| Jim, are you looking at a brand new one or ???
Mine is a few years old now, but that is the exact model I have. Absolutely LOVE the boat. Mine was the last year of the 18'11" hull in the 185. After that the 185 went to 18'3" I think and now when they brought it back a couple years ago it settled in at that same length again.
It is a very wide and stable boat. I have a family of 5 and we go out it in quite often all of us and it handles really well and there is plenty of room for all of us.
I have a preference for the wide gunnels, which the Dominator and T-Pro models have. I really like the top storage, one side for rods while the other can be for any other items. On the new T-pros they eliminated the top storage on the one side which is kind of a bummer IMO. I really like having that.
I have a 150 Suzuki on mine, with a full tank of gas and 2 guys it runs 45 to 46, but I propped it down so I could keep trolling speeds down in the low 2 MPH range. I had a taller prop on it when I first got it and I could hit 50 on occasion then. I usually just cruise at 35 MPH or so.
I have the high rise bimini top which is so nice in fowl weather. I am 6'3" and I can stand up under it with still some room.
The newer models have a much better designed front livewell. Mine is enormous, but its in odd shape. I never use it for a livewell anyway, but as it sits is a poor configuration due to the cover layout etc. |
