16 Foot Bass Tracker Boats For Sale

Sixteen-foot Bass Tracker boats span several aluminum fishing models built around a welded hull and a multi-species fishing layout, including the Bass Tracker Classic XL, the Tracker Super Guide V16 in side console (SC) and tiller (V16T) form, and older deep-V hulls such as the 2012 Tracker 16-foot SC. These are budget-minded fishing boats sold through Tracker Boat Centers, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's, suited to anglers who want more reach than a kayak without a deep-V offshore footprint. The Classic XL rides a modified-V hull, while the Super Guide V16 and the older deep-V boats use a deep-V shape that holds up better in chop; the 2012 deep-V measures 88 inches across the beam, which helps on windy days.

Most 16-foot Bass Tracker boats run a 50-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, with the Classic XL also configurable down to a 40-horsepower. A 50-horsepower Super Guide V16 reaches about 30 mph at full throttle and carries up to roughly 910 pounds of dry weight, or four people. The tiller Super Guide V16T offers either a 25- or 40-horsepower outboard for 2025; its tiller adds trim adjustment, throttle friction and a lanyard kill switch at the handle. The 2012 deep-V was rigged with a 60-horsepower Mercury EFI four-stroke. New Mercury motors require a staged break-in: one hour at stage one, one hour at stage two, then eight hours at stage three.

Helm equipment is basic and varies by model. The Classic XL console shows engine RPM but no speedometer or fuel gauge, includes a Lowrance fish finder, and groups the lights, aerator, bilge pump and accessible fuse panel together; a SmartCraft Connect (Vessel View) module is an add-on that reads motor hours, adds a fuel gauge and tracks maintenance. The Super Guide V16 SC ships with a Garmin sonar and a fuller dash of nav light, anchor, aerator, bilge and horn switches, while the V16T comes with a Garmin Striker 4. The 2012 deep-V's gauges include RPM, fuel level and speed.

Deck and cockpit layouts center on fishing. The Classic XL carries four seats but is rated for three passengers at a 555-pound maximum, with flip-up console seats over storage, four rod holders and a 9-gallon live well. The Super Guide V16 SC adds a 15-gallon live well, a deep rod locker and the Versatrack accessory rail for rod holders, cup holders and GoPro mounts. Trolling motors are included: a 45-lb thrust unit on the Classic XL and V16T, and a 55-lb thrust Minn Kota Terrova with spot lock on the 2012 deep-V. Storage on the smaller tiller is shallow.

A 16-foot Bass Tracker for sale uses a six-gallon portable fuel tank running on 87 octane, removable for refilling and easy to upgrade to a 12-gallon low-profile tank. The aluminum hull, frame and decking carry a lifetime warranty. Year-end clearance pricing on the Classic XL ran around $16,600, with new 2025 models just over $17,700; a 2026 Super Guide V16 SC ran about $23,000 all-in. Points to check: the Classic XL has no rub rail, swim ladder or spare tire, its trailer brake kit is extra, and upgrading the factory trolling motor has been linked to bow-deck cracking. A foldaway trailer tongue cuts stored length to about 20 feet.
