Looking for some reliable information on the 985. I am looking at a used one for sale, but want to make sure I make a well informed decision. Anyone willing to discuss objectively what they like on this boat.

I don't think there is anything about these boats that you wont like, great storage, big livewells, very stable ride and very comfortable to fish out of.

These are true fishing machines with unmatched rod storage,ride and comfort. I have the 985 dual console and have had nothing but a positive experience with it. In my opinion you will not find another boat on the market with these options in this price range. John at Recon makes a great product and will customize the boat to your liking!. Shoot me a pm with any detailed or specific questions,

They look like nice boats. Never seen one in person but the layout looks nice. I like the back deck with "sides" kind of like some of the Rangers have. Looks like it would be easy to run a trolling motor from the back. Front deck and rod locker looks great too.

Unfortunately I probably won't own one, but just because of what I'm in the market for. I with the 785 was just a little longer to get it to around 17'6", and the 985 is bigger than what works for me at this time. Also no tiller is offered, though I asked about that and the reply was that a tiller was being considered.

They look like a great value!
