Grizzly® Duck Boats

The rugged, all-welded lineup of TRACKER® GRIZZLY® duck hunting boats delivers the rock-solid construction and stability that define GRIZZLY® jon boats. Their shallow-draft capability and confident handling let you slip through narrow boat lanes and tight trees to reach flooded backwaters and marshes where ducks congregate. Offered in 15- to 17-foot models with tiller outboard power, these boats are purpose-built for the duck marsh or timber. Sized for nimble maneuvering, and stout enough for serious loadouts, they uphold the GRIZZLY® reputation for superior design and craftsmanship. Each boat, motor and trailer package includes a Mercury® outboard, and a custom-fit trailer for worry-free transport to early-morning launches. Ample storage for shells, calls, and gear, user-friendly controls, and easy trailering make them versatile for every season. All welded, flat-bottom hulls deliver shallow-water performance with generous weight capacity for hunters and decoys, lockable compartments for valuables, and plug-and-play wiring for lights and trolling motors. Simplified layouts allow your boat setup to stay flexible and clutter-free with optional camo finishes to boost concealment in the reeds. Easy-to-clean interiors and corrosion-resistant hardware keep maintenance low, so you spend more time chasing flights and fewer hours on the upkeep.

GRIZZLY® Duck Boat Key Features

GRIZZLY Duck Boat Bull Nose Bow

Bull Nose Bow

A 3-in. diameter pipe that acts as a bumper at the bow of the boat, so any impact navigating in tight timber is an afterthought. Fabricated from thick-walled steel and capped on both ends, it disperses energy along the frame instead of concentrating force at a single point.

GRIZZLY Duck Boat Ice Breaker Keel

Ice Breaker Keel

A 1x1 angle welded onto the existing center strake of the hull below the bow eye, with ends tapered, to prevent catching lines or weeds. The Ice Breaker Keel is properly fitted to act as a reinforcing wedge to crack through ice. By concentrating impact forces along a narrow, hardened edge, the angle helps to fracture skim and shore ice rather than allowing the plate to flex.

GRIZZLY Duck Boat Spud Pole Holes

Spud pole Tubes

Spud pole tubes integrated into the bow and transom steps on both port and starboard sides allow the boat to be staked in place on the water. This setup makes anchoring in shallow water or along riverbanks quick and secure without deploying a traditional anchor. By dropping poles through the tubes, operators can hold position against wind, tide, or current for hunting from the boat, loading decoys, or even fishing. The low-profile installation preserves deck space, reduces drift, and enables silent positioning.

GRIZZLY Duck Boat Transom Steps

Aft Transom Steps

A popular feature on duck hunts that helps hunters and dogs get in and out of the boat for frequent retrieves. Low-profile, non-slip steps make re-boarding quick and safe, even with wet waders or a mouthful of feathers. Fixed, durable construction provides a reliable housing for spud tubes and stands up to heavy use from dogs and hunters alike.

GRIZZLY Duck Boat Bow Deck Storage w/ Lid

Locking Deck Storage

The lockable, oversized bow deck storage compartment features a 90-degree lid for easy access to trolling motor batteries or hunting gear like blind bags, spot lights, and motion decoy equipment. Also built for water-resistance, the compartment helps shield electronics and fabrics from spray, rain, and mud, keeping contents drier and more secure in harsh conditions.

How Does TRACKER Build Duck Boats? Tour the GRIZZLY manufacturing plant



All-welded, Wood-free construction

Grizzly duck boats are made of 100% aluminum and all-welded for long-lasting durability. No rivets. No wood. Fierce performance in the marsh and tight timber.


Precision-fit components

Components of each phase of the assembly process index off the previous phase to allow for precision fit from part to part. This method of assembly planning minimizes gapping and filler pieces, and the result is higher quality welds.


Structural Transom Support

The transom support system redirects the force and load from the outboard engine through the transom and into the stringer assembly. 


Interlocking Stringer System

An interlocking stringer assembly is crafted to add rigidity from bow to stern along the hull and forms a completely flat surface to support the cockpit floor.


Snag-free interior fit & finish

The interior layouts of the GRIZZLY duck boat lineup are designed to eliminate any problem areas where clothing and gear could snag or catch on the boat's surface.  



Washout Cockpit Layout Design

The Washout Cockpit layout of a GRIZZLY duck boat is designed to funnel water taken on from bad weather, wet decoys, or hosing out after a muddy day of duck hunting, to the rear of the boat. The open center layout allows water to move unimpeded to a large bilge opening under the aft bench and down to the large 2-in. diameter drain plug.

DuraTrack™ Marine Mat Kit

DuraTrack™ is an optional factory-installed, high-performance, xPE foam flooring solution engineered for incredible durability, traction, and long-term performance. It is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment—constant UV exposure, water intrusion, temperature fluctuations, and the physical wear and tear of hunters and gear.

What is a Duck Boat?

The duck boat segment consists of jon boats designed with layouts and features tailored to waterfowl hunters. Their hulls—typically flat-bottom, or mod-V, with minimal deadrise—excel in the shallow waters of marshes, flooded timber, backwaters, and coastal flats where migrating birds gather. Duck hunting boats prioritize maneuverability and responsive handling under heavy loads, so they are often powered by tiller outboards. Beyond shallow draft and rugged construction, waterfowl boats must also blend into their surroundings with earth-tone color palletes or camo pattern paint finishes. Modern construction pairs a tough hull with an open layout to accommodate decoys, camo grass, shotguns, electronics, fellow hunters, and a retriever. Smart features like dry storage for shells and gloves, brushed rails, and non-glare coatings to cut shine on bright mornings are common. Many rigs are setup to incorporate aftermarket configurations such as LED nav lights,  components for removable blinds and bow mounts for small trolling motors to slip quietly into potholes.
