I had a bay boat about the size couple feet shorter, than one you linked, 18ft polar . same layout. good for two people.... thats it.... if you buddy has a buddy that wants to come along it gets tight running around. See how the cooler seat is real close to the CC? thats a problem as well.... standing is uncomfortable unless you spread your feet outside the sides of the console. The back casting platform in theory is a good idea....but id rather have the space to run around when a fish is on.... sounds silly but the 19 ft twin vee baycat i bought 3 months later solved all that. don't have to worry about to high freeboard either, its low.... id recommend checking them out if you are serious about getting a bay boat any time soon.. best ride ive ever had.

old boat.

3 mos later


new boat
