Years ago when a customer bought a boat everything was priced and sold separately. John L. Morris, an avid fisherman, wanted to make boat buying easier. So he created one of the industry s first ready-to-fish boat packages, and TRACKER Boats became an instant success. Tracker Marine manufactures and sells a number of boat brands. Brands include TRACKER Boats, which include the performance aluminum, Mod V, Deep V, Jon and Utility models; NITRO, which includes performance, fish-n-ski and center console models; regency, signature series and deck style models of SUN TRACKER boats; Tahoe brand models of ski-n-fish, runabout and deck style; Kenner Vision and VX Series models; MAKO cabin models, center console models, dual console models and inshore models; SEACRAFT boats; and MYACHT house boats.
