Bass Tracker Grizzly Boats For Sale

Grizzly by Tracker is a line of all-welded aluminum fishing boats built across a wide size range, from a 9-foot-10 cartopper up to center-console models near 19 feet, aimed at anglers chasing bass, crappie, catfish and waterfowl on ponds, rivers, lakes and shallow coastal flats. The hulls carry an all-welded sticker on the transom, and the family spans the tiny Tracker 1036, the 1548 Sportsman, the 1654, the 1860 center console and the 17T. Buyers shopping Bass Tracker Grizzly boats for sale will find welded construction across the lineup, with the riveted hulls phased out on the smaller models in recent years.

The 1036 is the entry point: 9 feet 10 inches long, 4 feet 4 inches across the beam and 36 inches at the floor, weighing only 115 pounds with a .063-inch (1/16-inch) hull. It is rated for a 3.5-horsepower outboard, carries 330 pounds and drafts 5.75 inches, but its 36-inch floor makes it a one-person pond boat that grows unstable with a second angler aboard. The 1548 Sportsman steps up considerably, running a Mercury 25-horsepower four-stroke (the maximum rating for that model, while the larger 1654 accepts up to 40 horsepower) and reaching about 25 mph at the top end. It uses a modified-V hull rather than a flat bottom, sits roughly 6 inches deep while cruising, and stays workable in 18 inches of water with the motor trimmed.

The 1860 center console measures 19 feet 2 inches long and 5 feet wide, and its standout trait is draft: it floats in about 2 inches of water and can drift flats 10 to 12 inches deep even loaded with three people. The wide beam makes it stable enough to stand on the gunwale or a cooler, and the low sides reduce wind push during drifts. It runs a 90-horsepower Mercury with hydraulic assisted steering. The flat bottom with a semi-V forward pounds in a 2-to-3-foot chop, so it rewards slow running and weather awareness, and the dark green aluminum heats up in sun.

Helm equipment on the center-console boats stays simple. The 17T uses cable steering with a fuel gauge, cup holder, 12-volt outlet, switches for nav lights, aerator and bilge pump, motor tilt control at the dash, a forward-neutral-reverse throttle and a kill-switch lanyard. Trolling-motor setups commonly pair a Minn Kota PowerDrive 70-pound-thrust or a Minn Kota Edge 45-pound-thrust bow motor, with pre-wired harnesses, a trolling-motor plug and a 12-volt plug at the front deck for fish finders.

Deck and storage layouts include a swiveling bow pedestal seat, a livewell of roughly 16 gallons, lockable compartments with keys (one bow box runs about 3 feet deep), and self-draining cockpit floors. The 1860 adds Versatrack accessory rails down both sides and a built-in fuel tank under the deck. Rod holders are limited, often three tube holders or four flush holders, with rod boxes that fit rods around 6.5 feet or shorter.

Flotation pods on the transom of several models help the boat plane faster and ride higher. When weighing a purchase, check weld quality on the smaller welded hulls, confirm the trailer (the 17T ships on a single-axle leaf-spring trailer with ST185/80R13 tires and no brakes, around 2,000 pounds loaded), and match the hull and width to the water you fish, since the narrow models trade stability for shallow draft.
