Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 vs Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 vs Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 has a 115-hp advantage over the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010's 135-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 carries 50 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 vs Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 - Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer - the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 or the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003?
For trailering, the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 has the edge at 1 401 lbs dry weight versus 1 890 lbs for the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003. 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 Tundra 21 DC 2003 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 tops out at 135 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 Targa V-17 WT 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 is certified for 10. 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 Targa V-17 WT 2010 measures 101" wide, compared to 96" for the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003. 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 or the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003?
The Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 has the bigger tank at 50 gallons, versus 29 gallons on the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010. That 21-gallon difference translates to roughly 63–105 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 and Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Tracker Targa V-17 WT 2010 and the Tracker Tundra 21 DC 2003 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.
