16 Foot Tracker Jon Boats For Sale

The Tracker Grizzly 1648 is a 16-foot aluminum jon boat built for river, creek and lake fishing rather than heavy open water. It carries a 6-foot beam, is rated for four people, and the hull-and-trailer package weighs roughly 1,300 pounds, light enough to launch and tow behind a small vehicle. With a single-axle trailer the whole rig measures 20 feet 4 inches, which makes a swing-away hitch a practical add-on for tight garage storage. This is a budget-minded fishing platform that suits a family on a budget or an angler who wants a simple boat to rig out over time.

Pricing splits sharply by how the boat is equipped. A bare-bones 2022 Grizzly 1648 with essentially nothing installed runs about $7,510, which works out near $144 a month over 60 months, and from there you can add a used outboard, batteries, a 24-volt trolling motor and a fish finder to land somewhere under $10,000. A version sitting next to it with an outboard and console fitted lists at $17,455, roughly $334 to $335 a month over the same 60 months. Maximum recommended horsepower on these 1648 hulls is in the 40 to 50 horsepower range depending on configuration, paired with a 6-gallon fuel tank. The standard console is plastic with a livewell and a floor drain, and base boats often ship without seats, which mount easily by screwing pedestal bases straight into the deck.

Build quality is a defining trait of the Grizzly line. The outside hull seams are fully welded while deck plates and add-on hardware are riveted, and the boats wear a stippled, sand-grit traction finish that stays grippy in rain and wet weather. The 16-foot deck is closed up at the rear, leaving open space behind the console where multiple batteries can be mounted. On the larger Grizzly 1654 Sportsman T tiller model, the welded construction holds up well over years of hard use, including duck hunting in white caps, though the trade-off is weight: the boat is heavy to push off shorelines and slow to coast to a stop at the dock, and it throws spray that will soak you in serious waves.

The Tracker Prairie Wings Edition is the marsh-and-timber variant of the 16-foot platform, designated 16T. It comes in a shadow grass camo pattern over the standard olive drab, with optional flooring or a bare metal interior for anglers who want to cut bait directly on the deck. It is pre-wired for a trolling motor and includes a switch panel running nav lights, bilge and three accessory circuits, with pre-wired pigtails behind access panels for adding LED lights. A Versatrack rail system lines the gunwales with D-rings for strapping down decoys or gear, spud holes sit in all four corners for shallow-water anchoring, and a 2-inch PVC drain plug clears mud quickly. The 50 horsepower Mercury offers a troll-control feature to fine-tune idle RPM for trolling speed, plus an adjustable throttle tension knob. A kickback plate is a worthwhile option for stump-filled creeks, and the larger 17T Marsh edition adds storage compartments and a recessed trolling motor pedal area.

Owners customize these boats heavily, and a 2019 Grizzly 1648 MVX shows what is possible. That model can be ordered with a side console and runs efficiently on a small 20 horsepower four-stroke Mercury. Common upgrades include a rear bench kit, custom deck hatches, a Minn Kota trolling motor on a quick-release bracket, beaver-tail pods welded to the transom for added flotation and quicker planing, and a four-inch jack plate to raise the outboard for running shallow. When weighing a 16-foot Tracker jon boat for sale, the main decision is how much to pay for a finished factory rig versus buying the bare hull and assembling your own outboard, batteries and electronics for less.
