Matching a modified vee Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 against a deep vee Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 measures 20,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011 at 16,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011 tips the scales at 655 lbs — 579 lbs less than the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 at 76 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 60 hp for the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 and 40 hp for the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011. 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 2072 Jon 2010 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Guide V-16 Laker Deep V 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
