They say part of that is from the plywood decks weigh more than the balsa core. That adds some weight.
I have seen some nicer Trackers that don't look to have bad glass work and the earlier ones seem to have good lay ups. I wouldn't let the "Tracker" name worry me too much. Some of the late model 2000's up may be different due to they started cutting corners to remain profitable pushing out a cheaper made hulls. It seems like some of them are fine hulls too, but then you get a couple that may of have had problems. It may be more of a crap shoot the newer they get. I have all pre 80's hulls but a later made hull wouldn't scare me. If you tear them down you can build it back as thick and heavy as you want. The running surface is what makes it special, and they all got that.
