Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 vs Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 vs Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 75 hp for the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 and 75 hp for the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 vs Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 or the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003?
For trailering, the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 has the edge at 745 lbs dry weight versus 745 lbs for the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 and Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 share an 76 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 and Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 CC All-Welded Package 2005 and the Tracker GRIZZLY 1754 SC - Blind Duck Edition 2003 are built by Tracker. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
