16 foot panfish tracker boat questions.

Any Baws in here owned one of these before or know about them? I think I want one to fish some freshwater areas in and around South Florida. I recently saw one with a mercury jet motor on it and it started working on my mind a bit on some good fishing that thing might take you too.
I can't seem to find an option on the tracker site that I can swap the motors out and be wondering why that option is not available from the factory?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Neighbor bought a similar boat made by Lowe and he bought his from Bryan's Marine.
Open water I would be a little worried.
Canals and protected water it a cool idea.
In the marsh I can lay my rods down on one side and his on the other. Huge live well we use as an ice chest for specks and reds.
If you move around a lot you do not have to go from the deck seat to driving seat and back to your deck seat.
Crappie fishing great as that what it is made for.
Put your long Lilly rake on one side and crappie poles on the other side.
Cons
Not good for crossing choppy bays or open bodies of water.
Sits lower if you bass fish and like to sit high to look for fish this is not for you.

I have a Triton stick steer thats set up exactly the same as the Tracker and I love it. The only mild complaint I have is the center live well takes up more space than I would prefer. If I were looking at the stick steers again I would consider the Xpress crappie stick steer or the 17' War Eagle with the side live well.
As far as the motor option I'm sure the dealer could set you up however you'd like it.

Thanks for the shared experiences and opinions that gives me some food for thought.
