On the plus side, when you have friends that want a nice cruze on the river, it's really comfy. It does add weight to the stern. I leave it out for early season fishing, put it in when I have company and for mid summer cruzing and then take it out in the fall. I do have both an RPS and a 162qt cooler, so no shortage of seats for the friends I fish with.
It also takes up stern space for landing fish. If you have two to three people fishing you may need all the open gunnal space, assuming you actually catch fish. We have a tendency not too Smile


Definately great for cruising.

Dealer called today to discuss steering options. I decided to go with the Teleflex SeaStar hydraulic system. The old Suzuki motor had a single manual steering arm.

Dealer performed sea trial during final rigging process. The boat ran 47 MPH on I-Command GPS with two people and 3/4 tank of fuel (SS 17 Viper). I am picking it up tomorrow.
