Matching a modified vee Tracker Pro 160 2013 against a flat Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007 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 Pro 160 2013 measures 16,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 15,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007 at 1,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Pro 160 2013 tips the scales at 719 lbs — 711 lbs more than the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007 at 8 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 40 hp, the Tracker Pro 160 2013 has a 37-hp advantage over the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007'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 Pro 160 2013 is rated for 3 passengers, while the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Pro 160 2013 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2007 comes in at 3 lbs per hp versus 18 lbs per hp for the Tracker Pro 160 2013. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
