Thanks to all for your input. Now let me tell you a little background. I now own a 1994 Tracker Tournament Pro 18 with a 25 HP Merc. I love the boat but 15 MPH with gear and two guys does not cut it. I thought it would be smarter to purchase a new boat with warranties to get a faster boat than to put a 75-90 HP motor on my 7 year old Tracker. This is the first boat I have owned, so what do you guys think? I am actually looking at a NEW 2000 Nitro 640LX with a NEW 2001 75 HP Merc for $11900 + tax. This price includes freight and rigging. I did not like the idea of giving up an 18 foot boat for a 16 foot 4 inch boat, but I thought the Nitro 640LX still had plenty of room. I do mostly bass and crappie fishing on small lakes. The biggest lake I fish is Lake Shelbyville in Shelbyville Illinois. But even on the smaller lakes it takes for ever to get to diferent parts of the lake at 15 MPH. What do you guy think now that you know a little more about my situation? Thank you in advance for all replies
