Tracker Super Guide V16, thoughts?

[Denny]

Have the chance to pick up a leftover Tracker Super Guide V16 SC for extremely cheap, the boat is a 2020 that’s never even touched water. Any comments on these? I’ve looked around and most info is all from dealers and sellers online.

 

I realize it’s a pretty basic boat and in the bottom of the price category for its size, but I’m a weekend warrior that hopefully makes it out to the lake a few times a month. Currently have an old 11 foot V with a 3.3 so this would be a massive upgrade. I don’t make it far from the launch currently and I’m hoping to add some comfort to my fishing day and allow me to go further if needed. It comes with a trolling motor up front and a basic graph I believe. Thanks for any thoughts guys

Go for it - I think you’ll be happy. It was one of the ones I was looking at at one time, but the nearest dealer was about 2 hours away. Went with a different brand Deep-V, but very happy with the overall size and style of boat. Takes choppy water much better than a jon boat style aluminum, and you’ll feel safe with the deeper sides. If the price is that good, jump on it. Surprised a deep discount boat is even available given how well boats in general have been selling the past year or two. You’ll probably be sorry if you wait too long.

Thanks, think you’re right. At the very least I could flip it. It’s through some friend channels which is the only reason it’s so cheap. They would rather sell it private to someone they know than deal with the dealer or Craigslist’s route

Found out some more info, only has a 25 horse merc on it, but comes with a custom cover and a few other extras.  Never even been off the trailer.  Full warranty etc and 6k under what they currently sell for at BPS or other tracker dealers.  

I was hoping for a slightly larger motor, like a 40, but its not terrible. Im in no rush when on the water and just like to enjoy my time while (hopefully) catching some fish.

That boat can handle a 50 hp outboard. A 25 would be too little for me. I would prefer the 50 but I would settle for a 40 which comes standard. 25 may not even get that boat on plane with a couple passengers, batteries, gear, etc.

That is kind of my worry as well, im sure I could buy a 40 and put it on but at that point i'd be at the price of buying a brand new 2021 at a dealer, defeating the point of the good deal.  I wasn't exactly searching for a new boat, this kinda just fell in my lap and im seeing if its worth the investment.
