1754 Grizzly Jon Boat...

I know that pictures sell and I should have to photos to post next week, but here is a little something to wet your appetite! Location is the Memphis area. You may PM me for more information.

1754 Grizzly Jon Boat for Sale ($6,500)


This boat is ready to fish! This 17 foot all weld aluminum boat is ideal for just about any type of fishing. The open floor plan provides a spacious area for seats, coolers or gear while still providing a generous area to move around on the metal floor. The wide floor space and deep sides make this a safe boat for family fishing trips also.

This 17 foot boat comes equipped with a Tohatsu 4 stroke 20 horsepower motor. Right after the purchase of the motor, I was given access to several private lakes that do not allow larger motors. Therefore, the motor really did not see much use after that. In fact, the only hours on the motor is the break in time, so the motor itself is practically new with very little use.

The boat also comes with a 55 pound thrust, variable speed Minn Kota trolling motor. The variable speed trolling motors are more expensive, but they sure do earn their keep when you do not want to spook fish up close. The deep cycle battery is brand new and was purchased for this sale. A nice padded removable seat is provided that can be used either on the front or rear of the boat.

Crappie fishermen will love the four-pole spider rigging rod holders that are secured to the front deck. They can be removed while either bass fishing, traveling or when the boat is in storage. When you desire to troll, there are pole holders for each side. The custom sliders permit the rod holders to be conveniently located along the gunnels (front, back or in-between). Flush mounted bow and stern light mounts are convenient when just “one more cast” turns in to several as the sun sets in the distance (lights are included).

The trailer is a heavy-duty trailer built for the 1754 Grizzly. The metal fenders have metal steps that allow a quick and safe entry into the boat. The tires offer plenty of tread for miles of towing pleasure.

She has been a wonderful fishing rig, but I find myself fishing smaller private lakes with my kayak due to limited time and the availability of some small nearby private lakes. My loss, your gain! ($6,500)

Just North of you in the Memphis area (North MS). If I had seen your post earlier, I could have stopped by to say hello. I had a quick trip to Cleveland, MS this morning and just made it back home. Drove by the Dundee area on Hwy. 61 twice today!

what brand of spider rig mount is that on the front? I have the same boat but center console and am wanting to get a rig like that. Nice looking boat by the way. I like the versa track on these boats you can put your rod holders anywhere you want without drilling holes. Thanks

Those are DriftMaster Rod Holders, kinda pricey but they are plenty sturdy and have met all my needs. You are right about the versa tracks on these boats. It is nice not to have holes drilled into your boat unnecessarily. When my wife and kids would go with me, we would fish 4 poles up front and 2 on each side with the sliding pole holders. They preferred lounging in those folding camp chairs with the arm rests where they could prop their feet up on the gunnels and fish like they are sitting on the couch. With the sliding pole holders they could fish either towards the front or pull from the back. Usually their choice was based upon the sun direction verses fishing strategy. :-)

$6500... or make offer!

1754 Grizzly Tracker Jon Boat for Sale

$6,500

17 foot All Weld Aluminum Boat with spacious 54” floor width
Tohatsu 4 stroke 20 horsepower (approx. 13 hours on motor)
Minn Kota Traxxis 55 pound thrust with Variable Speed Upgrade
Tracker Boat Trailer with Aluminum Fenders, Step Plates, and Long Bunk Guide Pads
Drift Master Spider Rig Rod Holders
Custom Versa Track Sliders for either Extra Rod Holders or Multi Rod Transport
Installed Flush Mount Wired Plugs for included Bow/Stern Navigational Lights
Comfortable Removable Padded Seat with Raised Seat Post
New Deep Cycle Battery for Trolling Motor

I would be willing to sell the boat, trolling motor and the crappie gear without the 20 hp Tohatsu motor if there is any interest. $5,000.
My obvious preference is to sell everything together, but I realize some individuals already have motors or may prefer a larger one even though this 20 hp will move this boat as fast as I care to go. So, $5,000 for everything except the Tohatsu 20 hp if interested or $6,500 for the complete rig. PM if interested.

Great outfitted rig! Put it on the boat of the month contest for some extra eyes to see. Some one not looking themselves may know someone looking for just this setup..
Good luck

I need this boat for duck hunting and have every intention of getting a boat like this.....timing is just bad on my end for the moment! Building shop with house to follow. I figure I am at least a year away.

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate, especially with building a new house and shop! You will be glad when it's all complete... just don't forget to stop and smell the fish, I mean ducks, along the way! :)

Of my now 82 years, I can look back and say that life has been a continuous series of opportunities.
Most of which I missed, and not always for good enough reasons. lol

*** Price Reduced ***

$6,000 for everything except the new battery and seat. Y'all are killing me, that's $500 off! I need this boat gone since I don't use it anymore. I am exclusively using my kayak for fishing now since it is too quick and easy to fish some of these smaller private lakes around my house. Nothing is wrong with the boat, motor, trailer or any of the gear... it just needs a new home since I've started fishing out of a kayak. I believe it was a fair price at $6,500 and at $6,000 it is even sweeter! Let me know if you have any questions or just want to purchase it before your neighbor does...

I assume that you are joking... There are no dents on the boat. What you are seeing is where the sheet metal has been welded to the internal frame and the angle of the sun along with the slight angel of the metal might give it that appearance. but I assure you when you are there beside the boat looking/inspecting it, you will see what I mean and that there are no dents on the boat. Just sun, camera angle and the way Tracker welds their boats. It was bought that way.

Also, the boat has never been on any Antarctica excursions breaking through any ice nor have any ice bags been banged on the boat. She has been babied all her life and only driven around the block on Sunday to Church to watch the fishing that goes on behind the Church on Sunday afternoons... :)

Like that!!

How fast does it run with 1 person in it?

How fast you ask... Faster than Michael Phelps can swim!

I have never clocked it or held a GPS up to see, but I know that it travels faster than I care to go most of the time* and even with gear and a family of four, I've never even noticed a reduction in speed (there isn't a lot of weight in the boat itself because of it's open floor plan). But keep in mind that of the 13 hours that I've run the motor, only about 30 minutes or so have been wide open because of the break in period. I've followed the manual for the break in period. So it's plenty fast for my needs, but it isn't a speed boat. If speed is what you are looking for perhaps a heavier fiberglass bass boat that would be more designed to handle the beating that a 300 hp could deliver. :-)

* On Sardis Lake in Mississippi where the wind and wave is often noticeable and felt at higher speeds.

This is a very nice looking boat and I have fished out of a Grizzly Tracker and really like them and the open floor plan. I am just worried that I might not be happy with the 20 hp, I fish the Tenn River and sometimes run a good ways. If I knew how fast it would run it would give me something to think about. I currently have an old Lowe 16 x 48 with a 40 hp and it is plenty fast for me, but I am not sure how fast it runs. I have been wanting to upgrade to a 1754 Grizzly or 1756 G3 and was thinking 40 or 50 hp. I also fish out of a Kayak more than my boat so I some days wonder if I even need a boat. Definitely not interested in the big bass boat and gas bill that goes along with it, I have been there and done that, but I may be hunting more in the 40 to 60 hp range. I like your boat and have been trying to decide do I need to call and make a drive.

Boat just sold!
I appreciate all the interest.

Glad you sold it.
