Research 2012 - Tracker Boats - Targa V-18 WT

The pick of serious anglers, tournament pros and fishing guides.

When fishing is your business—or a passion you live for—the Targa™ V-18 Walk Thru comes with more standard equipment and unique, pro-level fishing features than any boat in its class.

For instance, a full 8-1/2-foot (2.59 m) beam for unparalleled fishing room above deck—and cavernous livewells and storage below. A set-back transom for faster overall performance.

Tilt steering. Upgraded trolling motor and fishfinder. Onboard battery charger. Super-wide 11” (27.94 cm) gunnels with non-skid step pads and integrated rod boxes. Bow storage nets. Even a stereo and swim platform.
