The next one I get will have more room on the front deck whatever it is, the boat Bill and I fished out of (sorry Bill that I dont remember which one it was) and Dickie's War Eagle both had PLENTY of room up front. My boat lacks that, it'll do but niether of those tin boats road near as good as the glass does. There are some FINE tin rides out there now a days but I still dont think they compare to the glass boats, if they did I highly doubt Andy would have looked all over the country for his Ranger he is in now.
