Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 vs Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 vs Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 at 17,1 ft versus Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 at 18,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 tips the scales at 670 lbs — 656 lbs more than the Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 at 14 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 has a 125-hp advantage over the Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023's 50-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 Targa V-18 Combo 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Targa V-18 Combo 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Boats Grizzly 1754 JON 2023 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
