BoatVerdict market snapshot
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 26 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
21 priced listings across 14 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 (147 raw listings collapsed to 26 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1991–2025, 14 states, 15 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $25,500 and $36,000, only a 1.4x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
28 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 13 most recently seen of 13 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.
Tracker recalls and accident record
Of 1,034Tracker boats in USCG accident records: fire or explosion 2%, flooding or swamping 10%, capsizing 9%, total loss 9%, at least one death 17%. The rate counts accidents in Texas and New York waters from 2014 to 2023 (53) against 41,912 Tracker boats registered in those two states, the only states that publish boat-level registrations. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.
These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.
Recalls affecting Tracker

Engines we actually see on the 18 Targa V Combo
- Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400)
Modern Mercury V8/V10 FourStroke and supercharged Verado are strong, smooth, and well-supported, a clear step up from the OptiMax era. Slightly behind Yamaha on resale trust but closing fast, and often better integrated (joystick, digital throttle).
Service reality: 100-hour service; supercharged Verado adds the supercharger oil interval. Check for corroded battery cables and the SmartCraft harness on saltwater boats.

What a 18 Targa V Combo costs to own
$1,500 – $4,000 per year
- 18 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Freshwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (AZ)
- 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
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.
