeps batteries topped off and ready to go whenever the mood strikes. Traveling to and from your favorite spots is worry free, as everything tows effortlessly on a custom-matched Tracker trailer with new Galvashield Impact corrosion protection for longer life.
