Bass Pro Shop Boats - Walkthrough Prices, Specs, Features. Which Boat is Right for me?

Bass Pro Shop Boats. I did a walk through of the boats on the showroom floor and what they have to offer. I wanted to get some good information on the Specifications, Prices, and Features these boats have. I checked out all Aluminum boats, which were the Tracker and Grizzly boats. I also checked out the Nitro Bass Boats. I did not see a video on you tube where there was a walkthrough as if you were in the store checking the boats out for yourself. I may want a boat in the future and I was thinking Which Boat is Right for me? So, I went to check them out to maybe answer that question. There are so many awesome boats at this store, there are some of the Best boats for fishing and family, and some of the best boats for fishing. I hoped this video helped you if you have been considering Which boat to buy. Let me know your thoughts on the boats in the comments section.

Thanks for this walkthrough. I recently checked out some Bass Trackers and was all excited about low monthly payments until I saw it was a 20 year loan. At my age they better offer some life insurance if they want to get their money back.

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah they work those payments to get them lower but that’s how they do it pay for a long time.

[@brandonfox1617]

I'm in the process of buying a Tracker Pro 170. Almost perfect for what I need. The extra cost associated with the "bass boat personality" it mimics is worth it to me right now. It will do everything I need and comes with the basic creature comforts I want in a boat. It's new so i know it will fire up first turn. I live 500 yards from the biggest lake in my area so resale shouldn't be a huge problem later on when it's time to upgrade.

[@TBassFactory]

That is a boat that alot of people go with and I believe they are awesome boats that hold up. I see them for sale all the time online and a 10 year old one is still like 10k. They have awesome engines on them and get you around, plus they are so customizable if you want to upgrade. Good choice brandon I think you will be happy with it.

[@redneckmuddigger50]

[@Tanx33]

lol video just popped up because I have been looking at info on the Trackers, 3 years later and the boat prices have basically jumped to the next model up. the first boat you showed is now 17k, the 175 starts at around 23k and alot of the models they have in stock are 25-27k, the 190s are about 28k for the 90hp motor version, the 115hp 190 is now 30k(the one I just bought), the 195 only comes in tournament edition and is over 35k now. wish the 195 in your video was still the same price because it was exactly the size I was looking for but did not see one for under 35k anywhere near my area. I actually would have gone with that z18 if it was still that price too. the z17 I was quoted was the base model with no extras and it was 32k, didn't see any z18s under 45k within 100 miles of my area now(includes 5 shops). Wish I had been boat shopping 3 years ago.

[@timberwolfcontracting7430]

Hey bro cool vid. But a small correction. Those long metal boxes behind the seats are not livewells.. They are storage boxes. Having said that great vid!!! Respect

[@TBassFactory]

Your exactly right, from what I remember I was checking the smaller trackers which had the bait well and the live well then as they got bigger I didnt realize they were no longer live wells, but aluminum storage. I even at one point mistaken the cooler for a live well. Dumb ha thanks bud

[@garyclements9347]

Be concerned when purchasing the proskiff 17 and the pro skiff 15 , i owned a 2019 and it came from the factory with issues in the hull , after joining the pro17/15 forum on facebook I found that most of these boats have and do eventually have hull issues . I really loved the boat , ran great with the 75hp and jack plate the draft was shallow , all i did was flats fish . I decided to sell it before any more problems occurred , just some food for thought , oh , also u need to reseal all drain plug areas , make sure the bilge is wired correctly and do a thorough walk thru and prevent maintenance . Boat is extremely stable and fun to fish out of . On the forum i tried to help people with some suggestions so they could enjoy the skiff and the proskiff forum would not allow my info and blocked me.

That sounds scary I think I would of sold it too

I got it from an estate sale. It was 32k when bought. It runs mid 60’s speed. It’s not a Bullet, but it has a lot of room

By far the best deal they [Bass Pro] had a couple years ago. Was the Aluminum Bass Tracker CLASSIC. A throw back in style and beautiful boat for 10k. They could not keep them on the floor. Sadly it seems they have dropped it from the inventory. Another was the PANFISH special with a stick steer up front. Great little boat for family fishing boat. Again looking like it was dropped from the inventory. Bass Pro also own Ranger and the price is considerably higher...Here's a brand you might want to review WAR EAGLE boats. Very nice layout and well designed and built boat. I agree with the DIY concept. If you have the time and such to do so. But if not a prepackaged boat is a better option. Not to mention that you have the price of the individual items you plan to add on, to consider in the cost of the boat. Which is were Tracker gets you. The boats are all a set package and fixed price. You can make a few upgrades for extra cost. But the design is a "fishing ready " boat package, and a no haggle fixed price. That is pricey, but competitive.

[@TBassFactory]

They are a great buy. I have seen a couple of them but they are sold before they even go on sale.

[@locker1325]

I remember those also. Seemed like it was too good to be true. Profit margin too thin I guess.

Like the Vid. I agree with you. I'd rather just get the Army green one and add on all the extras myself. Throw in some nice comfortable seats, a better trolling motor, better rod holders, maybe a gun rack if your a hunter, etc...

[@funkfarmer7125]

The back storage locker's behind the seats in the first few Trackers are storage, not live well's. If you looked at the Classic XL it is about a foot longer than the 160, comes with the 50, and tbh that "little bitty" trolling motor works perfect. Also while I did think I'd need an extra tank in my Classic the 6 gal is plenty with the 4 stroke 50. I can go several days all over the lake on one tank. For a brand new boat at 14k I love my rig, I could never afford those 30-70k rigs so that Classic XL allowed me to get on the water.

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah I didn't look close enough at those lockers, I was wrong. I've been wanting to see one of the classics but for all of the great reasons you stated those things are selling and are very wanted right now. Im sure that thing is an awesome rig. Thanks bud

[@mikekenner9218]

A lot of those were not livewells but it's all good. In March '20, I bought a V-19 Targa Combo Tournament Edition with a 200 Pro XS and a 9.9 Pro Kicker. I know every boat at BPS...cold. If you ever want to upgrade your Jon boat, get yourself a Pro 175 TXW Tournament Edition with a 75 hp. That's the #1 selling boat in the USA. If you can, get white. Talk about a head turner. If money is no object, get yourself a fiberglass Nitro. Stay safe.

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah halfway through the walk through I started noticing that's just storage not a bait well or live well. Sounds like you got a nice boat and that white one sounds sweet. I'm gonna go online and see if I can find that one.

[@zoedeville3705]

Really great video! I am in the market for a grizzly and have been desperate to see reviews from current owners or walk through sand hey just for some of the comments made remember these are 4 stroke engines that come with warranties as well as hull warranties versus spending less for a used 2 stroke engine and possible hull issues on a Craigslist boat

[@TBassFactory]

Your exactly righy Zoe. You take the risk with buying a used boat, but you have to weigh whether breaking down or having issues with the engine is worth the price. I definitely would love to have one of these boats and have the security of a warranty. Thanks

[@mriphone1000]

I own a 1648 Grizzly alweld. My experience hasn't been that great. The hull welds failed in about a dozen spots, leaks in all those spots. I've spent probably 100 hours and over a thousand dollars, buying metal, fabricating, and paying professional tig welders. If I didn't do most of the work myself I would have cut the boat up and scrapped it because it would have cost a more than the boats worth to have a dealer do the work. Tracker has alot of improvements to make before I would ever buy anything from them again.

[@fauxque5057]

@@mriphone1000 same experience for me. They told me the warranty doesn't cover salt water. Wtf? This is Florida, we're surrounded with salt water The salt water corroded all of the seams on the bottom. After trying to seal it for years I cut it up for scrap and hung the little 25hp on gheenoe

[@terryogletree2128]

Trackers are one of the worst out there , too much to pay for shiny paint that doesn't hold up

[@ronthompson2366]

A few other items to consider.... upgrades $$$ trolling motor, $$$ electronics, $$$ power poles, $$$ prop, .... A fiberglass boat is beautiful and that comes with a cost. Routine maintenance. You have to be vigilant about washing and waxing them or that beauty goes away quickly. So you come home from the fishing trip and add that to your schedule. Additionally the weight of a fiberglass boat limits your access to the areas you can fish. Aluminum boats are capable of accessing a wider variety of water. Always upgrade your prop or at minimum get a second prop. Nothing is worse than damaging your prop and ruining your trip. Power poles are worth the cost. Upgrades to electronic devices can get very expensive very quickly. Upgrades to the trailer brakes are a good option. Greaseable wheel bearings are a must. Trailer guides are handy, especially for dark poorly lit boat ramps. So do your homework before you get a boat. They don't hold value well and you can lose money on resale. But they are a lot of fun and enjoyable to fish from. However a 60k boat that can't get to your favorite honey hole is disappointing to say the least. Plus the routine upkeep. At the same time having a bare bones boat and none of the items you want or the time to DIY the upgrades is disappointing as well.

[@TBassFactory]

You made so many good detail points Ron. There are so many factors that go into a new boat and all of the stuff down the road.

[@ronthompson2366]

Not trying to discourage the joy of having a good fishing boat. But for the person who has never had a boat. You said it, do your homework and research. You can spend a lot or a little and either way have a great boat. But if it doesn't work for the type of and places you fish... it's not a great boat.

[@TBassFactory]

I had one like inside got rid of it going for the green ones keeping it simple like the 1754 grizzly

[@TBassFactory]

That 1754 is a good boat, i like it Mike. Good decision.

[@charlesmoore7917]

I'll do anything for one of those boats!

[@TBassFactory]

Dang Charles, they are nice but not that nice ha it would be fun to have one of them

[@xxxxxxx3760]

Same the things I would do to get one

[@leemora8272]

What tracker model with the 150 hp was at that at the end of the video ?

[@TBassFactory]

I believe you are talking about the tracker 195, but the grizzly 2070 also can have a 150. I hope that helps Lee.

[@stephensee5572]

I would also have to add that the fiberglass boats not the greatest need to take care of them and with Bass pro you will need to up grade on all stuff

[@TBassFactory]

Yep, they give the bonus bucks which helps a little bit but just about everything would need an upgrade.

[@jimmycline4778]

19:21 you can get a used killer boat with a 200 or bigger motor for this price! I would never spend this much on this boat!

[@TBassFactory]

It is alot of money jimmy, lots of boats out there with 200 hp for alot less.

[@gabicocosila8812]

You know guys I like your videos and I say in the video you guys buy a jon boat

Yes sir

[@TBassFactory]

Yes they are so expensive now

[@TheRecon1a]

Trying to get back into Bass fishing after a 20year lay off...My last bass boat was a 1992 Tide Craft... I like that one tracker with the 50hp. But Don't know if I want to make that much of an investment...Might try to go to dealerships and look for used ones. I can almost justify $5k-$8k.

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah they are all nice boats, but the aluminum boats can be bought alot cheaper on facebook marketplace or craiglist. I have seen some good buys for under 5k.

[@TheRecon1a]

@@TBassFactory I have been looking and had several times I wanted to pull the trigger but First need to get a hitch put on my vehicle lol guess that where I need to start....I'm kicking myself because there was a pretty loaded 1992 model tracker aluminium bass boat 120 Miles away from me on craigslist for $1k. But I have no way to pull it yet so I really missed out on a steal.

Does anyone have a feedback on Crestliners? Been doing extensive research on these aluminum boats including Alumacraft out of Arkansas and Cretliners out of Minneapolis but it’s hard to decide. Thanks to who commented on the Mako. Been researching that one too. Gulf fishing and lakes is what I’m looking match up to. Thank you

[@TBassFactory]

I havent personally been in a crestline or have gotten to go through them. I believe they are riveted boats. Another one you should look at is Xpress they have some awesome boats as well. Hope that helps bud

[@chrisc5726]

The Bass Factory Will definitely look into that. Thank you.

[@TBassFactory]

Your welcome

[@Beachdudeca]

Great video, though looking for something that can at least manage the SF Bay and Delta

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah there are some good ones out there. From what I heard in cali its harder to find these bass pro boats. Thanks bud

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Is it possible to put a 100hp motor on the front and back of a 16ft aluminum boat at the same time for a total of 200hp' both pulling in the same direction/forwards? Do you think it would steer better than a single rear mounted engine/sharper turns and more stable?

[@TBassFactory]

I don’t think that is possible but maybe some innovation could change and make that an actual idea to try.

[@horatiomarchese3980]

Any good recommendations when it comes to cheap saltwater bay running boats. Local fishing Bluefish Stripers Porgies Fluke. 2 -4 people.

If your looking for cheap I would go to Facebook marketplace and check for some good buys.

I don’t know, call me crazy but I bought a super clean 2001 Nitro 750, replaced the wimpy 75hp with a brand new 2020 evinrude g2 115, put a ultix on front, 18k later I got a boat that rip on those 30k Trackers! I think🤔

[@TBassFactory]

Ha, that's awesome I bet that boat is super fun. Sounds like it would smoke a tracker.

[@ferchofishing]

Awesome thanks for the video man do they still have the 40th year edition for 9,999.00

[@TBassFactory]

I know I wish I could see one In person. I still have not seen one anywhere, but right now it's hard to even find a boat people are buying them so fast. Thanks bud

[@jakes5530]

Do you know how many months financed the estimated payments are based off of? What are the terms listed (down payment, interest rate, months financed, including/excluding tax, etc.)

[@TBassFactory]

I have seen so many different figures on months. > know at least 10 percent down, but I have talked to some guys that got a 20 year loan and they had like 250 mo payments for a 50k bass boat. I would not suggest that because the interest you would pay a ton over that length of time.

[@badtostada6123]

the 175 is worth it if you intend to take 4 people for sure and the larger more legit fuel tank, i went alone or with one person most of the time the heritage (160 pretty much) was all you needed in a boat for 2 people, never ran out of gas or even came close thing would run all day on that little tank. i personally found zero need for a trolling motor, the pedal with the cords was always in the way was annoying. i kept the livewell as a cooler just because i dont really keep much besides the last few i need for a tacos. when my buddy would bring his truck load of rods with him it would really annoy me.. had space for 4 rods plus like one or two on each side but thats too many even.. i got a shorter bass rod to use from the drivers seat that was my go to rod then id bring one or two others, but damn my one friend would bring like 12 rods and wow,, so much clutter on the boat. i sold my heritage to finance a move, ill be looking at a 170 pro or 175 . the added person allowance would be nice otherwise anything above the 175 is pretty much just extra carpet and engine size.. the heritage was a speedy little fishing boat i never needed it to go faster.

[@TBassFactory]

Those are some awesome Reasons to consider what you need and what you are happy with. It sounds like the heritage met your needs and I agree with the amount of people being able to go legally. Thanks for you viewpoint bud

Where is this bass pro? Here in Dallas They have the 170 pro team with the 20 hp instead of the 40 hp for the same price. Insane.

This bass pro was in san antonio. If you were planning on getting the 170 it would be worth it to make a trip down and get the 40 for the same price.

I was actually planning on going up there and checking out the outboards to see if it would cheaper to build a boat or buy them separately. Ill do an outboard video for ya bud, thanks.

[@karljshaw]

I went to the local Bass Pro Shop in Destin, FL to check out the boats. Seemed to be overpriced to me. Then I went online to see what kind of ratings the company got and they were NOT good. Service after the purchase was generally sub-standard if not worse. That took them off the table as a consideration for me. Honest, reliable service on a new boat/motor combination is a MUST ~ at least it is for me. Good luck to y'all...

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah I've been hearing the same thing it's about 50 50. I did hear though that alot of people are having better luck with the smaller dealers and not straight through bass pro.

[@franciousmcfall3522]

Do Bass Tracker Boats come with Double Axles? What is the largest they come length?

[@TBassFactory]

Most of them come with single axles because of how light they are but I believe you can get a tandem axle if it’s special ordered.

It’s hard not to go with a Mercury they are great motors, but yamahas are good too but I personally like Mercury.

My opinion: Yamaha all day..one of the best boats out there is a skeeter..and guess who owns skeeter? Yep Yamaha..that's why they all come with the SHO YAMAHA

I would look at a jon boat, great starter boat. You can find them on facebook marketplace for good prices in your are. A jon boat can get you into alot of awesome places to fish.

[@JimbobZ17]

Bought a Z17 left over from 2019. Was marked down $4,000 other than that no I wouldn’t buy from them again. Changed the electronics in the dash and it looked like a 2 year old cut it out. They washed the boat and left the plug in it and when I picked it up it was full of water. And what ever they used to wash the boat ruined the steering wheel. Warranty covered it. I would go with a local dealer next time. Very disappointed in how they chopped up my console. Lucky my son could fixed it. You are better off to go to a dealer that you trust and do your service and cover your warranty .

[@manuelslp7264]

Great video the John boats on the rack Are they aluminum or plastic?

[@TBassFactory]

The only boat bass pro has that is plastic is the pond prowler. They are affordable or under 1k, the rest are aluminum and a lot more.

[@bobbyburford8021]

They underpower all their boats

[@TBassFactory]

Yeah I would think they could put some bigger engines on there.

[@markjamerson1239]

You can always upgrade the motor on anyting Bass Pro Sales but they're only under par if you're one of the nuts that wants to run from one of the end of the lake to the other just because you can you can fish out of a kayak or you can fish out of a Jon Boat or you can fish out of one of their boats with no problem if you're not in no big hurry to just Gun and Run

[@bobbyburford8021]

Mark Jamerson appreciate your reply, however there are many great fishing spots that take time to get to. Big lakes with lots of structure.. The ability to go 30 mph vs 20 with a stock boat would be nice. Have you shopped for a boat, before? They make upgrading to a different motor very expensive especially when moving up in cylinders. Example Merc 75 to 90/115. Big cost..

Why Marvin, it depends really what kind of money your wanting to spend. I’ve been fishing out of a pelican bass raider and you can get them from academy for about $700 or you can find a used aluminum boat for around $1000 or more up to 20k but those also are trailered. I hope that helps bud.
