So glad I own basically this same boat. 1988 Fisher 16' with a 40 hp. Bought in 2019 for $2400. Best boat I've ever owned - can go anywhere and still fishes the big lakes just fine. 30 mph is easy and I can't catch fish going that fast anyway! Lol! I LOVE the simplicity of this layout. Of course I wanted a heritage edition but 10k was too much for us with all the other stuff we have... but honestly, I'm selling some of my other boats and toys now. A short, lighter, aluminum boat with a 40 is PLENTY. It goes 2 weekends on 6 gallons of gas! It seems like we catch more fish too...maybe its quieter....lighter.... I dunno, but I love it. If you ever get a chance to fish one if these rigs... do it. You may end up like me choosing it over some other boats you already own and thought were "better!"
I worked in the tracker plant that makes the trailers when the first bass tracker heritage edition was made. we also got a trailer in that we had to rebuild and it was one of the first bass tracker boats made. it was going to be given away as a prize but I think it actually went on display.
I so remember this boat my pee Paul had this same boat in 1984 and if they make this boat again I’m getting one new that’s for sure it brings back so many memories
I retired in 2021 . I ordered my 16 ft vee guide with the 50 merc. It's solid, takes ruff water great. And does everything I want. It was 2500 cheaper than the nearest competitor.
This boat is hot! Ordered mine yesterday! Really a nice package... Actually "downsold" me to this one over similar trackers. I thought I would just walk in and buy one... But they only had one which was sold and there were 7 people ahead of me... One guy was about to buy a pro model and jumped in on getting one of these after wall "ooh-ahhh'd" over it. People really want this boat, get it now while you can. Bass Pro said we might not get ours until February... I will be looking else where to see if I cannot get one sooner! I am so ready for this boat! Comes with a $400 gift card, boat cover, and 20% for two years at Bass Pro. Bill Dance is so funny and such a sales person... Everything he says sound like a sale, yet I take it earnestly.
If I'm not mistaken..........it lacks a critical component that ALL bass boats ( and many other fishing boats ) are known for............WHERE'S THE LIVE WELL?
I guess that's better than no livewell at all. 9 gal is awful small for a 5 bass limit, and it's definitely too small for a combination of a limit that includes 1 or 2 bass over 7 lbs. Hey, I'm not knocking ya......if ya like the boat & it makes you happy, then I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it. But for the life of me, I don't know why they didn't put at least a 20 gal livewell where they normally go in the rear deck, and then simply use that space in front of the console for storage. They could've done that for only a couple hundred dollars more added to the total price. I bought a brand new "Twin Troller X-10" small fishing boat 15 months ago, and at least they have an optional portable live well custom-made for it. I bought that too. It's 14 gal, and does hold 5 nice fish. I wish you all the best with your new Tracker.........it does look really nice! Tight Lines-
Hot dog I am sold 🤣😂🤣🤣😂 Legends approved WOW. Paw paw sure is smiling from heaven today thanks tracker. Remembering your roots will make you sale all you can make and make people who own it proud to. Thanks again God bless!!!!!!
I'm building a retaining wall and tearing down a fence to build a parking spot with this exact boats dimensions in mind. I hope I can get one and make it happen. It just needs a Bluetooth enabled tape deck with giant chrome buttons to complete.
this is awesome, i ordered mine first day from the calgary basspro up in canada. cant wait to get er out in bc this summer!! if it wasnt for this boat i wouldnt be getting a boat haha
spagfishing it depends on how you set it up ... it's only 99 a month if you do a 12 year plan and have excellent credit .. I opted for a 5yr plan and it's 180 a month
This is a awesome video. It has three bad to the bone bass fisherman in it talking about bass tracker boats and there even funnier than they was when they was younger..shit made me wanna go buy one.
I’m 31 only went fishing 6 times in my life I plan to get one of these because of price for my wife and kid to go fish and to just Cruz around in. The only problem is that it’s only 6 gallons of fuel I know you can add a tank but I would need a 20 gallon tank
I had one of these and will never buy another one. The only thing good about the boat was the motor. If it ever rains on the boat it will take two months for the seats to dry out. The seats may look dry but just sit in them for a couple of minutes. The storage lockers leak so bad you will never keep anything dry. When the lockers do dry out they will smell of mold. The extensions for the seats will swell if wet and you will never get the seats off of them. The cleats are so small that they are useless. I have had boats all of my life. The first job I had was working for a marine dealership. I have never had a boat I didn't like until this one. Glad I sold it.
Tracker boats is one of the best run companies, I bet with this covid mess they have locked in crazy low prices on aluminum and other supplies, they will be able to kick out 10's of thousands of these, and bass pro wont be able to keep up selling rods, baits, and etc. sure wish I owned some stock...
Too bad a few years later is 15995.95 ......In March of 2021 Bass Pro Granddaddy store had them for 12995.95 in their monthly flyer but when I went to buy one, the a-hole salesman refused to sell one for that, as he claimed the price was 15995.95 and didn't care what the ad said....They even had the printed copy on the boat but the salesman told me it was 15995.95 period. I contacted HQ in regards to this issue and they gave me the sorry for being treated bad but they wouldn't honor the printed price.....Pretty sad.
Look. Love all three of these guys. But they didn’t show the boat. Open up the compartments. Show the dash. It’s not their fault. You need to direct them.
Yankee Tanker Outdoors no need to they talked about what matters to people who fished all the time. Ride comfort warranty etc. Believe me Louisiana boys know what it takes 24 7 365 and tracker has it.
I made videos on here from my bass tracker and when i sold after owning it for 7 years i cryed, and i uploaded that video on here FatBoy Dan crying over his boat. Id love to have that boat yall got.
Heroes is true buttttttt spokemanship is of the essence these days. Publicity is key. Global marketing lol. How much do you think these 3 legends made in the process. Good for them but who's the robot in this adddddddddd.
Mike West for the price you can’t expect amazing finish on them. As long as they hold up to the wear and tear and float. Not a bad bang for buck from what I’ve seen if you want new.
It's okay but it just half ass looks retro. Why? The engine. If they know they are going to put out maybe 10,000 units or even 1,000, then why didn't they ask mercury to pop out a "retro" shaped cowling for the outboards? Hell, at least retro engine graphics would not even cost $5 more per boat! The engine looks just ruin the whole thing for me.
chris smith that's another $5+ you'd pay. You know Tracker probably got a great deal on those ELPT 40HP Mercs in order to make so many of these Heritage boats.
I don't understand what you are saying. They have been making 1000's of 40hp motors for years.If this is some special deal for tracker, then WHY NOT make them look retro? Do YOU not see the total clash of "retro" boat with modern motor? Just a waste to me. Why not just put 20" rims on the trailer also?
chris smith the deal comes from the fact that Tracker DIDN'T order a special edition aesthetic Mercury. Use the trusty, standard 40ELPT, bought in bulk and pass those savings off to the customer. When buying in bulk, the more you buy, the less each individual unit costs. They're trying to squeeze every bit of savings they can into this, without hurting the quality. Sure, a pinstriped Merc would look killer, but it doesn't hurt my opinion of it one bit. I spoke to a guy who won't buy it solely because if the brown carpet LOL
Then why buy it? You want an older looking tracker with a modern looking engine? They are everywhere. Just go buy one for $5000 and add fake old school trailer wheels. This just goes back to my original comment.
Watching these guys do this advert is like watching old fat cat rock stars doing a concert. .... or the Rammstein Keine Lust video -- ua-cam.com/video/1M4ADcMn3dA/v-deo.html
These boats are very poorly built. A lot of the welds in the aluminum look like they're close to burning through. The carpet is look inside the storage compartments and you'll see carpet that is coming off. Not to mention all of the debris inside from the production line. I build rv's, so I know some of the things to look for. To me, they're built in the same manner as an rv. Slam it down the line so they can go home. Cover up any flaws. I am also the owner of a bass tracker pro 17.
It's awesome seeing these guys. I grew up watching them every weekend.
😮 wonder bill dance had pay $9999 plus tax or Johnny Morris give free bill dance endorse on fishing show
I still got my Grandpas 1980 👍. Has the old Mariner 30 on it. Still works like a charm
I wish they stil made it.. I did buy a tracker but man why stop? we would buy them all!!!! Love these guys
So Cool !!! 3 of my Heroes, Idols, together, talking about fishing boats, I will get one someday.
3 absolute legends.

Looks just like the 1984 Tracker I had. Had it for 20 years. Great old boat.
Three greats fishing men.!!! Of all time. Then and now.!!!!!!!
From Nashville Tn.
Three fishing legends.
How bout selling it for the old 'nostalgic' price of $2995 ?....LOL
Im just a college kid and im saving 12 grand for a new one at bass pro
Guess you never heard of inflation 😄
I retired in 2021 . I ordered my 16 ft vee guide with the 50 merc. It's solid, takes ruff water great. And does everything I want. It was 2500 cheaper than the nearest competitor.
What's the vee guide?
Love it I would love to go fishing with all those guys at least 1 time man there great guys
Cool. I grew up watching these guys.
Wow, three of the best. Unbelievable!!

It has a small 9gal livewell. It front of the console

Wish the auto industry would have the same vision/concept about trucks!
Love these guys. Good all around guys for fishing. 🎣
My son just found the original in really decent condition, it's a collectors item now.
I bought mine in the 80"s. Paid around 5 grand and had it trailered from the factory to LA. Had a 25 Merc and was fully loaded for fishing.
Damn near the half price of a house
@@mattlord2906 Back then the house was $45K...now $230K
I'm building a retaining wall and tearing down a fence to build a parking spot with this exact boats dimensions in mind. I hope I can get one and make it happen. It just needs a Bluetooth enabled tape deck with giant chrome buttons to complete.
So did you get it?
this is awesome, i ordered mine first day from the calgary basspro up in canada. cant wait to get er out in bc this summer!! if it wasnt for this boat i wouldnt be getting a boat haha

spagfishing it depends on how you set it up ... it's only 99 a month if you do a 12 year plan and have excellent credit .. I opted for a 5yr plan and it's 180 a month
i bought it straight up
I love your tracker grizzly 1760
If they make another one I will buy it
Do you think if you bought one now with 100 hours on it. Would it be worth $11,000 ?
This is a awesome video. It has three bad to the bone bass fisherman in it talking about bass tracker boats and there even funnier than they was when they was younger..shit made me wanna go buy one.
Would love to have one of these Boats.
Wonder if they'll make an anniversary model for the bass Tracker 2?
They are, I just ordered one, it has a 50 hp outboard though, not a 40 like last year.
You need that storage for a bigger live well. It is a good deal though.
Legends of the sport! Nice boat too
Hopefully get mine in a few days!
Dario Ortiz I’m 3 weeks so far since I ordered mine. Haven’t heard anything yet.. hope to hear something soon myself
Did you get it?
I got one of these boat and I love it have a great time on it but my boat cover decal is already peeling right off of it
I’m 31 only went fishing 6 times in my life I plan to get one of these because of price for my wife and kid to go fish and to just Cruz around in. The only problem is that it’s only 6 gallons of fuel I know you can add a tank but I would need a 20 gallon tank
All the legends!!!
Love you guys. Great job. One hotdog a day!!😉

Great looking rig...just too small for my family.the tracker boat I want is 50k :(
Whats the motor Warranty that’s prob one of the most important
Fishizzle Tv 5 years covers everything
Paid for mine over 2 weeks ago, just waiting for it to come in
Ivan V how much did the monthly payments come out to be?
Ivan V thanks for the info bro
Too bad a few years later is 15995.95 ......In March of 2021 Bass Pro Granddaddy store had them for 12995.95 in their monthly flyer but when I went to buy one, the a-hole salesman refused to sell one for that, as he claimed the price was 15995.95 and didn't care what the ad said....They even had the printed copy on the boat but the salesman told me it was 15995.95 period. I contacted HQ in regards to this issue and they gave me the sorry for being treated bad but they wouldn't honor the printed price.....Pretty sad.
How long is this boat? 16 foot?
Can you get these in Canada?
My question is when are they going to bring it back they should of made one again for the 50years ansersry
How much faster is the 4 stoke than the original 2 strike 40? I know it’s more fuel efficient
Callie_Dan no real difference in speed. More fuel efficient and quiter, for sure. And you don't have to mix your fuel. Win-win.
My goals is to get a boat
Look. Love all three of these guys. But they didn’t show the boat. Open up the compartments. Show the dash. It’s not their fault. You need to direct them.
Yankee Tanker Outdoors no need to they talked about what matters to people who fished all the time. Ride comfort warranty etc. Believe me Louisiana boys know what it takes 24 7 365 and tracker has it.
That's all I need!
Great old farts. It's good to see Roy Orbison again.
I would love to own my self a boat to fish out of. But I don't think I will ever get one.
Larry Moe &curly mainstreams best corporate fiishing
Wish I could afford one
awesome
They still talk trash to one another. Lol. Still competing at everything. My idols all, great boat. Unbelievable price
Mine is already in my garage!
Merkey Dizzle when did you order yours?
bryan binkley
Dec 18th
Lucky you!! I can't wait to get mine... It is on order. I am on the west coast and most stores only had one boat... I order in December.
So how much did the monthly payments come out to?
SpagFishing
With 500 down it was either $160 for 6 years or $105 for 10 years.
2995 in 1978 equates to about 12000 today.
I made videos on here from my bass tracker and when i sold after owning it for 7 years i cryed, and i uploaded that video on here FatBoy Dan crying over his boat. Id love to have that boat yall got.
Heroes is true buttttttt spokemanship is of the essence these days. Publicity is key. Global marketing lol. How much do you think these 3 legends made in the process. Good for them but who's the robot in this adddddddddd.
I remember just about every show bill would fall out of his boat someway lol
Shipping dates on this boat is ridiculous! Over two months waiting list after you make a down payment.
These 3 could sell anything fishing related just by being in the picture
interesting videos...
Sure made up for price in 2021 18k to take one home today
I’m dying laughing right now
0:17, 0:21, 0:30, 2:33 i cant buy that so ill just stick with my jon boat 1:33 the jon boat can go more places then the bass tracker.
Saw one of these the other day, the welds were terrible. The fit and finish was terrible.
Mike West for the price you can’t expect amazing finish on them. As long as they hold up to the wear and tear and float. Not a bad bang for buck from what I’ve seen if you want new.

chris smith where are they selling these $5k trackers? Unless it’s used then yes I’ve seen a couple in the 5-8k range around my area.
Omg...Bill looking really really old
Watching these guys do this advert is like watching old fat cat rock stars doing a concert.
.... or the Rammstein Keine Lust video -- ua-cam.com/video/1M4ADcMn3dA/v-deo.html
3 years ago 9995.00... today 12995.00!!! 3000 bucks higher in 3 years. No thanks they are now price gouging!!
Price one now in 2023 lol
It is a Panfish boat at best if you are a tournament fisherman a Bass over three pounds won’t fit in it.
These boats are made so cheaply made watch out !
OK NO IT ALL

I've had mine for over a yr now. Good boat but trolling motor is junk. Everything else is good.
Where’s Hank Parker?
