Three things that bother me:
1) Non-Flat compartments. It is very hard to run the trolling motor when you have so many bumps and slippery surfaces on the bow. Plus, the rod locker and livewell are not flush with the rest of the bunks and front deck.
2) Narrow bunks. The bunks around the outside are too narrow to balance on.
3) No storage. The tiny storage compartment up front isn't enough. Once you get the life jackets in there, it is just about full.
All of these issues are solved with the Magnum. Everything is flush, the bunks are nice and wide, and there is more storage.
If I were you, I'd jump at the opportunity. |
