Research 2014 - Tracker Boats - Panfish 16

An equal-opportunity fish catcher for bass, panfish and everything in between!

The name says Panfish, but this boat is really an all-encompassing vehicle that's just as happy trolling for bass.

Whatever species you chase, you'll enjoy the nimbleness of controlling the Panfish 16, thanks to the forward-mounted stick steering setup.

Nimbly navigate stickup-ridden coves until you reach that prime position. Then, without even leaving your chair, drop the trolling motor and prowl the shore.

The Lowrance fishfinder is perfectly positioned for easy readability. And the 14-gallon (53.00 L) cushion-topped livewell is aerated to protect your catch.

Other great features include multiple storage locations (some lockable) and the custom-matched trailer with radial tires.
