2025 Tracker Panfish 17

The Panfish 17 is a 16.67-foot aluminum stick-steer runabout built for panfish and light freshwater duty. The all-welded hull uses robotically cut marine-grade aluminum components assembled with precision welding to deliver solid construction. Power comes from a Mercury engine designed for economical operation.

The bow features a driver's station with throttle and stick steering, integrated fishfinder and electronics, and a large storage box to keep tackle and gear dry and accessible. The cockpit layout prioritizes fishing comfort and practicality, with a center livewell topped by a two-person cushion seat and a rear fold-down fishing seat that doubles as storage access. The design balances gear capacity with seating for two or three anglers.

This boat is engineered around the needs of anglers who value reliability and efficiency on the water. Every detail—from storage placement to the choice of power—reflects its purpose as a dedicated fishing platform rather than a general-purpose runabout.
