I used to have a Tracker 20' and now have a 25' Sportscraft. I fish Lake Erie Only and have it docked at a marina vs trailering it home after each trip. For me, I like the HT better. I start fishing in March and don't pull it out until freeze up so with the HT i can get out of the wind, rain, and sun so fishing is more comfortable. If I were fishing different areas then the Ranger would be better, much easier to haul from ramp to ramp.
