Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Tracker ProGuide V16 is a deep V single console boat designed specifically for northern climates, durability, and fishing. Tracker aimed to create a vessel that meets anglers' needs while also being easy to tow, launch, and store. The boat measures 16 feet in length with a beam of 88 inches and a bottom width of 70 inches. It has a 20-degree dead rise hull, similar to high-end bow riders, and a package weight of approximately 1,942 pounds including the engine. The fuel capacity is 15 US gallons.

Exterior Design and Fishing Features

At the bow, the V16 features a carpeted trawling motor deck pre-wired for the included Minn Kota 42-pound thrust power drive motor, complete with a drink holder. Just behind this is an elevated casting deck with ample storage, including a compartment with tackle drawers secured by a carpeted aluminum hatch with a full-length piano hinge. Additional gear storage compartments flank the pedestal base. The boat incorporates the VersaTrack system, allowing customizable placement of accessories such as drink holders around the perimeter. A removable bait bucket is housed under another hatch and connects to a 23-gallon aerated and divided live well, which includes a timer, recirculation, and pump-out system. The stern also has an elevated casting deck with storage compartments on either side of the pedestal base, top-loading rod storage lockers with securing straps, and three fold-down swivel fishing seats that can be moved among six pedestal bases. The seats feature pinchless hinges for safety.

Helm and Controls

The helm console is molded fiberglass with a tinted windscreen that effectively redirects wind over the captain's head. The instrument panel is uncluttered, featuring three backlit gauges and toggle switches positioned to the right. A Lowrance X-50 fish finder is mounted on a swivel, providing surface temperature readouts and adjustable positioning to accommodate captains of varying heights.

Power and Performance

The V16 is offered with Mercury four-stroke outboards in 25, 50, or 60 horsepower options. The test boat was equipped with a 60 horsepower Mercury EFI outboard. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 30.1 miles per hour at 5,500 rpm, with a fuel consumption of 4.5 gallons per hour, resulting in an average range of 91 statute miles. Cruising at 3,500 rpm yielded a speed of 15.7 miles per hour and a fuel burn of 1.8 gallons per hour, extending the range to 117 statute miles. The boat achieved a time to plane of 4.5 seconds and accelerated from 0 to 30 miles per hour in 8.1 seconds. The hull’s deep V design provided a smooth and responsive ride, with excellent maneuverability even in tight fishing spots and shallow, rocky areas.

Trailer and Storage

The ProGuide V16 package includes a color-matched single axle trailer with a swing-away tongue, facilitating easy storage in most garages. The aluminum construction of the boat allows for worry-free beaching and shore landings, enhancing its versatility for anglers who frequent varied fishing environments.

Conclusion

Overall, the Tracker ProGuide V16 is a well-designed fishing boat that balances durability, performance, and convenience. Its thoughtful features such as ample storage, customizable accessory mounts, and a smooth deep V hull make it suitable for anglers in northern climates. The boat’s manageable size and included trailer make it easy to tow, launch, and store, while the Mercury outboard options provide reliable power and efficient fuel consumption. The test confirmed the V16’s capability as a versatile and durable fishing platform.
