FTR, Tracker DID build a few cuddy cabin boats, the 23' Walk-around.
In '87, some of the first Tracker SeaCrafts were built with fiberglass encapsulated plywood stringers, and really poor transom construction. At Lake Worth Boating Center in Hypoluxo, we sent four 23' WA hulls back to the factory, all of which had severe transom failure within 20 hours of use. All were single-engine OB transom cut-outs. Two of them only had transom cores that extended to about 6' past the cut-outs from the center, giving them only about 48" of plywood in the transom. The transom from there out to the hull side was just 1/4" to 3/8" of fiber glass. Obviously, there was a LOT of transom flex, leading to the failures. By contrast, the only twin-engine 23'WA I saw had a transom that was a full 2 1/4" thick across the entire beam at the transom. Which is a good thing, because we rigged that boat with twin 225's. I understand some of the 23's from the late 90's also had some transom issues, but that will have long since shown up, and is a simple fix. Not easy or cheap, but simple. I have to admit, I think the late 60's Moesly hulls were the best, but don't forget, they're now 45-50 years old.
