| And really, would you even notice if a boat was 83 or 84" wide as opposed to 90" wide..I mean we are talking 7 to 8 inches...less than the size of most of our baits..!
well, yes and no - i think it depends on the layout.
8" (or .66 foot) isn't very much...until you multiply it by 12 feet of length before the bow curves in.
12 x .66 = almost 8 square feet of additional floor space! that's quite a bit.
to my way of thinking, many boats waste that space with narrow compartments or even worse, wide gunnels with hard-to-access pocket compartments. then it doesn't matter.
but if it's open floor or deck space, it's great. an extra 6" between the seats? nice. extra width to step back on while fighting a fish? very nice. wider compartments for less crowding? great.
