I should have said this in my earlier post. If you're looking to buy a boat that you have never spent time in, you need to find out if it fits you, and the way you fish. I climb into the boat and go thru a fishing trip in my mind. This doesn't take just a few minutes either, 15 or 20 is a minimum in my mind. As you sit there, you will be surprised what comes to mind, and what you notice that does or doesn't work for you. Best to leave the wife home, they get kinda antsy after a few minutes. I walked away from 2 boats that I really liked after doing this, too much wasted space and other considerations. Just my opinion, but it worked for me and saved me some grief and money by not buying a boat that didn't fit. After you do it once in the boat, you can stand alongside and pick up things like I'm talking about.
