Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A compact aluminum bass boat with real grunt

The 17' Tracker comes with a 60 hp Mercury outboard, a trolling motor for quiet presentations, and an onboard live well—everything a small team needs to hunt bass on the Chain.

THE FISHERY

Fishing on the Harris Chain of Lakes

The boat is intended for use on the Harris Chain of Lakes, a waterbody noted in the listing for its bass fishing; the Tracker’s setup is tailored to that pursuit.

THE CREW

Built for a small team

Rental rules and kit make this a three-person operation: up to three people aboard, with renter and driver required to be at least 25 years old; rods and tackle are not included but rods can be rented at checkout.

What the day feels like

Short, efficient and purpose-built: you board the 17' Tracker from Lake Harris Boat Rentals, run the 60-hp outboard to your chosen spots on the Harris Chain, use the trolling motor for stealthy approaches, and rely on the live well to keep catches healthy while you fish with a small crew.
