This limited warranty applies only to the portions of the boat manufactured by
TRACKER.
Starweld Transom and hull design vs. Tracker
Starweld has a 17 degree deadrise at transom for a
very stable platform at the aft section of the boat
with less degree of listing when weight is in one
corner. We also have a full length reverse chine
which runs from the stern to the bow of the boat
that directs water down and away from the boat for
quicker planing, improved cornering and a
smoother, drier ride overall.
Tracker transom a 20 deadrise at transom which
has a tendency to list when you put a large amount
of weight in one specific corner of the aft section.
Also the reverse chine only runs a third of the length
of their hull theen accompanied by their pressed in
performance strakes.
Starweld Two Piece Hull /Sides vs. Tracker Two Piece Hull
Starweld hulls are two piece hull w/ sides
attached to each piece. They are assembled by
welding each half of the hull / side combo piece of
.100 gauge into a full length extrusion and then
welded from the inside to give a clean look on the
hull and add superior strength from within
accompanied with the TBC – (Torsion Beam
Construction) stringer system.
Tracker uses a two piece hull and two side for
a total of 4 pieces which are then place into an
extrusion and welded plus the transom which
requires much more welding to make the hull
complete. This creates more opportunities for
weakness and inconsistency throughout the
hull. The finish is sub –par when you look at
there boat and welds compare to a Starweld.
Starweld Hull Construction vs. Tracker
Starweld Torsion Beam Construction is
superior to our competition for durability and
strength. Instead of flat I-Beams you find on
many boats Starweld uses the exclusive
Starweld Torsion Beam Construction (TBC)
Stringer system for exceptional strength and
durability against shock absorption from
waves. This bow is also considerably stronger
due to our unique heavy duty machine formed
ribs.
Tracker uses an extruded welded in keel
support that assist in taking flex out of the
hull and removes pressure where the two
hull halves meet. Not nearly as strong as
ours or due to our exclusive design.

Starweld 1900 DC Rod Storage vs. Tracker Targa V-18 Combo
Starweld has lockable in floor
rod storage for 6 –rod
combos up to 8’in length plus
has port and starboard side
rod storage as well. Side
storage makes for a much
stronger gunnel and plenty of
room to mount track,
rodholders and downriggers.
Tracker has an open in floor
compartment which can hold
rods but is not dedicated to
rods therefore making it a
sloppy storage system. They
have top load rod storage on
each side but again very poor
storage supports. Plus tough
to mount track, rod holders
and downriggers due to door.
