[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 359039, member: 13419"] Another thing to note: The boat is much more stable than I expected. I am not sure if this is due to the beavertail pods welded on the back or that 42 inches across the bottom is make it that stable. I was able to fish standing on one of the rear pods without a problem. I definitely did not expect that level of stability. Also some people had some concern that there wouldn't be any space to move around the center console. I am happy to report thats not the case. Moving around the boat is extremely easy and I think moving the console to the center actually saved some space because the original configuration left some space between the front of the console and the middle bench that was essentially wasted. The layout of the boat is great. Probably going to end up with two seats on the front deck and on the rear deck to fish three people. The boat will probably be fished with 1 to 2 people most of the time. [/QUOTE]
