Location: Hayward, WI | I have a 2019 VS 1882 SC with a Yamaha VF175.
Fit and finish is not great. Wrinkles in carpet, compartments not fitting perfect, small issues with paint... But it is not horrible.
Not easy to run wiring through the boat. Way more time than normal to run transducer cables, network cables, new charger cables... Just not well thought out.
Handles rough water good, but as with most aluminum boats, it can be wet,
Fishes good. Front and rear decks are of good size and at a good height.
Rod storage only takes up to maybe 8' rods, have not found many aluminum boats that are better than that. Would be nice to be able to lock them up.
Wish there was a roller trailer option, I use lots of shallow landings. I had to upgrade my winch to something much bigger to help load the boat at these landings.
None of the storage compartments are dry. I have to use totes or dry bags for things I need to stay dry. |
