Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tracker Bantam 2004 vs Tracker Pro 160 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tracker Bantam 2004 vs Tracker Pro 160 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 40 hp, the Tracker Pro 160 2013 has a 35-hp advantage over the Tracker Bantam 2004's 5-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tracker Pro 160 2013 is rated for 3 passengers, while the Tracker Bantam 2004 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Pro 160 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Pro 160 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 3 passengers and at 16,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Bantam 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
