Mr Twister Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was woundering if some has a Tracker Grizzly Jon Boat 17' and what you have to say about it and its handling on the water? I am looking for a Hunting/Fishing type boat and thought it would do.....do you? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeJ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a new 14' Tracker Grizzly with the modified "V" hull and a 25 hp Yamaha but I haven't had it on the water yet. From what I know they are best suited to inland lakes, larger waves are a bit of a hampering to this style of hull, definitely not as fast in the chop as a "V" hull would be. Search YouTube and you can find video's on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Can't help you with trackers but I've got a 15' G3 w/ 20hp yamaha. Same as GeorgeJ with the Mod-V hull. Love the boat, handled some sizeable waves on long point bay last summer with no trouble. If you're looking for a good boat for hunting and fishing check out the G3's also. Mine is actually a Duck Boat, and I don't hunt at all but LOVE all the space I have in the middle - and it has a casting deck up front. GEORGEJ - do you know what speeds you get with your 25HP motor? I get about 27MPH with my 20 and wondered how much faster a 25 would go...BTW mine is a 4 stroke.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeJ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 UF that's a very nice boat I love the camo, part of the reason I went with the Jon style boat was all the room they offer. Mine also has a casting deck front and rear, lots of room for my Golden who won't let me leave shore with out him, if I do he swims out after me and I have to rescue him from drowning by exhaustion. I'm thinking about getting a dog ladder that will allow him in and out easier. As far as how fast my boat will be I don't know, it's all new and I haven't had it out yet but I do have a GPS mounted and I will let you know what kind of speed it will do, the 25 I have is a 2 stroke.
