Waltert-
The Tracker Hulls do have better self-bailing vs. the 80's hulls and probably the Potter's too
. The weight is less, and I believe the placement of the console is more forward as well, so your chances at self bailing is good. Anything over a 358 lbs 130 Yamaha is asking for the ball scuppers or keeping the plugs in while cruising. I have a great deal of experience on this boat and 3 different motor set-ups and they do run hard and are a pocket type center console that can take the slop that others of similar size cannot. As for that floor live well, cutting it out for bildge access is a good idea.
