Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 vs Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 is a modified-V design and the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 at 20,0 ft versus Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 at 19,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 tips the scales at 1 553 lbs - 513 lbs less than the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 at 1 040 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 150 hp, the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007's 125-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 GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 CC All-Welded Package 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
