Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 vs Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 vs Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 measures 21,5 feet overall (2023), giving it roughly 5,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013 at 16,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 tips the scales at 2 060 lbs — 1 452 lbs more than the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013 at 608 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 Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 has a 110-hp advantage over the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 21,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Guide V-16 Laker DLX T 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
