Research 2014 - Tracker Boats - Targa V-18 WT

The leader of the pack.

Whether you fish for a living, or just live to fish, the Targa™ V-18 WT is loaded with more tournament-level features than any other boat in its class.

There’s NEW tilt hydraulic steering and a set-back transom to maximize performance. The walk-thru windshield protects the cockpit from wind and spray to maximize comfort in less-than-ideal conditions. The starboard console is loaded with convenience features, like a GPS-driven speedometer and Lowrance® fishfinder.

At the bow, you’ll find a Minn Kota® trolling motor with foot pedal storage. Plus, the Targa features unique 11” (27.94 cm) gunnels with integrated rod boxes.

NEW for 2014, it comes with a Bluetooth®-capable stereo and our exclusive Diamond Coat finish in one of two eye-catching colors.
