Lots of guys run the Deep-V's by Crestliner up on the great lakes. Cant speak on thier mod-v's. They really beef up thier side walls on thier deep models.
They were actually my 2nd choice if Alumacraft didnt offer what i was looking for.

I am looking real serious at the VT18. Also have looked at the Triton and Ranger boats. Thoughts on Tracker?

I am looking at 18 ft. with a 115 four stroke.

Thats a good looking boat!
i dont want to knock any brand as there are alot of guys on here running different rigs, but i will say that i loved the Tracker price point, but i just didnt feel the quality was there when i was shopping around. I went through all kinds of brands of boats with a fine tooth comb in person. Thats just MY opinion.
But again, they are priced to sell and they sell alot of boats!
you might try searching other forums, or just google searches for those brands and see what comes back in regards to customer feedback and such.

John Cox in the FLW has been running a Crestliner bass boat for the past two years and has nothing but good things to say about it.

I run a tracker pro 17, bought 1 year old from a buddy. Looked at other aluminum before and since. Fit and finish is nowhere near as good as ranger or crest liner. Also more bare bone, not much thought into rod storage, etc. But in the end what they are is a reasonable entry point to a fishing boat. I have not had any significant issues with mine and I gaze at other boats every year but for the lower cost I am satisfied. If money is not a concern go for the crestliner, if you are going to worry about every penny the tracker will do the job.

I would use almost any brand that was GIVEN to me.
