2021 Tracker Targa V19 Combo Product Review - The Green Way Outdoors 

I'm near lake Erie also. Very south west corner.

@@Don-ul6rx we launch at Fenwick usually so not too far away!

I think tracker is about 8mos out for delivery. I would check with dealer.

Hi Don! Sounds like they made the right move on the trolling motor. The LED lights are an interesting addition! Let us know if you figure it out. We would love green ones in ours. Just a tip though, we have a 2023 tracker grizzly too and they put Amber colored lights in it from factory. They chose amber because it didn’t attract mosquitoes. I would say they are right. As far as a tube, you just can’t use the pole. I bought this splitter to go on the back 2 hooks, then just connected the tube line right to it. Works perfectly! www.basspro.com/shop/en/xps-8-rider-boat-tow-harness-with-float-and-heavy-duty-quick-connect Also, if you’re interested, check out our actual tv show too!

I’m going to be getting the tournament edition with the 225. How you like ti?

We haven’t had that problem

@@TheGreenWayOutdoors Um, why do you have a 2nd engine? You didn’t talk about it. Why? What’s it for? I need answers. The price?

@@travelinman482 it's for trolling at low speed. Saves hours on the big, expensive engine.

@@gusbell1334 Wouldn’t a bigger, electric trolling motor be better than a gas powered engine? I mean, you’re trying to gas and all. Not too mention, the extra weight of a 2nd gas engine.

@@travelinman482 Yes, until your battery runs out using that big, more powerful trolling motor. More power equals less battery time. Introducing, the kicker motor! It is a small 4-stroke that uses much less fuel, runs at lower RPMs and is easily controlled at slower speeds. The weight is around 80 pounds so not that much and over time it will pay for itself in less wear on your big pricey engine. Hope that helps!

Yes! We run a spreader off the two hooks on the back of the boat and that connects right to a tube line. Works perfect. If you send us a message on fb or IG (The Green Way Outdoors) I will send you a picture to see the setup.

@@TheGreenWayOutdoors Excellent - thank you for that advice. I have this same boat and absolutely love it - would recommend to anyone. Thanks for this video - reminds me of all the things I really like about the tracker targa. Very well done.

@@JohnSmith-fs4dx the ski tow pylon is supported by the same .125 welded aluminum structure the hull is made from. The pylon is supported by the entire rear aluminum deck. I asked several times, both sales and Tracker factory, and then did a full inspection of the structure myself. The boat can indeed handle pulling a tube. As with anything, if you're acting a fool and putting jerking loads or going WOT at the start then you run a risk of damaging the boat, as you would with any boat. If you do not have a kicker motor there is a hoop ring you can get that attaches to the engine mount. Just take it easy when pulling a tube. The boat is designated as a ski/fish boat. Even Tracker posts videos of the boat easily towing tubes and skiers. I've found nothing in any of the documentation nor heard anything that advises against towing a tube.

@@ryanskare6670 Good info and thank you for your reply!
