Nice boat man! My buddy has one of the 22' G3 with a 200 Yamaha V Max that he uses pulling a 35' trawl net. It's a beast. I like all the room the aluminum boats have, and they have great storage space. Make sure you keep that trailer washed really good. (Inside and out) Enjoy! You got everything covered that you need.
The best thing about this review is including your sons by far! My son and I also do everything together. Dude is literally my best friend 😂. We have a ProDrive cc so we get to do a lot of different stuff in that boat all of which is exciting!
Wouldn’t change it for the world! Those two boys are always out on the boat with me doing stuff. A ProDrive would be cool, I see them all the time but never been in one.
I plan on doing a video of it very soon. I can tell you top speed is 50mph give or take a little depending on how much boat is loaded. I had it in pretty rough water, trim up the motor to pick the bow up doing about 20mph you will be fine. Not a deep V so not smoothest in rough water. Motor is quiet at idle but can here it when you get on it. Been in water less than a foot with big motor and no problems at all. Super stable in the water too. I will hopefully have one out in a week or two going over all this.
Have had the 2072 for a little over 2 hrs now..love it! Was looking reference to putting a Bimini on mine as well. Can you tell the one you have, would like to order it. You spoke of the boat paint. I can say chips are getting me as well but I’m hard on mine as well. Rattle can took care of it and one of the reasons I ordered it other than a glass. Room for days as I guide and have no issue with taking a 4 person trip…stable as they come and a tank. Like those rod holder mounts you made up. Thx for the vid. TN Fishing Addiction if you want to see how I did the front of the boat up on TH-cam. Thx again
Thanks! I bought the Bimini off Amazon, it’s a 4 bow 8’Lx54Hx91”-96”W for I think $250. That width fits perfect right to the versatrack. Rod holders work great especially when the top is up, gonna add 2 more instead of just 4. I do need to do some touch up but that’s the nice thing about aluminum boats. I’ll definitely check your video out!
@@kraemersfishing4336 ended up getting a buddy to make me a rod rack for the back for catfishing. I can put 6 rods back there but the side holders I use for trolling. Front I rigged up for 2 people. Boat has room for days lol. I do like how the yours has that rim around the storage doors to keep water out and let it drain. Let me know if you figure out how to route your cables from up front to the rear. Mine seems to be sealed off at the live well. Tried a snake and other methods but can’t get one ran to connect my HB units
Thanks! I fished out of a 1995 16’ Alumacraft for years and finally was able to buy the 2072. Hopefully I’ll have some videos of the boat on the water and some fishing in the low country.
Is it for a 48” bench seat and how many rod holders would you like on it? Do you live around Charleston SC? If not I’ll let you know shipping cost as well.
Question I have the same boat and after seeing your video I tracked down that awesome bench seat. Have not received it yet. My question is how did you mount it? Did you have to remove the cover to the fuel tank?
On the bottom of the seat there is 1/2” thick plastic base, I took the gas tank hatch off and used stainless screws to screw it down to the hatch. After that I screwed the hatch back in the boat. I think I put 8 screws in total. Definitely is a sold setup!
I haven’t looked for a bow rail light setup for the boat. I been thinking of making one for mine. It would be very convenient to have one, especially in the versa-track so it would be removable.
Gotta pick your days for sure. I always have my two sons with me (7 and 4 year old) so if it’s gonna be real rough out I choose not to go. I just stay inland. But I have been out there number of times and been fine.
Tracker did not offer a light bar. The dealer I went through did ask if I wanted any add ons to the boat and the dealer would install. They also said they can add into loan. Not sure if every dealer does that or not. .100” 5052 aluminum
The seat is from company called Tempress. I believe they are out in Texas. It’s a really nice and well made seat. For the backrest/rod rack I made that.
Could you use this boat in salt water as a bay boat or small water boat? Would you say that this boat is a glorified Jon boat, from what you say you use it in fresh and salt water.
I use this boat in salt water about 70% of the time I take it out. I normally run back in the marsh and sight fish for reds, trout and flounder. I also go in the harbor and fish for bull reds and shrimp out of it. It is a flat bottom boat with only a 7 degree dead rise so on rougher days in the inlet wouldn’t be as comfortable ride as a deep v. I trim the motor up a little to get bow up. I have always been fine and I been in some rough water.
If it isn't too much trouble, can you get me an overall measurement from the back of the motor to the end of the trailer? Need to know if it'll fit my garage. Also, did they off a galvanized trailer?
Not at all. Total length from tongue to motor is 27’ the motor was slightly tilted up and straight. I would say motor tilted down you would save 10” or so. They did not offer galvanized or aluminum. Only offer they had was a single or dual axel setup.
The boat tows very good. I would recommend the dual axle trailer. I’ve had the boat almost two years now and no issues with wheel bearings or anything like that. Only one downfall, when you are backing up with the boat the brake actuator engages and starts locking up brakes. I kept having to put pin in to disable brakes. I eventually kept the pin in and left them disabled all the time. Boat is not that heavy for breaks. Launching is no problem, when unhooking winch hang on to handle the boat slides a little and the handle will grab you. Retrieving is good, as long as you get the boat inside the two guides the boat will center up every time.
Tracker always offers a small hp option never buy it upgrade to the most hp the boat is rated for I made that mistake and wasn't happy until I got the maximum hp makes a big difference I also have the woodland camo paint if you need camo the grass camouflage makes more sense I don't know where woodland camouflage works on the nice boat
Whew that sucks! That’s an expensive cushion too! I got the bench seat from Tempress. It’s a company out in Texas, very well made seat. I am very happy with it
I fish salt water all the time. I fish what we call the back country in the marsh for reds, trout and flounder. I trim motor up and use trolling motor I can get less than a foot of water. I also do shrimping and crabbing with it too. If I get stuck in rough water I trim up to get bow high and do 15-20mph. It will be a little bit of a rough ride but never felt like I was in trouble.
Thanks for the review. Very helpful. Can’t wait to see more upgrades in the future.
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned I’m gonna have some fishing trips and boat upgrades coming soon.

@@kraemersfishing4336 they are extremely fun! They not fastest thing in the water but they are the next best thing to an airboat.
Nice Rig , I had an aluminum tracker before i got my Fiberglass boat man i miss my aluminum! They are phenomenal boats!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching
Sweet boat

But yours is actually my dream boat , very nice
I appreciate it!
Can we please get a video of it in the water? Showing how fast it goes with the 150. How smooth of a ride. How loud/quiet it is. Stuff like that.

Dude great review!!
Thanks! Going to do a review with the boat on the water soon.
Is there a hand rail available for the front to put lights on and still use a trolling motor
Love the bench seat I got the 1860 with a 90hp .I'm going to look for the bench seat for sure .nice rig
Thanks man I appreciate it. Check out Tempress, that’s who makes my bench seat. Very nice quality

Question what job did you have from young to older age?? Just need advice lol
looked at the same boat ended up not able to get it but i love the boat man i live in sc as well in mcclellanville sc

@@kraemersfishing4336 hell ya man hit me up if you ever this way
I am interested in the seat back rest you made, how much?
Is it for a 48” bench seat and how many rod holders would you like on it? Do you live around Charleston SC? If not I’ll let you know shipping cost as well.
I live in Jacksonville, NC. I was looking at the same seat as you. And I think 4 rod holders would work.

Great video. Any way you made two of those seat back rests?
I built another but my brother got it for his boat. Are you wanting to get one?
I like to fish Santee Cooper is why I’d like a rail to put lights on a 2072 I’m not interested in the bow deck that’s available

@@kraemersfishing4336 totally agree have you thought about a Jack plate my buddy has the same boat same set up and he gained about 5 mph on top
Jack plate you can get motor up more when running on plane you can run in less water like 10 inches or less
@@Outdoors_with_kg4muk_Wayne I have not, but that is a great idea. I’m going to have to look into that.
How does it do like jetty fishing is it to rough?
Gotta pick your days for sure. I always have my two sons with me (7 and 4 year old) so if it’s gonna be real rough out I choose not to go. I just stay inland. But I have been out there number of times and been fine.
SC shoutout!
Nice boat . Is there an option for a front light bar and how thick is the bottom ?

Hey did the aftermarket seat come from BassPro? is it a Tracker accessory?
Hey, nope it is not from bass pro. I got the seat from a company called Tempress. It is a well made seat, I am very happy with the quality of it.
Can you please tell me where you got that bench seat? I just bought a 2024 grizzly tracker 2072 and the cushion blew off 😅
Whew that sucks! That’s an expensive cushion too! I got the bench seat from Tempress. It’s a company out in Texas, very well made seat. I am very happy with it
