| I looked at a Tracker Tundra last night and was wondering if anyone had anything good or bad to say about this boat. |

I actually spent a quite a few days in a couple different ones this past summer. I would say they have by far the best ride of any boat, but the one thing I have heard everyone talking about with this boat is with the high sides that the wind pushes this boat around very easily. Other than that I would say these are very solid boats, they have definitely held there own on the tournament trails and done very well, but that one downfall of the boat like I said is those high sides. Any bit of wind and that thing sails around like crazy! Maybe drop Oneida Esox a pm, I know John has a 18ft Tundra right now. He would be able to give you good insight.

| I'm a big fan of the Tundra. I can't speak for the 21, but the 18 doesn't have much of a problem with wind blowing it around. Put a 175 on a Tundra 18 and you'll have one fast ride. A 150 or even a 135 is plenty. Lots of room and handles rough water very well. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | I fished in Mike Schmits 18ft Tundra in 2005 on Millie lac's and it was nice. The drift issue I could see. The sides are high but the ride was great. All in all a very nice boat. A drift sock will slow that boat down if thats the only issue. No like my Ranger 620VS but it worked great for us. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I watched the Tracker Tundras worked hard all through the year during the In Fish and FLW Walleye Tours over the last few seasons. Excellent ride, fast, nice interior, and all in all a great big water boat. |

Location: WESTERN WI | I fished out of PWT Pro Daryl Christiansan's 21 foot Tundra this past year and it is very impressive. Handles excellent, tons of storage and can easily be fished by 3 muskie fisherman, or 2 with 1 camera-man. As far as the wind issue goes, that was non existent, but the higher sides would make for a safer/dryer day in rough waters. If the aluminum body made for a lighter, more drift prone rig, I would use a drift sock for when a big blow rolls in.
