Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 vs Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 vs Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 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 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 at 18,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 tips the scales at 2 060 lbs — 665 lbs more than the Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 at 1 395 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 185 SC 2007 has a 25-hp advantage over the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023's 150-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 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Targa 185 SC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Boats Grizzly 2072 CC Sportman Kicker 2023 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
