Research 2015 - Tracker Boats - Panfish 16

The name says panfish, but this solidly-built, easy-to-drive boat is just as comfortable trolling for walleye or casting for bass.

Whatever species you chase, you'll enjoy nimble control and increased visibility—thanks to the forward-mounted stick-steering setup. Easily navigate stump fields and shorelines until you reach the perfect crappie hole. Then, without even leaving your chair, drop the trolling motor and start fishing.

The new Lowrance Elite - 3x COLOR fishfinder is perfectly positioned for easy readability. And the 14-gallon (53.00 L) cushion-topped livewell, situated in the center of the boat for convenience, is aerated to protect your catch..

The five storage compartments include port and starboard rod lockers that can each hold rods up to 7' long.

The whole package includes a powerful and efficient 40HP Mercury EL FourStroke outboard, and rides on a custom-matched trailer with GALVASHIELD corrosion protection.
