grizzy welded jon boats by tracker?

Im interested in buying a, all welded grizzly jon boat..does anyone own one, or have any comments, about the quality. there a little cheaper than a alumacraft,lowe,landau but seem to be built very well? any info appreciated...

I've been looking into "johnny's " for a long time. War eagle is real good. Seaark is rigth up there too. Most likely the best. Sizes to 20'

NOT A FAN OF THE GRIZZLY- WITH USE IN BIG WATER OR HARD USE WELDS POP . WAR EAGLE IS THE WAY TO GO - PROBABLY FIND A DEALER WITH CLOSE OUTS THIS TIME OF YEAR. CHECK THE GUYS IN JANESVILLE = GREAT TO WORK WITH AND FAIR ON PRICE

GOOD LUCK

I have had a 1648 Grizzly for about 10 years now. It's set up with a long shaft Yamaha 15 hp 4-stroke. I just bought the boat only & put my own motor on it. I've had zero problems with my limited use. It's very stable on the water.

Talk to Beaver at Jerry's boats. No matter which model boat I looked he priced it way better than any other dealer. It was well worth the drive from Waukesha to buy a boat from Beaver.

THANX, for info. Still comparing. I figure i got a month or 2 yet. but, want to buy b4 spring, and all the chaos begins.. thanx again and info. still appreciated.

I did a lot of comparing before I bought my mod-v boat, I would have the war eagle but the price was too high, When looking at construction/motor capacity I had to rule out polarcraft and grizzly, I got the alumacraft. It's high sides are good for larger water yet even with a 60hp I can pole it into 3" or less with no problem.

Get a war eagle, higher quality welds and stronger aluminum for about the same price. I feel there is more space in the war eagles as well.

We had a Grizzly Blind Duck version. There were a few bugs right away but nothing major. The boat itself was awesome and we really liked it, and used it mostly on the river. A couple of the tack welds in the subfloor let go but we didn't worry about it.

The Chinese Black motor on the other hand was a POS!

I have the Grizzy 17" model and I love it won it at SBOBT in fall years back, boat is great for getting into skinny water and it can go out in big water with the right conditions. It is not like your typical jon boats has nice high sides and not worried about taking water over side, front or back. only problem I have encountered is rivets breaking but just pop some bigger ones in. I like taking it where my glass boat would get damaged from running up on rocks.

I have a 1448, new in 2001 and love it. The thing is no rivets and thick enough that if you do damage it somehow it is easy to weld/repair. The short shaft version does take on water in rough seas (not a big water boat) but the setup I have with a 25 Yamaha 4 stroke will putt along in about 8 inches of water (great river boat) I live on the Peshtigo river.

4 Reel, Don't know about a jon boat but if your intrested I'm selling a 14' deep V Alumacraft with locator, 25 HP Johnson, Minnkota trolling motor and more.
