Boat Features

Right off the bat, Rick and George loved the all-around versatility of this boat. We do too! It’s comfortable enough to take the family out but is set up for serious anglers.

Centered live wells, bait stations, and insulated fish boxes make this boat a must for any angler. The boat is fishable from the bottom up, with diamond non-skid patterns in the lining.

Lockable rod storage keeps your rods safe while you’re getting where you need to go. The live-bait well under the console seat keeps bait fresh and ready and is easily accessible at all times.

Open up the backrest of the console seat for your tackle station, located in the driest part of the boat! The boat comes rigged for a trolling motor, so it’s for a flats trip. The driver’s console seat backrest even reclines for backward facing fishing.

Under that driver’s seat is your cooler, a brand new even better model. Its ice life is noticeably longer than the brands older models.

When you’re ready for a break, take the shallow water anchor out of its locker and throw it down. You can unbutton the back seats and have a party of 10 sitting comfortably.
