I have been fishing from a PC 215 combo for the last few years and like it. I feel it is a good boat for the money. It is stable as can be and handles rougher water well, providing a dry ride. It's a pretty heavy boat and will suck the gas if you like to go fast. With the 225 efi it tops out about 60mph on the gps. The front and back deck can handle two anglers each as long as every one knows the routine. Occasionally, I have four guys fishing and never feel any rocking of the boat. I use it about 75% fish and 25% ski/tube with family and friends and it fits the bill perfectly. It's definitely not a top of the line boat but a good solid mid level for those of us on a budget. It's too bad tracker discontinued this line of boats. Only complaint is that the hull does not set up very nice for a kicker. Mike
Guest is right on about the boat being heavy and the 225 EFI being thirsty. Ours with a 23P High 5 prop topped out at 58 gps. I agree it's not a top of the line boat, but I felt it was darn close....and $10K cheaper than the Reatta.
Maybe Guest has our red 215 PC now (?).
