These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 22 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.

22 distinct boats observed medium confidence Updated November 15, 2026

22 priced listings across 12 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.

Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (71 raw listings collapsed to 22 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.

Coverage: Model years 2007–2026, 12 states, 19 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take

  • Recall (USCG/CPSC)

    6 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.

Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

The 14 most recently seen of 14 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.

Engines we actually see on the 170 Pro

  • Mercury FourStroke (40–150) 1 listing · 5% of our sample

    Mid-range Mercury FourStroke (the 115 especially) is a proven, reliable workhorse on pontoons, bay boats, and aluminum hulls. Inexpensive to service and well-supported nationwide.

    Service reality: 100-hour service; impeller every 2–3 years. Frequently under-maintained on rental/value boats — verify the actual service history, not just hours.

1 listings where we could identify the engine Updated November 15, 2026

Method: Engine family matched from the listing's engine fields and title text against BoatVerdict's engine-family profiles. Prevalence is share of our sample, not factory fitment rates.

What to inspect on a used Bass Tracker 170 Pro

  1. Mercury FourStroke (40–150): 100-hour service; impeller every 2–3 years. Frequently under-maintained on rental/value boats — verify the actual service history, not just hours. Seen on 1 of the 22 170 Pro listings we track.
  2. Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Mercury FourStroke (40–150). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Mercury FourStroke (40–150).
  3. Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 75% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.

This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 170 Pro listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.

What a 170 Pro costs to own

$1,750 – $4,500 per year

  • 17 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
  • Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (TX)
  • Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
  • Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
low confidence

This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.

Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.

How this page was built

BoatVerdict tracks used-boat listings across the US and folds them onto canonical models, so "170 pro" all resolve to this one page rather than three thin ones. For the Bass Tracker 170 Pro that gives us 22 distinct boats (from 71 raw listings, before we collapsed re-posts). Publication decision: 22 distinct observations, 22 priced, 12 states, 2 model years.

We separate what we counted from what we concluded. Asking prices, listing counts, state spread and engine mix are counted. Severity ratings, ownership cost and the take are BoatVerdict analysis, labelled as such. Recalls and registry counts are primary records from federal and state sources.
