Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 vs Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 against a flat Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 measures 19,1 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 9,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 at 10,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 tips the scales at 1 553 lbs — 1 476 lbs more than the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 at 77 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 150 hp, the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 has a 147-hp advantage over the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010'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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 vs Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 or the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010?
The Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is the longer of the two at 19,1 feet overall. The Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 comes in at 10,0 feet, making it roughly 9,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 or the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010?
For trailering, the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 has the edge at 77 lbs dry weight versus 1 553 lbs for the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011. 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 measures 102" wide, compared to 46" for the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010. 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 Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 and Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Tracker Targa™ V-18 DC 2011 and the Tracker Topper 1032 Riveted Jon 2010 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.
