Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 vs Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 against a flat Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 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 10,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 at 9,8 feet (2013). At 76 lbs and 99 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 60 hp, the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 has a 57-hp advantage over the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013's 3-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 Jon 2010 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 caps at 2. 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 Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 vs Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 or the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013?
The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 is the longer of the two at 20,3 feet overall. The Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 comes in at 9,8 feet, making it roughly 10,4 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 or the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013?
For trailering, the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 has the edge at 76 lbs dry weight versus 99 lbs for the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 is rated to a maximum of 60 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 tops out at 3 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 is certified for 2. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 measures 96" wide, compared to 52" for the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 and Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Tracker GRIZZLY 2072 Jon 2010 and the Tracker Topper™ 1036 Riveted Jon 2013 are built by Tracker. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
