Bump...I too am looking at this product. Anyone have any issues with this beside the small tank. I am comparing it with the Alumacraft and the Triton. Still a couple of months from pulling the trigger.

Thanks

My dad just got a 1754 grizzly a 2007. he just got the base package with the 25hp 4 stroke. besides it being underpowered it handles water nice, its a heavy boat, sterdy, and a great all around boat. the camo scratches pretty easy but like any aluminum boat its going to get scratches. A little green paint will touch up the spots. It still runs 21mph with the small motor. He is already looking at a 40-50 etec evinrude to replace the 25hp. I really like the boat and so does he. For the price they are good boats. The welds are not the nicest, but they seem very strong.

With any luck your Grizzly won't shake apart like mine has. Over the course of two years it has had to have over 40 welds rewelded and the floor re-riveted at least 5 times all at a cost to me by having the boat tied up for months at a time. Beware Tracker Grizzly is a piece of junk and support from Tracker is non-existent.

I havent had any problems with welds but did replace all rivits on floor with screws. No problems since.

Re: Grizzly 1860 SC

Just put down a deposit on an 1860 Grizzly Jon yesterday! I know my dealer and anticipate no problems. He does warranty work with no qualms for people! I couldn't afford the SC package deal and quite frankly didn't even know that the 1860SC was capable of handling a 90 HP motor!
I hope I have better luck than some of you guys!
