Location: davis,IL | Something to think of here is the size of the front deck, it may not be the factor some think it is. I recently sold a fishhawk 1750 and bought an Alumacraft Navigator 185cs. the front deck on the Fishhawk was at least a foot longer but narrower. I don't think the difference in deck size will matter as I fish 2 guys to the boat... one in front one in back. I've noticed that while fishing I rarely move back behind the front seat post. The distance from the post to the bow is roughly the same between the two boats, so realisticly it should be about the same. My point is that if you are fishing 2 guys on the front deck, then deck space is at a premium. If you have the deck to yourself it may not matter much at all. I feel the size of the front deck is not as critical when running a tiller or single console boat. if running a dual console or walk through you loose a lot of space for the consoles. On Both boats the raised decks are 11" above the main floor, I think this also factors into the overall picture. |
